I've covered my Monday acquisitions in another thread, but to sprinkle in some weekend purchases that just happen to fit the music theme, I acquired in digital format courtesy of Amazon.com the following recordings:
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
Massive Attack - Protection
M-Seven - Activate
Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls (just the song)
That last one popped into my brain for no apparent reason sometime Sunday evening. I hadn't heard it on the radio, hadn't seen it on television, and yet there it was bouncing around my brain. It is now featured on my "Wayback Wednesday" playlist on the iPod.

Maybe I can find something cheap to buy. I hate missing out!

I was buying a Photoshop book as a present, and while e-shopping also loaded up the cart with:
- Digital Camera
- Digital Camera holder
- 4GB SDHC card
- Bioshock
- Gears of War
Then I realize I don't need all that crap, deleted it and just bought the book.

Nothing. I've been in a lecture hall over at UW all day today, and it will continue through Thursday. And, I put Soul Calibur IV on my birthday list, so I'm not allowed to buy it until August 11th.

Almost forgot, I picked this up after reading good things about it on the bore.

I do rather like it.
That M-Seven album is pretty good, too. Downtempo, relaxing... similar to Jens Buchert or Jens Gad. Probably more Buchert than Gad, not that anyone is keeping score or knows what I'm talking about.

I'm debating about going to Wal-Mart and picking up Soul Calibur 4 or writing my paper that's kinda due tomorrow night instead. I'm leaning towards Soul Calibur.

Product Description
Celebrating the great comic book writers, culled from the pages of america's most respected comics magazine.
From the cool passion of sci-fi and occasional comics writer Harlan Ellison to the soap opera explorations and genre twisting of X-Men writer Chris Claremont and Howard the Duck creator Steve Gerber, between 1966 and 1985 a generation of writers emerged that changed the face of American comic books forever. Many were fans every bit as much as they were professionals, creative artists working from an understanding of what felt right on the comics page forged by years of close scrutiny above and beyond the final sales figures. Some were tempered by exposure to new waves in cinema, new voices in writing, and new comics from Europe and Japan. Coming to comics at a time when the financial awards were poor and the chance for ownership of what one created was even poorer, these writers breathed new life into the dying icons of the past. Writers like Len Wein, Steve Englehart, Gerry Conway, Harlan Ellison, Marv Wolfman, Denny O'Neil, Mark Evanier, Mike Baron and Alan Moore infused comics like X-Men, Captain America, and Swamp Thing with a progressive social outlook that ran directly in the face of decades of simplistic might-makes-right pseudo-moralizing. Some made their careers in other writing fields but toiled in comics out of a sense of loyalty and passion; others became comic book writers just out of their teens and never left. They were America's comic book children come home. The Comics Journal Library: The Writers celebrates the ascendancy of writer-driven mainstream comic books with a series of revealing, in-depth interviews, many conducted at the height of their influence.
