weekend
Pinburgh seemed pretty successful. I did not play at all. Seeing the scores in all the divisions, I figured my money was better spent elsewhere, for the most part. :p
The trip to Paul's CDs was a good one. Five CD's for $60 is hard to beat. I purchased some CD's by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds; the new Karl Hendricks Trio; a Tortoise CD chosen at random; a Morphine album I didn't have; and a The Sea And Cake CD I didn't have. Well, obviously I didn't have any of them before I bought them, but some of the choices are just that. "Hmm, I like this band, and I don't have this here album. So I will buy it."
So far the Nick Cave album is doing the most for me, with the Tortoise album second. I am thankful to the helpful person working at Paul's. I asked if he had any familiarity with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. He responded yes. I was looking for something more along the lines of The Boatman's Call than Nick's other albums. Recommended was No More Shall We Part. Good recommendation. :)
Tortoise is (at least on this album I got) an instrumental band, somewhat light rock almost bordering on jazz. It's just plain enjoyable.
I was disappointed that I couldn't find the Last Great Liar EP I wanted or anything by Icebreaker, but them's the breaks.
Nothing really new to report about baby.
