well, i'm back.

i would love to talk about my uncle but it seems both personal and kinda hard to describe the great time we all had this weekend (it sounds weird to have fun at a funeral but we seem to manage just that everytime). so i'm gonna keep that post for another time when i feel i can better describe our weekend. (i also caught up with my dvd rentals and watched two Criterion titles (look on the right) but i'm not gonna comment much on them because they're classics and i feel they'd deserve much more time from me, and so i'd feel i'd failed them in some way. although, i can highly recommend Rififi. what an outstanding film even taken out of the place it holds in heist movie history. a superb film.)

in other news -- albums were purchased this weekend in Ottawa:

Azure Ray - Hold On Love
Peaches - Fatherfucker
Electric Six - Fire
Ludacris - Back for the First Time

these weren't my top choices but they were albums i wanted to get to down the road. also, i remembered that i got a discount card from Record Runner (hey, you can order online from them now!) the last time i was there. i checked it and yes, i only had three albums left to buy to get a free one. that's why i went.

and today was the first great day of the year for new releases (Eek-a-Mouse, Iron & Wine, Muse) and i snatched up some pretty decent cd's:

N*E*R*D - Fly or Die
Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz - Kings of Crunk (canada, 2cd)
Ludacris - Chicken -n- Beer
