i actually went to montreal to do some cd-shopping on my own. it's a 90-minute drive from where i live. but the day was made for driving on the road -- it was cold but the sun was out all day. it was nice.
it started out with my biggest fear -- my store was out of practically everything on my damn list (fuckers). thank god i took down the names of two other stores that sounded good. i didn't wanna have to go look up other stores but i had to if i didn't wanna come back home with my tail between my legs.
so here's what i came out with:
luna - romantica
the shins - oh, inverted world
saint etienne - finisterre [ used ]
dannii minogue - neon nights [ used ] (wasn't on my list but it was too good to pass up)
spoon - kill the moonlight
death cab for cutie - something about airplanes / we have the facts and we're voting yes / the photo album
no richard x and no one had anything by the wrens (and no castaways and cutouts by the decemberists either, which i couldn't believe).
i'm really happy about what i got because i did end up finding the 3 death cab albums i wanted (thank fucking god. no one before that last store had anything other than transatlanticism. it wasn't looking good until i stumbled upon the whole dang collection at that last store -- le subalterne, 3603 st-denis) and i actually stuck to my list this time (minus the dannii album, but that was only $11) even though the frustrations and temptations were definitely there. not only do i have that but i'm also left with more money than i planned. with a couple of cool releases coming up this week, that's nice.
ps. oh, inverted world was the only shins album i could find in all three stores. but i saw it at hmv the other week so i'll go back tuesday and get it. another good thing about not finding every last album from my list.
