30 Days: Day 8

While driving around trying to think of new adventures to have on a small scale (which is getting really hard after only 7 days! Suggestions?), I stopped into RamaLama Records to pick up some new tunes. This is something brand new for me, consulting the music geek and buying one of his reccomendations.

First up, Detrola, His Name is Alive. He pops it in the CD changer and so far so cross between Air and Carole King. I dig it. Next up, I ask about Rabbit Fur Coat, the new Jenny Lewis solo album, hoping to break the rules by buying a CD by someone I know and love. He hadn't heard it yet though, so after all, I wasn't allowed to cheat. His final reccomendation was the Imogene Heap solo album, "the female axis of Frou Frou," which I love and, alas, already know.

In the end, I bought the Detrola album and I'm quite happy with it. And, true to the music geek's word, it's all over the place so that each song has a completely different feel. Obviously there's notes of Air and Carole King, hints of classic country, some big orchestra numbers, and chicks singing la la la. Yes. Dig, baby.
