It's Saturday evening here in the UK. Millions of shoppers have arrived home laden with 'stuff'. Some of them may be enjoying their new purchases, others may be searching for the receipt in order to exchange it tomorrow (in the UK now, Saturday and Sunday are almost interchangeable, except for car-boot sales and 'Antiques Roadshow').

So. What did you buy?

Anything you feel warrants a mention. Exotic groceries. A new car, sound system. Dog. Budgie. Hat.

I got a new jacket. Been wearing the last one for 5 years now and I started a new job a few weeks back.

Hope you can all contribute.

cheers, tonym.

"Dances with Wolves" (4 DVD). Oscar Peterson double pack (live in Paris). Discs by Quincy Jones and Oliver Nelson, some Ben Webster and a never-before seen J.J. Johnson from beginning 80s.

I'm a media guy.

But, next, I will finally get those new pairs of pants I so desperately need.

I promise.

Cheers!

Well, today I bought groceries (nothing exotic) to make it through the week. Last Saturday I bought a new car (Jeep) so my spending habits may slow down a little for a while. I spend more time and money on photography and live jazz than I should. I went to see Slide Hampton last night and will see Pat Martino tomorrow B) .

Got a new pair of sunglasses in Santa Cruz today.

I didn't buy any CDs today, but when I got home, Jackie Mac's Right Now! and Spaceway Incorporated's Thirteen Cosmic Standards by Sun Ra & Funkadelic were waiting for me in the mail box! :tup

Now you can listen to 'Poor Eric.' One of the best tunes from the new RVGs, in my opinion.

If I don't buy coffee filters tomorrow, there's gonna be one grumpy moose around these parts... <_<

Thanks for the heads up. I'm headed back to Alviso in a few days. Wouldn't want to encounter any angry mooses.

Pre-ordered the Jazz Oracle three cd "Complete Red Heads" and the Jerry Garcia box set from cduniverse.

Lotsa dollars out of my mad money budget to come! ;)

"Poor Eric" has been a great favorite of mine ever since I picked up the McLean Mosaic--I'm sure it sounds even better on the new RVG.

A local CD store has been having a jazz blow-out sale, so I picked up a few Fantasy titles yesterday (still living in fear of what will happen to the catalogue once the company finds a buyer):

Blue Mitchell, BIG SIX

Roy Haynes, WE THREE

Coleman Hawkins, THE HAWK FLIES HIGH

Mark Murphy, THAT'S HOW I LOVE THE BLUES

Today I finally broke down and ordered Cecil Taylor's Feel Trio - 2 Ts For A Lovely T. I already know how good it is. I finished my taxes (owed $2600), paid the pressing plant bill ($1900) and said WTF. :lol:

It seems I can never go CD shopping and purchase only one disk. Not a chance.

I bought these two this weekend.

The Blakey, Night in Tunisia, is the one that lists a fake name, in place of Jackie McLean's, on the outer cover.
