I don't have anything interesting to say, so instead let me show you what I bought
Hunters and Collectors, godspeed you! black emperor and the Cramps. It's money I can ill afford this month, but well worth it, and who needs groceries anyway? I hadn't heard this Hunters and Collectors record before, and it's different from the ones I have, more. . . produced. And with backup singers. Weird.
I only stopped in at Wuxtry because I had 20 minutes to wait for the bus. When I found three things to buy in less than five minutes I knew I had to get the hell out of there. This is why I don't go there every week; I'd be safer from temptation in a yarn store.

if you like godspeed, have you heard bell orchestre? they're somewhat similar sounding, and also from montreal - 'siblings' of the arcade fire if you will (my friend richard, as well as sarah and pietro play in both bands). they just put out their cd - and shelagh rogers played it on sounds like canada (please tell me the cbc is something you miss now that your in the states) yesterday morning.

Godspeed related - have you listened to their Esmerine offshoot ?

Yes, record stores are killer. Try taking a visiting friend to a tour of all the record stores in the area and trying not to spend money!
I heard Arcade Fire for the first time yesterday (responding to Jae's comment) and thought they sounded like The Flaming Lips.
Does CBC offer a webfeed like BBC and RUV do?

I hadn't heard "Hunters and Collectors" mentioned in probably 20 years... Wow, brought back memories. I saw them here in Austin in about 1986. It was just a little dive of a place, but I loved them. Interesting. Thanks for the memory!
