Record Excitement!

Let this weekend be to working hard and gettin' stuff done!

Though I haven't been to a very good start... I just spent $35 on records this morning (Shoot!). Through they are fantastic records. I got the Supremes, which is a guilty pleasure of mine, as well as the Marvelettes. I have such a strange fascination with girl groups from the late 50s to early 60s... They are so good, but they all talk about the same things in their songs, which is sex/boyfriends. I guess it's amusing how many different innuendos they use to say, 'hey, we're doing it tonight!' Oh, I just wonder how it was like being a girl during those days...

Then I got some down home country/folk stuff. Two records from Smithsonian Folkways, which is a fantastic record label/institution. They really know their stuff, so it's something I can trust -- I know that whatever record I end up getting, it'll be interesting/good. I already have compilation by them, and I bought an Elizabeth Cotten record for my sister. Also, a best of Hank Williams, who is my most favorite country singer, well ok, that's not completely true...

I fell in love with a song from the McDonald's commercial over the summer... cheesy, I know. So I picked up the "Best of Os Mutantes," which I am listening to right now. They are from Brazil, but surprisingly, they dabble in a variety of genres from Bossa Nova to Psychedelic Rock and languages. It's very interesting, and they do it in a tasteful way, so I'm excited!!!!!



So off to working now. Until I can write again!
