Suggestaholic!

 There was a balance remaining on an old Amazon gift certificate I received a while back, and it was burning a hole in my account. So last night I used it up.
.
I ordered the latest CD by Jim White, a guy who’s great but difficult to describe. Imagine wedging Harry Crews, Morcheeba, Daniel Lanois, and Tom Waits into a Cuisinart, then mashing the CHOP button. He’s something along those lines.
.
I also pulled the trigger on the new album by Marah, a semi-obscure band originally from Philadelphia, now Brooklyn-based. Their previous CD was a stone-cold masterpiece, and I’ve had the new one on my various want-lists since it was released. The reviews don’t seem to be as positive as they usually are with these guys, but I’ll just make up my own mind (thank you very much).
.
And finally, I ordered a used copy of Beck’s Sea Change. It’s somehow gotten past me all these years, so this one can probably be viewed as a maintenance purchase. However, I understand it’s really good, and I’m looking forward to confirming it.
.
And those are my latest purchases. As you can see, I’m still addicted to physical CDs, as opposed to downloads. That’s right, I’m gonna buy ‘em as long as they make ‘em. What of it?

This is the Suggestaholic, reporting.

Back to you, Monica.
