If I had a lot more money I would spend a lot more money on music and given how much money I spend on music, that would be, well, lots and lots of money.
But I don't so I don't but every now and then Amazon will get in touch and offer $5 downloads and every now and then I will add to my collection…
She And Him Vol 2 – I liked Vol 1 fine though not super fine but they were a bore live (Zooey's voice was acting up) and the songs I'd bought off Vol 2 were up to nothing much. Let's be honest, the novelty has worn off. Grade: B-
Pet Sounds – The Beach Boys – I have a 4 CD set (the vocals only are incredible -my respect for carl Wilson has never been higher) but listening to some Wilson before the concert last month I realized I was missing the actual album proper! I know Pet Sounds like the back of my hand so I wasn't gonna bother replacing it. But for the price of a big mac? Grade: A+
Codes And Keys – Death Cab For Cuties – What a terrible album, not half as good as Narrow Stairs. Not worth $12 but for five bucks, the last one was sooooo good. Grade: C+
Euphoric Heartbreak – Glasvegas – Britrock ala the Verve et al. Overblown but not the worst thing I've ever heard. Grade: B
