Bought two just last week: “Forgiveness Rock Record” by Broken Social Scene. Awesome, their best since “You Forgot it in People.” “Together” by The New Pornographers. Also, very good, but gets somewhat weak in its second half. ---

Beethoven: String Quartets #1 and #2. Ordered it around the first part of May. I’ve got a prime membership to Amazon and I buy a lot of Naxos classical CDs. They’re often as cheap as the music download at $7.99 For classical music, I’d rather buy the CD if the price is within a dollar or so of the download price. ---

I was at a flea market earlier today and bought two CD’s for five dollars: Elvis Presley’s _#1 Hits_ and Dido’s _No Angel_. I also came very close to buying an LP: _Mike Nichols & Elaine May Examine Doctors_. It was a really good price but I finally decided it was pointless to buy an LP when I don’t have a turntable set up and no plans to do so. ---

You totally Beyoncé-rolled him! 😃 I think the last one we bought was [Colin James, “Rooftops and Satellites.”](http://www.colinjames.com/?page_id=146) It’s solid, but not great. I think we got it at the same time as [Pink’s “Funhouse,”](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funhouse_(Pink_album)) which I’m totally enjoying. ---

It was late when I saw it, and it really messed with my head, man. BTW, it’s fun having a permanent record that the power-metal dude listens to Beyoncé. Not quite a, “Hal with a sheep” moment, but I’m enjoying it nonetheless. "If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it. . . " 😃 ETA: My last CD purchased: About five years back, I bought Robert Randolph’s, “Live at the Wetlands” CD. Great purchase. ---

Guess I’ll be dating myself here. Fleetwood Mac’s mid-period _Kiln House_ and _Future Games_. Danny Kirwan was an overlooked genius, IMO. ---

[Matthew Good](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Good) - _Vancouver_ last month. He’s been one of my favorite performers since the mid-nineties. I was a little slow in picking this one up, but I’m glad I did. Before that, it would probably be Glen Phillips - Secrets of the New Explorers (late last year sometime). ---
