It is bright, sunny, and beautiful here today. It is so warm it feels like summer. This is a grand treat.
Last weekend we took the time to go out in support of our favorite independent record store on the day designated for support of such institutions. When we drove to the location in town, where we usually go, there was a line literally around the block to get in. We skipped that and went to the other branch out by the mall. It was also busy, but at least we could get in the door. We wandered around, but were disappointed in both the selection and the prices. We finally left dejected.
Today we went out again. This time we were able to walk right into our usual spot just like always. The selection was a lot better, with good variety and a lot of used. The prices were enticing on a few things that we wouldn't have otherwise gotten.
New:
Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas "In The Moment" (I've been wanting this for a while and haven't wanted to pay shipping to get it)
Bellydance Superstars Vol. IV (music to bellydance to)
The Pogues "Rum, Sodomy, & the Lash" remastered version (I'm still filling in my Pogues)
Used:
The Pogues "Red Roses For Me"
Barbara Manning "1212"
Aimee Mann "The Forgotten Arm"
Tom Waits "Blue Valentine"
Supertramp "Crime of the Century"
Cherry Poppin' Daddies "Zoot Suit Riot"
Now I'm going to clean the house and listen to music. Maybe later there will be a bit of rum involved.
