56 CD SHOPPING HEAVEN

There is an AMOEBE store on sunset boulevard. for those who have been to the store in san francisco or berkley: the LA one is even bigger! For those who haven't been there yet: amoebe is like the biggest used record store in the world. it's heaven for music lovers because you can spend hours and hours just browsing through the cd's... there are new cd, recent used cd arrivals, used cd's and bargain cd's... bargain cd's are 2,99 dollar and there are tons of them... of course a lot of cd's that i already have, which makes you want to shout 'shit, i paid 13 euro for that cd that i never listen too and it's here for 3 bucks'... i bought Les Rhytmes Digitales for 2,99 because that is just such an awesome cd and i only have a copy version.. i could have bought Groove Armada's groovebox too but hey i have that one at home...

i ended up with 25 cd's in my basket and i only 60 dollars with me so i had to make some tough decisions... i don't have money here (read elsewhere) but i just had to buy cd's... that's just typcial me i guess... sean was calling when i was in amoebe to ask how everything was going with my bank trouble and i told that i still did not get paid and do not have any money here... and his logical conclusion was: so what are you doing in a cd store!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's not a cd store it is AMOEBE

so this is my catch: Depeche Mode's new album (no violator, but there are some cool songs on it), Depeche Mode's Precious single with six remixes (one incredibly cool but monotonous electro remix), Tricky's Blowback, DJ Rap's album (soso), Ritchie Hawtin with an incredibly cool techno set, Sparta's new album only for 5 bucks, an older And You Will KNOw Us By THe Trail Of Death album for 4 bucks, tiefschwarz Eat Books and Vitalics OK Cowboy (the latter wins, although i had higher expectations of Tiefschwarz), MC Conrad's solo album (the rapper of drum n bass legend LTJ BUkem)...
i also bought Roni sizes album at tower records in Santa Monica, two bootleg Hang The Dj sets by soulwax (basically just the recording of the studio brussel show, sold here in the shops for 20 bucks but i got them in a sale), sean paul's trinity with that cool single that has different lyrics here in the us

oh well.. there were some cool used cd stores in boston and harvard but i did not have money to buy cd's there...

so music is back in my head... i am looking forward to fly back and just listen to my cd's....
