so, i got my mog swag today. i'm going to take it over to a couple of the local record shops (they let us put shit up for free). i was delighted to see that the fliers i got said "a musical nudist colony", as that is absolutely my favorite tagline thus far.anyhow, i haven't been around much lately. new in my musical world:i got a call from adam, the owner of Volume (my favorite local shop, been going since i was about 12) saying that my CDs were in, so I now own legitimate, non-downloaded copies of:
*The Decemberists*, _The Crane Wife_. (now, this one, i can explain. i spent COUNTLESS dollars on a psychotic trip up to DC, staying in hostels, etc. to see them - TWICE! - at the 9:30 club, and didn't have the money to actually PURCHASE the CD. but i have now. AND I saw the goddamn CD at Target for $9.99, but spent $16 on it at Volume, because I support my independent shops instead of stupid big corporations. so i get extra credit, dammit. the sin of downloading it has been erased.)
*Tarkio*, _Omnibus_. Colin Meloy's first band. Very different from the Decemberists. Have been looking for it online for months, and finally broke down and bought it. TWO DISCS! is a Christmas Miracle. it's like new decemberists music i've never heard, only not. because it's just colin. but i love him.
*Menomena*, _I Am The Fun Blame Monster_. Because I've been touting it for months and it seemed wrong not to actually own it. Came with a fun flip-book. Name of CD is "menomena's first album" mixed up. makes me laugh. Although actually, I downloaded this CD randomly after reading a decent review, and if I hadn't downloaded it, I'd never have bought it, so once again - justified!I still have *Letting Up Despite Great Faults* coming in next week, so that's when I'll drag down my Mog shit and lay it out in the store. I haven't been posting very much lately, but I'm so bored at work that it's pretty safe to assume I'll make up for it magically, all in one day (today).
