Yesterday the mailman didn't deliver an album to me, but since it's a music DVD I guess it also deserves a mention here:
The Work Of Director Michel Gondry
This one includes videos by Björk (Human Behavior, Bachelorette and many others), White Stripes (Fell In Love With A Girl, The Hardest Button To Button and some others), Daft Punk (Around The World), Kylie Minogue (Come Into My World) and many others. Basically, most of the great videos of the past where you were wondering "How did the director do that?"
Love the fact that CDs are released on Mondays here in Hong Kong and we're also a day ahead of North America. Now I have to wait for 5 more hours to get home from work to listen to it.
Sufjan Stevens - 'Seven Swans'
Morrissey - 'Suedehead: The Best of Morrissey'
Scott Walker - 'The Drift'
I had bought movie tickets with friends & coworkers to see Xmen 3. Another one of their friends showed up who wanted to see it and couldn't get tickets, I donated mine since I've already watched it. HMV was right next door, so this is what happened. They were all on sale, best of all being Morrissey brand new for around US$4. Yes, I actually bought the Scott Walker album. If it's not good, I will actually punch the guy who made that thread right in the face. That's no lie.
over 30 years on and it's still my favourite Springsteen album.
Buying it then involved a major cash outlay (and persuading my mum to drive me to the city over an hour away); tonight I bought it with a click of the mouse.
bought it for hubby, but I'm sneaking a listen here and there. Really like 'Steady As She Goes'. Many songs have a vibe from other bands, such as The Beatles, Elton John, just various influences...

Had a bit of a good time at Hastings recently since a trip I was supposed to go on cancelled out on me. Brought 5 CDs that day-I've been on a serious Oingo Boingo/Danny Elfman kick lately, so I got some stuff from them:
Dead Man's Party ("Stay"......dear god, I love that song...) Dark At The End Of The Tunnel (which I am addicted to like nothing else right now... Good. Album. Very good. Yes)
and a "20th Century Masters" thing of theirs.
I also got the Nightmare Before Christmas (speaking of things I love...Danny's singing in that movie is just superb, holy cow...the guy's got an excellent voice) and Corpse Bride soundtracks, too. Good stuff all around .
