undermining my work place

from Jordan Green's Yes Weekly article published Jan. 14, 2009:

Edward McKay Used Books and More

1607 Battleground Ave., Greensboro, 336.294.1884, www.edmckay.com Edward McKay strikes me as a hipster ghetto — a source of menial and minimal-commitment employment for members of the lumpen-creative class intent on maintaining some modest cash flow while they make art and play in bands. While I was browsing the CD racks one night last month, the staff was joyously blasting Huey Lewis & the News. I was digging it too, but I worried I would need to demonstrate a fine sense of the irony of Huey Lewis before I might gain admittance to the charmed circle. In any case, the bottom line is that the used CDs are affordable, and if you can’t find what you’re looking for, you’ll probably spot something you like. I picked up a copy of the Beastie Boys classic, Paul’s Boutique, an expanded reissue of Johnny Cash At San Quentin and a hologram-cover CD that includes only the symbol for the artist formerly known as Prince.
