must! buy! music!

My recent bender continued at CD Spins on Newbury St. this weekend. More in keeping with my usual habits, I managed to pick out 5 used cds for $30. The highlights were definitely the Rodan cd (Rusty, their only album, which I've been looking for for a while), and June of 44's Tropics and Meridians, which is in a similar vein (not surprisingly).

Jungle Jim - Rodan (Rusty)
June Leaf - June of 44 (Tropics and Meridians)

I also came across the second cd from Creeper Lagoon, which on first listen is pretty similar to, if a little less adventurous than (i.e. more radio-friendly, i.e. crappier than) their first album. Nonetheless a decent find for $6, and for the special place they hold in my heart from years ago.

Chance of a Lifetime - Creeper Lagoon (Take Back the Universe and Give Me Yesterday)

Then I found a single called Bang the Drum by Railroad Jerk, a mid-90s Matador band. I had one cassette of theirs in high school, and one track of theirs appears on the What's Up Matador compilation that I have. I'm no big fan or anything, but I had to buy it just to hear this cover.

Why Don't We Do It In The Road - Railroad Jerk

To top it off, my order from Dischord - Fugazi, The Argument cd and Furniture 7" - was waiting for me in the mailbox when I got back Monday morning. I feel like Cookie Monster these days. MUUUUUZIIIIIC!!! RA RA RA RA RA!!!!!

I promise more computer-web-music related stuff, as soon as I find the time. Preview: Musicast is asking for money, but still works great. Streampad is busted, but there are other options I hope to try out soon.
