Calling a stop

[clevermanka]

OK. I must stop buying CDs. I have a tendency to spend money when I'm stressed/blue, and I love music, so what better combo than spending money on CDs? But holy crap, it's getting out of hand. This month I bought:

Chill Out Bombay

Hank Williams III first CD

Bhangra Fever

Kinky, first album

Deke's latest--The Melody

Little Rachel

SCOTS Mojo Box

Propellerheads Decksanddrumsandrockandroll
then today

Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi

Cigar Store Indians first CD

Sun Kings box set

Big Barn Combo

That's crazy. Crazy.

Now, granted, four of those are ones I'm finally replacing after splitting up the CDs with 0verdrive. But still. Crazy. I don't have this money to spend. And yet...when I put in a new CD, or a CD I haven't heard for years, it makes me so happy. I'm feeling particulary pleased at the Sun Kings boxed set. I scored it used on amazon for under $6. I got it the first time free for doing promotional work for Rhino Records. I'm not sure how 0verdrive wound up with it, but I wasn't in the best place back then and he kept a lot of the rockabilly stuff that maybe I shoulda fought harder for. Oh well. Moving on.

Speaking of moving on, I should probably be moving on myself to the (admittedly small) pile of crap in my inbox...can I help it if I don't feel like doing a lick of work today?
