After a wonderful yum cha session with a friend of mine who was down in Melbourne for the last few days, I wandered up to a CD store and bought myself a few albums of some of my favourite artists. I couldn’t actually find the ones I was looking. I ended up with Jan Jelinek’s Tierbeobachtungen although I was actually looking for Kosmischer Pitch, then Luomo’s Paper Tigers though I was looking for Vladislav Delay’s Demo(n) Tracks - they are the same artist but he operates under quite a few different names, the former also being a pseudonym. Lastly, I might have preferred Radiohead’s Hail to the Thief but found Thom Yorke’s solo album The Eraser (not a bad deal, really). Can’t complain too much.
Here’s my excuse for wanting to buy a whole bunch of CDs in the one hit - naughty me. Admittedly, it’s been ages since I bought any. I used to buy heaps all the time.
“I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.”
(from http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/1590.html)
Isn’t that a glorious quote? Sums up the way I feel when playing in groups for things…I dunno, perhaps just a very fancy way of saying that music makes me very, very happy indeed. George Eliot was onto something.
