So I got some CDs.<\/p>\n

I’d kind of hoped to get some jazz CDs, but the sections in their small music offerings were not clearly labeled, and I think the jazz was mixed in with the pop. And although this is not a proper Musical Balance post, it does kind of track with the metal and songbirds bit.<\/p>\n
I got:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Drops of Jupiter<\/em> by Train.<\/li>\n
- All My Tomorrows<\/em> by Grover Washington, Jr. I have a lot of his records on vinyl; this is my first CD.<\/li>\n
- “The End of Heartache” by Killswitch Engage. The joke’s on me; this is a single from the Resident Evil: Apocalypse<\/em> soundtrack, but it was priced like a full album.<\/li>\n
- The Lightness of Being<\/em>, a 3 disc set of ambient lounge and chill out tracks. Only two of the CDs ripped. I hope the first did not install malware.<\/li>\n
- Two old Pink Floyd albums, Obscured by Clouds<\/em> and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn<\/em> from their early Syd Barrett bluesy acid sound days before their big success working out Roger Waters’ daddy issues.<\/li>\n
- Four Chords and Seven Years Ago<\/em> by Huey Lewis and the News. A later album which I hadn’t gotten around to getting.<\/li>\n
- Three by Diana Krall: All For You<\/em>, Love Scenes<\/em>, and The Girl in the Other Room<\/em>. I think I have a crush on Mrs. Costello.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The ten CDs\/sets ran $49.62, leaving me with 38 cents on the gift card which I might never use.<\/p>\n
It was only after I finger-walked through the CDs that I saw the cheap records in bins below a new record display. It’s just as well, though; I haven’t listened to all the records I got at the book sale in April yet.<\/p>\n
So I have already listened to the Pink Floyd albums and part of the Krall collection, but I’m still mostly streaming WSIE at the desk. So maybe I shouldn’t run out and buy stacks of CDs any more. Although Tokyo Groove Jyoshi has a new album coming out next week….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
“I have eclectic music tastes. And a gift card to use.” On Wednesday, as part of our comebackation, we ran some errands. Basically, the youngest needed new shoes, and the Entertainmart is just down the road a couple of shopping centers.
