What if the locals don't have it?

Then you look to the international sellers.    Though as he said the internationals have better prices, so even though there's the chance of losing one due to the postal service's lack of skill I'd probably do like him and order regularly from internationals.

Anyway Joel, how are you liking Caravan so far?

Really enjoying it so far, about a minute into Nine Feet Underground. The lyrics are great too.

The lyrics to Love to Love You are great.

Hey Joel, we are genre teamates now.

Canterbury Scene is all lighthearted and whimsical, with lots of jazz influences.

I'm on Avant and Prog Metal - I kinda wanted Post Metal though, might try and swap later once there are more collabs

I don't know nearly enough about any metal genre to even think about considering the possibility of being on a team over there...I'm hoping to learn from the site more than anything (though I can't say I'm very much looking to get into much metal at the moment, I've got enough on my plate catching up with Prog/Jazz/Classical). 

And Joel, that's a crazy price difference.

I don't know any metal either, I need to learn moar jazz, so far into jazz I could can tell you if something is jazz or not.

I can do that and on occasion even comment on which style of jazz something's supposed to be thanks to my jazz class I took last semester.   A lot of the styles sounded incredibly similar, though, especially the earlier ones.  I'd say that from around bop and later I'd usually be able to say what's what.
