Letters to the editor
I love to go "thrifting" because the selection in thrift stores always varies, and you never know what kind of deal you will find. I'm not embarrassed to shop at thrift stores, even if that means someone else has already worn the clothing I might purchase. Some people don't like that idea, or how some stores smell like stuffy laundry rooms, or believe that the clothes they sell are too worn or outdated to be stylish. Other people just don't have the convenience of a thrift store near them, but there are a few secondhand clothing stores in the State College area that offer plenty of good deals if you are willing to take the time and look for them. I decided to check them out.

The duo's most recent release, Magic Potion, delivers the same rawness found on its past work, only even better. This past Saturday, the duo shot up the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. I had a chance to chat with Carney about his influences, musical style and past tours.
