I don’t go music shopping very often. It’s just too tempting. There is so much music I don’t have (or used to have) & want, so music shopping for myself usually only happens when I’m music shopping for someone else. That’s a self-imposed limitation – otherwise I’d be liable to send us to the poorhouse with uncontrolled spending. Well, it’s Xmas shopping time and sure enough: yeehaw! My niece has a Beatles CD for her birthday (Help!), Hubby has a few jazz CD’s stashed away (ssshhhh! secret!), and I have a nice used copy of Seven Worlds Collide for myself. It’s a shame Neil Finn gets such short shrift here in the States – his two solo albums* are the only two CDs of ‘new’ music I’ve fully enjoyed in the last ten years.
* Try Whistling This (1998) & One All (2002)
