Why not a quick update? Mom gave me for Christmas:
Al Green - Lay It Down
Calexico - The Black Light
Raphael Saadiq - The Way I See It
And Cat Power's The Greatest might be on the way. Apparently it went "Temporarily Out Of Stock" right after she ordered it. Seriously? In some areas, Amazon really has to get it together.
Also, today I went to the Plan 9 in Harrisonburg. Pathetic. Makes the Plan 9 in Williamsburg look like, uh, the Plan 9 in Richmond. The used section was a total disaster. They had nothing anybody would want, and what they did have was ludicrously priced. I got a couple out of the new section, so it wasn't a total loss. A new copy of Parliament's Up For The Down Stroke (I'm going to get more vigorous about finding their records, because the more I listen to them the more I believe that civilizations could be built on their chanting) and a Mary J. Blige Retrospective. If I'm going to get serious about getting into neo-soul, I need to get introduced to Blige somehow, and a 2-LP set for less than 8 bucks seems like not a bad way to do it.
In worse news, I missed the bid on the Elmore James LP that was up this morning. Missed it by 2 seconds. At about 30 seconds left I went to put in my bid, and then found out that of course my password was not saved on this computer like it is at home. So I had to go through a couple passwords before I remembered which one it was, and by that time the auction was up. Nobody else bid on it either, could've put in the bid three days ago and still gotten it. Idiot!
Now back to eating a shitload of fudge, cookies, and Chex Mix. To hell with it, that's what New Year's resolutions are for.
