[#35] Impulsive late night buys.
For the past month I've been searching for a song I’ve been listening to on 89X for the past ten years, but have only recently taken any notice to. I searched for the lyrics I could remember, I tried searching the 89X Time Warp archives for a song title that sounded vaguely right. I even tried listening to last.fm bands that started with the number “24” in hopes I could find the band. All my searching was in vain, of course, because the band was an obscure 90s shoegaze/dream pop band from Canada that only released one record and that no one besides a few thousand people in Canada has ever heard of.* On Thursday I finally learnt the band name - 24 Gone - and the song title - Girl Of Colours.
That information didn’t get me far, however, and I soon discovered that apart from two live videos of them on youtube, 24 Gone wasn’t anywhere to be found on the internet. Despite that, I quickly became enthralled with the two lone songs I had actually found and went on a search for their album. The only place I could find the Spin was on ebay, on which I just bought it for a total of $11.00. What can I say? Ebay and late night blogging doesn’t mix too well with me. I am far too impulsive.
*They have a total of 1,560 plays scrobbled on last.fm. That’s just pathetic.
