Let's go CD shopping
All New Zealand, all the time this afternoon. No big surprises here, but you know, if you're feeling generous:
Liam Finn - I'll Be Lightning
Can you believe I haven't flown my lazy ass to New Zealand already just to purchase this? I was holding out hope that it might be available for sale at the show. Live at Spaceland was (and I bought it), but this was not because it's technically not out in the U.S. until January. Meh, I've had to import every other release from the man, why should this be any different? By the by, I promise to post pictures of the autographed album when I get around to it.
Eagle Vs. Shark - Original Soundtrack
It's a Phoenix Foundation album masquerading as a soundtrack! (No, still haven't gotten around to seeing the movie. Pfft.) Oh yeah, and there are a couple of tracks by other folks as well (reminiscent of the Man on the Moon
The Phoenix Foundation - Pegasus
Ooh, speaking of The Phoenix Foundation, why do I not own this? This is the opposite of a new album. Some months ago when they did a brief U.S. tour, I sent Matt to see them do an in-store at Amoeba. He was kind enough to get Samuel Flynn Scott and Luke Buda's solo albums for me (directly from the men themselves and autographed to me, Annie!), but alas, they had no copies of Pegasus on them. Jerks. (Ok, not actual jerks but you know.)
Fur Patrol - The Long Distance Runner EP
It has been far too long since we've had anything new from Fur Patrol. Looks like they are still "putting the finishing touches" on their third album (a phrase which means little to nothing to me after years of following many bands who takes years and years and years to get anything out). Anyway, this is the new EP which they released a few months ago, so yay, positive signs!
So that's that. To import all three direct from NZ (including shipping), it should leave you short about $100, but you'll have excellent gift-giving karma. Oh, or you could buy them for yourselves, I suppose.
