There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
But then I have a house, and a good deal more storage space, so the biggest problem is finding the actual CDs after I've ripped them, put them in boxes and put the boxes away....
Yeah, my wee studio's a little overloaded. Plus, I've been getting rid of superfluous things all over - except for books. There are no superfluous books.
Trade it in at amoeba, and use the dosh to buy an external backup drive. Somethin' for somethin' right there. (I can direct you to some automated backup programs if you want, juliana. Also, you can get tons of space on the cheap now, so depending on your cd collection you might still be able to score those motorcycle leathers. *g*)
I noticed on the way to work that the nearby record store is having a big sale. Since I'll be toddling over there after work, are there any new releases that have rocked Buffista socks?

Oooh, yes please. And the jacket (and Frye boots, because I know won't be satisfied with just Docs) will be mine! Muhahahaha!
Who are your favorites, Shrift?
Who are your favorites?
Ha. That could take all day. It's easier to mention things I don't like. I'm still not wild about country, a lot of folk, R&B, and fail to truly appreciate The Mountain Goats. I got over my aversion to pop, at least.
Pink Martini has a new album that is as delicious as their others. I only discovered them a month or two ago, so despite the fact that the bloom isn't entirely off the rose, they're quickly ascending to Combustible-Edison-like favorite status with me.
OK, recent stuff I like includes Deerhunter's Cryptograms, Shearwater's Palo Alto, Deerhoof's Friend Opportunity, Yo La Tengo's I Am Not Afraid of You And I Will Beat Your Ass, Panda Bear's Person Pitch, Andrew Bird's Armchair Apocrypha, anything by Akron/Family, anything by Espers (and I'm getting away from "recent" to "underappreciated," I think), anything by Jens Lekman, Midlake, the new Spoon, has the new Beastie Boys record dropped?, the Clientele's God Save The Clientele, The Dexateens' Hardwire Healing, Voxtrot's s/t album, ok that's all I have at the moment.
I Am Not Afraid of You And I Will Beat Your Ass
Go to the record store and ask for it by name.
(But seriously, a must-have).
