Albums I bought in 2009 #1
- Hunky Dory – David Bowie
The song Life on Mars? has possessed me. Sent from the devil, it’s already convinced me to get copies of 3 seasons of the eponymous TV show (2xUK, 1xUS) and now to pay $18 to Apple for the album.- Diamond Dogs – David Bowie
JB didn’t have Hunky Dory, but it did have Diamond Dogs for under $10. Which was the price I wanted to pay for Hunky Dory.- Never for Ever – Kate Bush
I always promise myself that I’ll buy more Kate Bush, and I never get around to it.- Lethal Weapons – Various Artists
It has three rare Boys Next Door tracks. I thought I already had These Boots Are Made for Walking, but it turns out I’ve got some OTHER version they did. Score!- Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space – Spiritualized
One of the nicest things about watching an act you’ve never seen before is coming away afterwards feeling compelled to purchase their back catalogue.- Various Positions – Leonard Cohen
Needs no explanation.

Odd anthropomorphisms #2
Clyde was, and always will be, Clyde. He couldn’t possibly be anything else. Steady, solid, phlegmatic and unchanging, Clyde never promised more than he could deliver and thus he never disappointed.

Places where I wish I lived #1
Bionic Ear Lane. You can play your stereo as loud as you like, because nobody there can hear it.
