Today was a bit of a crazy day for me, music-wise. I got up early and stopped off at work to both pick up Regina Spektor's What We Saw From The Cheap Seats, and order the LP re-release of August & Everything After.
After that, I needed to go out to the mall to check out some wedding registry stuff, but after crossing that off my list, I allowed myself to stop by FYE and browse through their CDs. I've found some cool stuff there in the last few months, and today was no exception. I got really good deals, though, so in my head it's okay. Here's what I wound up with
1) Here - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
2) Something To Remember Me By - Ben Lee ($6.99!)
3) Welcome To Discovery Park - Brad ($.50!)
4) The Daddy Of Them All - Space Monkeys ($1.50!)
The Brad record intrigues me because it's one of Stone Gossard's side projects. Speaking of Stone, after the last few Pearl Jam records have been so awesome, I could stand to hear a new one by them, too.
The Space Monkeys record is more of an inside joke than anything else. I've never heard of them before.
My potential downfall today came in stopping off at Hot Topic after leaving FYE. They had a copy of Aim & Ignite, Fun.'s first record, on vinyl, when I was there last week, and I figured that if it was still there, it was a sign from above that I needed it. They didn't have it. They had Some Nights instead. So I left with that one.
Didn't do much playing today, but I did grab a new printer cartridge, so I can print out some blank bass tab sheets that I can actually read. I'll jot some of those ideas down before I fall asleep tonight. I took a two hour couch nap from 9-11, so I should be up for a while. All in all, a really good, really relaxing day off.
