song of the hour: lofidelity allstars – battleflag
in further joyful news, while going to the screening of “O” at the galaxy theater last night, I hit up a tower records clearance sale and got 6 cds I’d wanted for a while for $36! whoohoo!! I got the Depeche Mode best of albums — singles 81-85 and 86-98. I also picked up “this is alice music: vol. 4,” the American Beauty soundtrack, Classic Disney vol. 1, and the Tarzan soundtrack. :) the only catch was with the Tarzan soundtrack — unfortunately I hadn’t noticed that it was the spanish version!! hehhe. but it still sounds good.. and it’s a kick to hear phil collins sing in spanish. :) and actually, they had a lot of copies of the lofidelity allstars cd… I was tempted to get it, but I haven’t heard enough off of it to blow even *more* cash. I am tempted to go back, though. :) The store, which is on Hollywood blvd right next to the Galaxy Theater, across from the El Capitan, is closing in a few days!! so haul ass over there if you’re looking for some good used cd/vhs/ld deals. :)
listening to the dm:singles cds makes me wish I’d gone to the tour supporting it. -clenches hand into a fist and bites knuckles.-
anyway, I also recently discovered a band called “five for fighting.” you can find out more about them here . I’ve downloaded a couple of their songs, and they’re really good! they kind of remind me of the counting crows and vertical horizon… a good balance between the two. songs to hear: superman, easy tonight, bloody mary. I want to hear the rest of the cd now. :)
