• Got my first batch of stuff from Amazon today. I am incredibly happy, and cannot wait to be in my basement listening to the new stuff. I ordered Shriekbacks' "The Y Record Years" compilation, and instead received "Natural History". However, Natural History is superior to the Y Record Years in terms of the songs contained. In addition to My Spine Is The Baseline (which was on the cracked disc I was replacing), I have Nerve, My Careful Hands, and New Home, among others. Between the two, there are the majority of older Shriekback songs I really like, missing only Partyline, and Achtung. On a side note: I will have to give Coromont a listen. I also got Jim Capaldis' "Firece Hearts". I had wanted the song Living on the Edge, which I've not heard in some years (I wasn't certain of who did the song until last year). I will have to give the rest of the album a try, and see if I like anything else. While I would have preferred a CD copy of "Sounds From True Stories", I will happily settle for (once again) having the cassette version. The two main songs I wanted were Cocktail Desperado and Disco Hits, but City of Steel (the Talking Heads version is "City of Dreams"), and "Glass Operator" (the Tealking Heads version is "Dream Operator") are also good pieces. The Darling Buds' debut album, "Crawdaddy", was a much-listened to favorite of mine in the early 90s. I bought the cassette version along with Transvision Vamps' album"Little Magnets vs the Bubble of Babble". I liked the songs "Tiny Machine", "Do You Have to Break My Heart?", and "Makes No Difference". Feeling pretty good. Can't wait to listen to music tonight. But first, have to get through the workday (1/2 way point now), and a family therapy session with my son. Finally got the new Fantastic Four cartoon TiVO'd this weekend. I didn't watch it yet, but I look forward to it. Maybe Tuesday night. I had my RPG Saturday night, and that was a lot of fun. Didn't get to bed until a little after 05:00 Sunday Morning. Sunday, I got roped into helping put curtains up (I could care less about the curtains). I was a little irritated I think because I kept getting put off when I asked for help in putting up my shelves for my weapons and action figures, yet, when curtains needed to go up, I was drafted. In any event, the new music is making me too happy to dwell on any negativity. Hopefully, I'll have a check in the mail when I get home, and then I can pay my 1/2 of the rent, and have money in the bank. And that will make me feel ecstatic (although, I am no happier paying rent than anyone is, despite my ability to do so. I am just relieved to be able to do so).
