wildflowersoulDrew got me Bose headphones for Christmas, and they are the best things ever. My T ride this morning was so enjoyable, I was in a little cocoon of music. I went totally crazy on iTunes last night and bought a bunch of music, and it all makes me very happy indeed.
Purchased:
Sarge: The Glass Intact-- One of my favorite albums of all time, my copy of this on cd has been MIA for years now, so I'm finally replacing it. Of course, the law of missing cds dictates that it will turn up sometime this week. Elizabeth Elmore is a brilliant songwriter. I'm so sad that the band she formed after Sarge broke up, The Reputation, is now defunct, too. Given that she was playing in these bands while going to law school, I suspect that she now wants to practice law. I'm hoping she continues to write some songs now and then.
Rainer Maria: Catastrophe Keeps Us Together-- Apparantly Rainer Maria just broke up, too. I've enjoyed Rainer Maria for a long time. How can you not like a band that names itself after a somewhat depressing German poet? Listening to this reminds me of discovering Look Now Look Again in the punk rack of WRBC, and binging on emo back when it was closer Fugazi than Fall Out Boy.
Rilo Kiley: More Adventurous-- While I had heard of them for a while, I thought, for some unkown reason, that I wouldn't like them, so I'm just now getting around to giving them a try. Jenny Lewis has a fantastic voice! I am hooked. Of course, they're probably now defunct, too, as I know she has a solo album out and has been touring on her own.
Tegan & Sara: So Jealous-- I've been a bit put off by their appeal to the "Indigo Girls crowd," which is not to say "lesbians," but rather, those who like chicks singing folkishly boring songs. But Tegan & Sara are not boring, which is more than I can say for the Indigo Girls. I actually saw these ladies open for Ryan Adams at the Orpheum a while ago, which still stands as the most amazing show ever because the entire time he was on stage the Orpheum was completely silent. No woo guys, polite clapping between songs, you could hear a pin drop in that place.
So that's that.
