What music did you buy today?

[JohnJ]

Miles Davis Seven Steps to Heaven box set for $20.

Great price for a great box!

Bought a used copy of the big LP sized box Thelonious Monk Complete Riverside Recordings (15 CD's).

Price was 8,000 yen which is a bit below $100.

Yeah, me too. I mean the Cleveland area has some "hotspots" but overall it can be pretty drab here (I find the Pittsburgh and Chicago areas to be the best). So today I head over to the Coventry area where there are two stores: the Record Revolution and the Exchange. RR is essentially doing away with all their cd's and focusing on records only, so they've marked all their cd's down to 50 cents a piece! Nothing really exciting there, but they did have a sealed copy of Ernie Krivda Plays Ernie Krivda on CIMP, which I bought for the tidy sum of 54 cents. Unbelievable deal, but a sad reminder of the demise of cd's too. The exchange had a copy of Horace Silver Quintet's Silver's Blue for $7, which I bought in a split-second.

Paying up for digital music is THE WORST, however, for a brilliant, independent maverick, it seems appropriate. I went for Henry Kaiser's "It's A Wonderful Life" ($5.99 emusic). Never on CD, and a great headphone experience anyway. Highly recommended.
