Went on Amazon to get myself some 'comfort' albums. I'd say it's the aural equivalent of crawling under your bed and eating a tub of ice cream while watching Oprah, but not quite so dramatic.
Been meaning to get these singles for months. Decided I want them now:
Pyamid Song EP
Knives Out Pt.1
Kinves Out Pt. 2
High And Dry Pt. 1

Interviewed for a job today. That's GREAT for me - I'm running out of money and my other leads fell through. I should hear back from them in a day or two.
Got some cool albums and singles used at the local shoppe. I've got quite the list I still need to get, but I've had to hold off until I get a cash flow back...

Gliding through the Calculus quiz and Physics midterm I had today, and a full weekend before me with no homework (unless I decide to do some early.... of course that won't happen.)
Finding recordings of some of Jonny Greenwood's other works: 'Smear' and 'Piano For Children'. This is some sweeeeeeeeeet thinkin' music.

I don't know if you've tried eBay. I purchase a lot of vinyls on auction sites, though I prefer looking for records in actual shops. Luckily there are many good second hand record shops here in Stockholm, which is quita a big city (capital of Sweden).
Ebay and Amazon are very, very last resorts for me. I don't like internet shopping... the wait, the shipping costs, annoying sellers who don't ship for a week or more. I want those albums but haven't wanted them enough so far to go online. I'll keep hunting in the local stores.
-
Tom Verlaine - s/t (fantastic debut!)
Richard Lloyd - Alchemy (another ex-Television member's debut, great album)
I've never found these... now I want 'em even more!

My tuition bill is $300 less than what I was expecting.
I've got money to spare to cover it. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
Even doing poorly on my Calc quiz today can't dampen my spirits.

Never been much of a fan. I have 5-6 of their albums because I keep finding them used for $4.
I dunno about a favorite song, but I absolutely love the acoustic cut of Pop Song '89 off the rarities disc of In Time. I think that song sports some of their finest lyrics:
'Hello, I saw you - I know you - I knew you
think I can remember your name'
'Hello, my friend, are you visible today?'
Love it.

My mom knows the singer of BTS! He used to bartend at the bar next door to my favorite local record store!
I should've asked you if you had any connection with them - I hear they hail from Boise.
-
Just got a great lead on a job that should carry me through the next semester or two until I can get that internship at my uncle's music gear factory.
-
There Will Be Blood - Jonny Greenwood
Giant Steps - John Coltrane
Live - Built To Spill
I bought the BTS album because they're coming to town end of February and I wanted to know if they can throw it down on stage. It's got a 20 minute jam session cover of Cortez The Killer... and it sounds pretty good.

Muse, your post makes me happy !!
Brak and Zorak !!! Love 'em !!!
I've got this Space Ghost cd...where they sing the silly songs on them...my favorite is a parody of 'Cant touch this'..by Hammer...funny !!!!!
I've got that album, too.
Though, I've always preferred Space Ghost: Coast To Coast over Cartoon Planet. Its humour appeals more to me.
Space Ghost: 'Brain wave! How about you guys come up here and be my new house band?'
Beck: 'Um...'
SG: 'Come on... I got two turntables and my mommy's home!'

Zep fans hate the beatles for being better.
Its the inferiority complex that keeps on giving.
I hated them because it's all my siblings would listen to. Many of their songs still annoy me, mostly whatever the radio stations overplay.
But they're OK now. I love The White Album.
-
I just watched 10 episodes of Space Ghost: Coast To Coast in a row. I laughed the whole way through, even though I've seen each of them countless times.
They need to release more volumes on DVD. 3 is not enough.

Got this while Christmas shopping tonight:
OK - it's a new month so I bought my new supply...If this doesn't tide me over until Christmas there is something seriously wrong with me.
OK. So WHAT?!?! Someone gave me a gift card and I had to use it. Fine. There's something seriously wrong with me.
HAPPY NOW!?!

That cut I got from biting my own lip (D'oh) is finally healed... I hate mouth sores... they sting.
But it's gone now so that's good.My new guitar is finally getting properly broken in (i.e. the strings actually stay in tune now... the G is still giving me trouble, though.) It sounds sooooo gooooood.
and... my friend is letting me borrow one of his super nintendo controllers. I busted the thing out of it's old box last night and my controller was so old and hammered I couldn't even get Mario to move.

In the case of 'sampling'...I understand that...
I thought you were buying it for your 'collection'....therein lies the difference for me.
I personally hate that so many actually buy mp3's (128k) as the new standard though..for their collection ! When in transit or on computer speakers, I'll admit...a 192 or 320 k bit rate suffices....but the amount that's downloaded and the same people who abandon buying CD's are making CD's an audiophile market...less made..gonna be higher priced...and that's artificial....first time in history the 'standard' is going downhill...
and all the 'dockstations' for iPods....to hook to your grand Bose systems....from mostly such a lousy bitrate !! I laugh at the irony...
Ya gots a point. I spent a solid week ripping all my albums onto my iPod without thinking what the bit rate was... turns out it was all done in 128. D'oh. There's no way I'm reripping all that again, so bands and albums I like more, or I think really need the higher quality, get the 256 treatment. The rest I'm just leaving as is.
Besides, everything wouldn't fit on it if it was all in higher bit rates... I've only 30G to work with here, people.

That 'You Don't Know What Love Is...' song really, really annoys me.
-
I got about halfway through (an abridged) War And Peace at work today. I was skimming. I don't think I could take reading every last detail. It's pretty good but I'm sure I won't be reading it again once I'm done.
Tolstoy was clearly paid based on the length of the book.
-
Have you listened to disc 2 of In Rainbows yet? It's pretty ace!
I still don't have it... it could be up to another week before I get it.
Woooooooo.
I've heard the pictures on the enhanced CD are pretty funny.
I also got Red by King Crimson, so I'm pretty happy.Yeah man, it'll be worth every penny.
-
Cat Stevens is the man. So much better than many of the more respected artists in the "dude who sings with an acoustic" category.
Teaser And The Firecat is a surprisingly strong album, every track is great.
-
Planet Of Ice - Minus The Bear
-
OK - it's a new month so I bought my new supply...
A Love Supreme - John Coltrane
Project Infinity - Man... Or Astro-Man!?
Power, Corruption & Lies - New Order
Hvarf-Heim - Sigur Ros
Tremolo EP - My Bloody Valentine
Glider EP - My Bloody Valentine
Electric Ladyland - Jimi Hendrix Experience (can you believe I waited all this time to get this thing? I'd heard it before but never bothered buying it.)
...and I'm more than ready for my In Rainbows discbox to arrive in the next week or two.
If this doesn't tide me over until Christmas there is something seriously wrong with me.

Radiohead @ Earl's Court - 2003.11.27
The best live recording I've ever heard by any band - this was recorded and broadcasted live for XFM. They set new heights for themselves on so many songs this night...
Got 'How To Disappear Completely' on right now; I'm feeling a tad lonely and it's snowing up a storm outside.
Welcome to December.
-
I've got Husker Du's Zen Arcade playing... I'm trying to decide whether I want to buy this album or not.
The vocals aren't agreeing with me.
But it's gone now so that's good.
