...Made my first foray into buying music online yesterday. My excuse being this is to celebrate the extension of my contract at school. + getting into school in September + also I haven't bought any music or gone to any shows since I got here- nearly a year ago. + also I have a pretty juicy (790$) tax return coming to me this year. So. Went on E-bay. Got a paypal account. Pointed + clicked the following over the past twenty-four hours:..."All Shook Down"- CD- Replacements. This is now my favorite 'Mats album. Surely this is because I am nearly 30 + have much better taste than when I was 17. Whatever. It ties with Mono/Stereo for the best thing Paul W has ever put out. 10$ US included shipping...."Make a Little Noise"- DVD/CD- Joel Plaskett Emergency. Jesus I can't wait to see this. The JP Emergency is the best thing to come out of Nova Scotia since Alexander Kieth's. Ripped off a bit here... at 23$ US (27$ Canadian) it came out to be ten dollars more than through the Maplemusic website. Oh well. A lesson learned. Always compare prices, even on the 'net....Staying with the JP Emergency: picked up "Ashtray Rock" CD, the new album. Bought from Maplemusic Records. 19$ Canadian included shipping...."The Last" CD- Leatherface- Except for a couple of goof-tracks, this whole thing is excellent. Reissued by BYO Records to include the Pope album. Purchased from BYO website. 16$ US includes shipping...."Instrument" DVD- Fugazi. I will finally own this. Yes I will. $17 US includes shipping.--I can see how this would be addictive. I've got a couple of bids I am waiting to hear back on in a week or so (I'm not saying on what because I don't want you to outbid me). My only complaint is the insane amount some of these outlets charge for shipping. After these go through I am going to put my credit card away. It would be almost too easy to spend another 2,3,4 hundred dollars...

  2. Kathleen says Have you got any photos of yourself in that get-up? Jesus, I hope not. I heard some of the new Joel Plaskett (on the good ol' CBC). I've never been a huge fan, but it sounded pretty good. You will be overwhelmed with music when you get back, Matt, no need for spending your savings on e-bay. I've yet to do the e-bay thing; I just look at all the stuff and threaten myself with it. Well, threaten my terribly wealthy husband's credit card (you don't think I'd be stupid enough to get one of those things in my own name, do you?).

  3. Kathleen says Aha! You're just trying to get more likes with that photo (surprised it hasn't worked, actually). Mike wants to know, was it a cyst, or a boil? (???) Signed, your first like.
