CD shopping

Woke up earlier this morning, decided to do some CD shopping. Based on my research, most of the music stores are on Ave. Corrientes, but there is one on Callao. According to the website, the store on Callao is accessible from both D and B line. So I took the D line to Callao.

Walking on Callao I found this little music store called Cool Music on Callao 687. There are some compilation CDs that look like bootleg. But the price is great. 12 pesos each. The guy was friendly (sure, a good sale man). So I bought 11 of those and a few Tango Argentino and Reliquias. Total cds bought from this place: 18, cost: $266 peso.

Had some nice media luna and Cafe Con leche. I was happy because I love tango music like tangueras love Comme Il Faut.

Walked on down Callao, I found another one called El Mundo de la Musica on Callao 453 and they are selling the some compilation for only 10 pesos. Better selections on Tango Argentino and Reliquias. Me, little kid into a candid store, hands were full of cds. They had to charge my credit three time because there was limit on the maximum amount on each authorization. I am sure that I am the biggest customer of the day. Walked out the store half an hour later with 34 cds and three credit card bill total: $657 peso.

Now I am on my CD shopping spree. Finally got to Ave Corrientes, went into El Atril on Corrientes 1743, which is right off from the B line Uruguay stop. They had the same problem: had to break my order into two smaller charges. At El Atril, I bought 15 CDs, cost: $337 peso.
But I still couldn't find any of the Esteban Morgado CDs.

I was about done with my shopping. Walked out the store, and heard some nice tango music, looked around and found MagicMusica right across the street at Corrientes 1644. Walked in, and found that this store has the best price of all, 2 Pesos less than other stores on the same ones that I bought. I regretted to be an impulsive shopper earlier. Could have save some cheddars.

Incidentally she was playing the Milongueros by Esteban Morgado. I selected nine more CDs from this store and spent another $218 pesos.

That was it. No more shopping for me... at least for the day. I thought about taking a cab back to the apartment. Nah, Subway is cheaper, much cheaper.

Got back about half an hour later. 1500 pesos poorer and 72 CDs richer, I put on the Milongueros CD and rewarded myself for being such a good shopper with a left over Big Mac and a glass of Malbec.

Then a nap before heading to Los Consagrados to sit with Ruben y Cherie and their amigos y amigas. It is supposed to be a portenos' milonga. Maybe to Italia Unita later. It is going to be a long night of milongas.
