amazon arrives
Well every now and then i break down and buy a record.. and like anything from amazon I tend to pick up a few more books to boot. More biz books? Yep. Mikey will have to see about reading them as well.
Ok so on to the loot.
First up, I Find You Very Attractive, not sure how I found this cd. I stumbled across it looking for good funky retro lounge tunes no doubt, and so far this cd is great. Excellent Vann Swann groovin in his Mini Cooper music. Look for choice cuts off this cd on Vann Swann's next compilation! Next up we have Kish Kash from Basement Jaxx. Now usually the Jaxx kids are a little too happy house for me, but after a listen online it seemed pretty decent so I'll give it a whirl. Long overdue for purchasing is Kinky. Its a toss up between SomaFm and Gator Dave on who exposed me to them first. But if I like an artist enough i'll buy them. Kinky is excellent stuff and can be heard on multiple tv series intros (nip and tuck used it a few times, i think csi and alais featured thier tracks as well), car commericals, and of course the Honda Hybrid Garage piece.
In a shift of sounds we go to Emiliana Torrini. I was looking for something a little smooth possibily dark but full of vocal goodnness. I love a good female vocal. So I'm giving her a try after what I heard on amazon. Kinda reminds me a bit of Perfume Tree a cd I will always associate with deep dark depression yet hopeful. Wrapping up our cd loot is Crystal Method's new cd. I wanted to see how the sound was changing for them. I look foward to big beats.
On the book side I picked up BANG a book on advertising probably one of my favorite biz book obsessions. I have a love hate relationship with marketing. This will be another book to add to my collection. But hey yer in video.. ya.. well. Along the same lines as the Tipping Point, an excellent read btw I picked up The Influentials. Whew more books, ok now I have to finish Pattern Recognition, ReeferMadness, Digital Fortress and Da Vinci Code...
Ok rounding out the list I also got the last disc of the first Vandread animation series. A hilarious series btw, highly reccomended!! Again if the animation proves promising I'll pick it up.. Witch Hunter Robin is another example of a possible worthy series. Ok that wraps it up! Well i am waiting on one last thing...
