That store has a piece of my soul, as much as music does.<BR/><BR/>Music recommendations for the road:<BR/><BR/>Four Tet - Ringer EP (you think you have him pinned down, but this record...hard to believe I was impressed. Great for writing.)<BR/><BR/>The Black Angels - Directions to See A Ghost (Continues the same churning, heavy psych rock from their first record. I normally get bored with "psych rock" but I saw them open for The Black Keys, and man, do they got a sound. A 30 second sample on iTunes will tell if you dig em or not)<BR/><BR/>Oh, side thought - <BR/><BR/>I'd like to know what you think of the new Death Cab record. I've only been able to give it a background music kind of listen, but I think it's an interesting return to form. Kind of like We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes. Even though I haven't listened to it much, if that train of thought is correct, I love the move! A little more low-fi feeling. And for everyone who caught onto this band because of "I Will Follow You Into the Dark," they're going to wonder where this all came from (if I may generalize).<BR/><BR/>I'm probably off-track, but I think it's so cool that they can be like "Yeah, we do have a past, and a bunch of albums." It's kind of like good character development in a TV or book series (or kind of like life). People progress and learn and change a little bit over time, but in the end, they don't get that far from who they were when you really got a feel for who they were.<BR/><BR/>Still, I've yet to decide if this (pre-maturely labeled?) return to form is something I like. As it stands, if it ever gets that way, I think it'll be a grower.<BR/><BR/>ChrisChris Zakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456332057648204539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29943262.post-9670951750321669122008-05-17T22:41:00.000-07:002008-05-17T22:41:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Chris Zakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456332057648204539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29943262.post-35200042230605828142008-05-17T20:20:00.000-07:002008-05-17T20:20:00.000-07:00I never could understand the people who seemingly ...I never could understand the people who seemingly want to tell people about Jesus, yet all they do is spew crap from a sidewalk.

How sad. :( I really don't understand that sort of thing. I'm afraid I might have let myself get into that one as well. I might have had the same curiousity as you and probably with similar results.<BR/><BR/>Although I've never thought of it in the context of a parallel universe I have wondered what I would think of me, if I was someone else meeting me, especially the first time. I could relate to that thought, anyway.<BR/><BR/>I recognize the name of Henry Drummond, but I couldn't tell you why. Is the book worth reading? I have heard of the book "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" and have to admit it has piqued my curiousity. <BR/><BR/>I am hoping to pick up the Death Cab cd this week. I am supposed to see them a week from Monday.<BR/><BR/>I didn't realize you were into vinyl records. We probably have a closet full, though I doubt they are in mint condition. LOL I think Rubber Soul is my favorite on the list. :)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11554101659049962196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29943262.post-42491614180102691332008-05-17T12:31:00.000-07:002008-05-17T12:31:00.000-07:00The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a short but ...The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a short but good read. I read it on a flight home from Costa Rica because I had forgotten to charge my ipod. Though it is short there are some interesting points and connections made. Hope you enjoy it. :-)Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315109230142345009noreply@blogger.com
