I've been working in this office for over 4 months now and found out this morning that there is a CD Cellar almost touching my office building, needless to say I am totally ecstatic. On my lunch break I managed to pick up Janis Joplin- I Got Dem Ol' Kosmic Blues Again Mama! (for the second time, some fortunate soul has my first copy, and may I telk you around here at least that album is nearly impossible to find) and off of a recommendation from a fellow Mogger I can't quite remember at the moment, Alejandro Escovado- The Boxing Mirror. I think I need to give that album a few more spins, I really like track 2 Dearhead On The Wall, the strings on that track really stand out in my head and track 10 Take Your Place, I was put in a trance by the way all the instumental parts played with each other, such a steady well used marchy drum beat. Escavado's voice reminds me alot of Bowie at times and Tom petty at others. On first listen it was 50/50 some of the songs I really liked others not so much.

My Trusted MOGs
One of the few things I miss about the daily go-to-the-office grind is lunch-hour CD shopping, which always helped to restore the sanity. Good finds, and happy hunting in the future!
