Had a nice big haul today from the record store that will be closing its doors for good in a week. Nice combination of new stuff, older stuff, and stuff I had never even heard of, but which had a cool enough cover to spend a dollar on.
Thom Yorke - Eraser Rosanne Cash - Black Cadillac Talk Talk - The very best Will Hoge - The man who killed love Dalek- From filthy tonghe of gods and griots The Bigger Lovers - this affair never happened... Blind Boys of Alabama - Atom Bomb Dan Bern - fleeting days Appleseed cast - peregrine Tribute to Ben Berns Hard Fi - Stars of cctv Blue Nile - Peace at last Saturday looks good to me - every night Holopaw - out/or fight Mason Jennings - Be Here Now Omara Portuondo - Flor de Amor The Red Thread - ship in the attic Hayes Carll - Little rock Wrinkle Neck Mules - pull the break Tragically Hip - In Violet Light Gordon Downie - Battle of the nudes NRBQ - NRBQ Stephen Merritt - Showtunes Tim Easton - Ammunition The Mills Brothers - best of Willy Mason - Where the humans eat Jimmy Scott - Moon Glow Mike Watt- Ballhog or tugboat Dave van Ronk - and the tin pan bended... KD Lang - Absolute torch and twang MAry Gauthier - Mercy now Damien Jurado - Rehersals for departure Blanche - If we can't trust the doctors
That's a helluva haul, klt. I'm annoyed with myself that I never made the effort to go out there before the imminent closure. Damn!
My last few days have found the following added to my collection:
Serena-Maneesh Sugarcult: Lights Out (advance of forthcoming full-length) Squeeze: Gold (2 disc Euro best-of) Paul WellerStanley Road (3-disc special anniversary edition)
and I got my copy of Sufjan's Avalanche in the mail today.

Well, if you still want to, they will be open one more weekend. I'm guessing they will do some kind of sale that would make it definately worthwhile, because they are already selling them for about a dollar and a quarter, and the guy there said they would be even cheaper the last weekend.
Crazed, I posted about that album in the alt-country section just a few hours ago. It's a great album, and all I could think as I was listening to it was 'why haven't I heard of or heard this band before today?'
Touch Records 25th Anniversary compilation Amon Düül II - Carnival in Babylon
By the way Sicnarf...I saw that you bought pg.99 Document #8 a few pages back. That record kicks some ass but my favorite thing they ever did was the stuff on the split with Majority Rule. It was very Unwound sounding.
I'm going to be really, really curious as to what you think of the Mills Brothers.
That Saturday Looks Good to Me was one of my rave faves of 2004 and time has done nothing to diminish that.
I'm not totally new to the Mills Brothers, and I've always liked what I've heard. The compilation I got doesn't look like the best sampling of their music, but it should be fun to listen to. I'll let you know what I think after I have a chance to listen to it a bit.
The Saturday Looks Good to Me album is really fun. Another one that I don't know why I didn't listen to earlier. I expect I'll listen to this one a lot.

Golden Smog: Another Fine Day Third Eye Blind: A Collection (I've always liked 3rd Eye Blind's singles, but never cared for the records on the whole. This is a perfect set: all hits, no filler!) The Jam: Gold Waterloo: Out of the Woods
