I don&#8217;t normally do live albums, but it is Sade we&#8217;re talking about.<\/li>\n<li>Two albums by Static-X, <em>Shadow Zone<\/em> and <em>Beneath&#8230;Between&#8230;Beyond&#8230;<\/em>.  I&#8217;d never heard of the band, so I hope I like them.<\/li>\n<li>Two discs by Katharine McPhee, <em>Katharine McPhee<\/em> and the single <em>Somewhere Over the Rainbow\/My Destiny<\/em>.  Based on the title of the latter, I thought she was a standards\/jazz act, but apparently she&#8217;s a poppy former American Idol participant.  So those of you who had Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood in the pool First American Idol Act Brian Owns, I&#8217;m afraid you&#8217;ve lost.<\/li>\n<li>Taylor Dayne&#8217;s <em>Soul Dancing<\/em>.  I can&#8217;t believe I didn&#8217;t already own this; I bought the CD just to make sure.<\/li>\n<li>Pamyua, a band making music out of traditional Inuit music.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I got some books, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One of David Letterman&#8217;s Top Ten List collections.<\/li>\n<li><em>Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><em>Avalanche<\/em>, a love story(?) set in World War II.<\/li>\n<li><em> The Essential Luther<\/em>, a collection of Martin Luther&#8217;s lectures.  A short collection.<\/li>\n<li><em>Mission to the Cherokees<\/em>, a history of a mission serving the Cherokee nation.<\/li>\n<li>Several picture books, including <em>New York: City of Many Dreams<\/em> by Bill Harris (different, I hope, than <a href=\"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/2007\/11\/23\/book-report-new-york-at-night-by-bill-harris-1983-1985\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>New York At Night<\/em><\/a>), <em>Colourful England<\/em>, <em>Holland in Pictures<\/em>, and something about Chichen Itza.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, I picked up two films: Douglas Fairbanks in <em>The Man in the Iron Mask<\/em>, a silent film, and <em>Black Dog<\/em>, a film starring Patrick Swayze, Meat Loaf, and Randy Travis and depicting a semi on the cover.  Of course, I had to watch that one immediately, and it is everything you could want from a film with Patrick Swayze, Meat Loaf, Randy Travis, and big rigs.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ve gotten some light football season reading\/viewing and a very short bit of Luther which I&#8217;ll probably pick up when I put down this short bit of Kierkegaard I&#8217;m gutting through.  Not bad for something less than $20 that I paid $20 for.<\/p>\n<p>I went back on Saturday to pick up a collection of radio programs I&#8217;d bypassed but decided to get since my son has declared himself a collector of Green Hornet comics.  I ended up buying a bunch of craft project material, the aforementioned collection of radio programs, and a single book, <em>Hemingway&#8217;s Spain<\/em> which is also a picture book but has a Hemingway tie-in, so it&#8217;s like a heady picture book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, I went to the Lutherans for Life rummage sale at Trinity Lutheran Church.
