I don't believe in God or the Devil.

I love the Library. Today I got a pretty random sampling of shit:
Johnny Cash : American Recordings (Vol.1)
Velvet Underground and Nico
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Ali Farka Toure - The Source
and
20 to Life: Prison Blues. Songs From the Angola Penitentiary
It's the second time I've owned Velvet Underground and Nick Drake. All of the other stuff should be interesting to say the least.
