orangerfulI managed to snag a bunch of random stuff while in Portland, ME and Boston, MA this week. I had a big list of CDs to look for from bands that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lostacanthus had put on her HUGE mix that she gave me earlier this year, plus a few other random people I wanted to hear more from. I managed to find one CD by every band I wanted for under $10 each. So, faeriesfolly, we have a LOT of listening material for our drive to Atlanta (OMG 16 days to go!!!!!!)
So here's what I managed to pick up:
Mae - Singularity
The Hush Sound - Goodbye Blues
The Fratellis - Costello Music
Regina Spektor - Soviet Kitsch
Belle & Sebastian - Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant
A Fine Frenzy - One Cell in the Sea
Kate Nash - Made of Bricks
Ingrid Michaelson - Be Ok
Along with that, I picked up a few comics because it is a tradition at this point. I picked up the 3rd Volume of Runaways in hardcover, and managed to get the rest of the issues of Buffy Season 8 w/ Jo Chen covers, except for #24 - so if you happen to see that one in your local comic shop, let me know (actually, I need to check my OWN local comic shop). Did two impulse purchaes of books I had been wanting to read - the first trade in Terry Moore's ECHO series "Moon Lake" was on display by the check-out desk so I snagged it, plus I grabbed 'Too Cool To Be Forgotten' by Alex Robinson, which I read on the plane last night and LOVED.
Oh, and I picked up a button at Newbury comics that says "I was Uncool before Uncool was Cool".
They had the Fangtasia shirt there, but I resisted buying it. Seemed sorta small. Plus, now I have my Merlotte's shirt and I just ordered a new pair of black shorts from Kohl's so my True Blood outfit is ready to go.
