I've been on a bit of a music-buying spree lately while I'm able to. A journey across the suburb to the ever-friendly Mickster at Off The Hip netted me a couple of stickers for the new laptop (see above), along with the new Mink Jaguar and Radio Birdman releases on CD, while on vinyl I came out with Brian Hooper's Lemon Lime and Bitter and a Spencer P. Jones compilation thingy. All good stuff, but that's not all! A couple of journeys into Polyester to fetch things for acb netted me another Richard Hawley album (Long Black Train's a stunning track. Honest.), a very nice Conway Savage album (Nothing Broken - earlier than the other ones I have, I think) and the re-released Born Sandy Devotional by the Triffids. The Handsome Family have a new album called The Last Days of Wonder out, containing plenty more odd humour. Their website mentions a possible Feb. 2007 Australian tour (they were great last time). Today I broke down and bought jPod along with another couple of books of Bukowski's poetry to provide plenty of tram-reading pleasure. That oughta do.
