they hooked me. first off - what i got at the record store (as promised, plus a cool find):

Utada - Exodus
Hope of the States - The Lost Riots
Super Furry Animals - Phantom Phorce (limited edition that includes the Slow Life ep - and one of the coolest packaging i've ever seen)

then i get to the register. the cashier knows me from going there so much. as she's about to scan my cd's she asks me why i didn't get any white tag cd's. they're having a 25% off full priced cd's. but then she told me it was on until monday. yay :) here's the Archambault sale: 25% off white tag cd's, 15% off instruments, tab books, and dvd's. everytime i'm there, today included, i always look at their Criterion section, but they're a bit overpriced compared to what i can get online. but with 15% off you know i'm going back for a Criterion or two :P

i got Utada's Exodus because of Timbaland. whoa!! i'm looking up info on her discography .. i gotta find a used Rush Hour 2 soundtrack!! she did one song on it, featuring Foxy Brown, and it was done by the Neptunes... :) funny, the cashier at the store asked me what Utada sounded like. i had no idea other than a generic response of 'j-pop'. but after a couple of songs i thought, maybe Madonna would be a start. sure enough, her first single "Devil Inside" features remixes by Richard Vission, one of the two main remixers for the Music-era singles. btw, the Utada album cover doesn't really help that much in distinguishing her as an artist. hey, throw in a bit of Tori too, i guess (on the last song).

ps. what the hell was this about? it looks like Bush is being taken away in handcuffs :P
btw, wasn't it spectacular to see Bush go off and cut off Charlie Gibson last night? ha. i couldn't believe it. hopefully it makes it into the post-debate spin. the word petulant has never had anyone as perfect as this monkey. amazing. americans, are you paying attention?

np: Utada - Exodus
