Bad Thoughts

My computer died early this month, so I'm a little foggy about what I purchased. I think this is right (give an album or two).

eMusic
Alabama Slim and Little Freddie King, The Great Flood **** (great songs, gets a little samey)
La po

Konntinent - If I Could Buy A Map of Hope Vol 2
1000 hours of staring - Cantankerous Seagull
Various Artists - One Minute For the Sun (This one actually frustrated me - I like the music but one minute is short enough to leave me feeling like I'm listening to samples).

Deaf Center - Live in Moscow

My January was a good month. Added a lot of post punk I've been wanting as well as some more Lee "Scratch" Perry and my first Dengue Fever album. I'm pretty indifferent on the new Decemberists album, but I think that's just because they focused more on their American folk roots on this album, and that's not where my tastes have been laying recently. Still a fine album, though.

First Dengue Fever? Wow. You must hear March Of The Balloon Animals from the Sleepwalking Through The Mekong album - it is one of the weirdest greatest instrumentals I've ever heard. Enjoy.
There was a thread somewhere once that asked what was your favorite discovery on eMusic that you might have never heard otherwise, and Dengue Fever would be a good answer for me (if I had to somehow narrow such a thing down to one).
