Woooooo first comment. Being up this early does have it’s advantages.
Last album I bought was The Old Soul (band from Toronto) although I’m going to pick up the Sweet/Hoffs album sometime this week.
Keep up the good work and thanks.

I bought the High Dials “Wars of the Wakening Phantoms” at the Neko Case show (they opened). It was my first time talking to a band after a set and they were really cool kids.

The last one I bought overall was something “The It Girl” by a band called Sleeper, which I found for 50¢ at a thrift store and thought it looked interesting, but I haven’t listened to it yet. The last I bought new were the two in-print Heligoats CD’s, at the Indie Coffee show.

I picked up Why? “Elephant Eyelashes” after their set on Saturday night. I have only listened to it once, but it is intriguing. And in an hour or so I will have “A Blessing and a Curse” unless B-Side is out. So I guess I should withdraw my name from contention, shouldn’t I?
