The sweet, sweet sounds
I was unsuccessful in my mission to get the new Hawksley Workman CD today. (Okay, yesterday, since it's technically tomorrow already.) There must have been some issue shipping them or something; no one has them. I talked to the guy at CD Plus though and he'd thought it was in March, but upon checking the computer discovered I was right about the release date but they hadn't gotten any, so he ordered some. :D I'm not too broken up, though, b/c he ALSO told me that HW is playing here soon! Wheeeeeeeee! The info's in the indie paper, which I haven't read this week's issue of yet so he showed me where the ad was and I took the paper with me. OMG it was so cute - he was bouncing up and down trying to balance on one leg whilst using the other as a prop for the open paper. I almost said something about the counter being right there but it was fun to watch. :D Actually, he was cute and wee and had Dave Grohl-ish messy long hair and I was rather kicking myself later for not flirting harder. I'se out of practice, and the bouncing kinda threw me off LOL. Anyway, the concert is on March 10, 2 days before Rob, tix are $25 and good seats are still available. More than I'd like, but the Cohn is usually $25-40 so I was expecting it when he told me where it would be. SOEXCITEDOMGZ. Damn but March is going to be hella busy for me. *grins* I need to find something to do the last weekend, b/c the other 3 have gotten pretty fucking crammed!
I did, however, not leave empty-handed. The City and Colour CD was on the 2/$25 deal and I didn't see anything else I wanted right away, but while NotDave was bouncing I saw Black Rebel Motorcycle Club so I got them both. I don't even know that much BRMC: one song (that I adore), which is on this CD. Between that and how much koneko41 enthused over them, and the fact that anything I've listened to that she loves I've at least enjoyed if not fallen head-over-heels for, it seemed a safe bet! C&C is the side project for Dallas Green, the singer for Alexison Fire - the one who actually sings, not the screamer, lol. It also has possibly the coolest liner notes/art *ever*. They were all done by a tattoo artist based in Toronto, Scott McEwan. (I was going to link to his site, but it appears to be down.) Will post some songs when I've had a chance to listen. Well, maybe not from the BRMC; it's a Sony release and I'm very leery of ripping anything from them after that whole rootkit/spyware debacle. :-/ But C&C for sure. :)
Erm, I also came home with a Green Day poster. This one. Which everyone and their kid sister has, which is why they were six bucks, lol. I can't help but think of what rainjewel said about Mike every time I look at it, though. xD I was trying to think of what the last band poster I bought was, and I came up against a total wall. I don't think I EVER bought a band poster!!! I had lots of magazine pullouts and a Duran Duran calendar (stfu) but my actual posters were mostly unicorns or dance-related. Wow, that is a weeeeeeird revelation. I rarely even had movie posters. The one exception was the absolutely *massive* black and white one of Brandon Lee as the Crow that served as a headboard in the apt. in Toronto while I was at uni, lol. The last poster I bought period was of Big Sur, in that little art gallery somewhere off the Pacific Coast Highway in California that I was telling luthien123 about.
Hmm, can't remember what else I wanted to post about. Once again, I was sidetracked by the music. *facepalm* It's both sad and amusing that my friends and I agree that the most likely reason I'll ever go to Ontario to visit my family? Is because there'll be a concert I want to see. *sporfles, somewhat embarassedly*
OH! *squidges* to angie_aiken and oneandonlytrey. Welcome to my insanity. :D *squidges the_fink for fetching me last night while she's at it*
