most of the time i plan what i want to but, then i check ebay and amazon to see if i can get it cheap, if i cant then i will go into Birmingham and go to my local indipendant record stores, first swordfish, which rarely has what i want but the guy behind the counter is a SY fan and he always hides the rarest sonic youth stuff behind the counter so you have to ask him. then i'll go to Tempest, the greatist record shop ever, if an (alternative) album exists then its in that shop. The guys who work in there are really nice too, sometimes things can be kinda pricey but its worth it because the stuffs so rare.
so thats my record buying process.
