Restraint. It's an interesting word, isn't it? Some synonyms for restraint include supression and confinement, neither of those being words I am particularly fond of. Especially when applied to my record-buying habits.
Some people have drugs, I have vinyl.
I also have a clear lack of restraint when it comes to supressing my urge to add to my collection. So, in honor of my return to Richmond from SXSW, I decided to loosen the (already lax) reigns on my spending and procure a multitude of albums from a couple of my favorite suppliers. Just as a welcome home to myself.
Here's what happened the first time:
*Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
*Donovan - Donovan
*Tony Cole - If the Music Stops
*Rod Stewart - Gasoline Alley
*Orpheus - Joyful
*The Ray Charles Singers - Slices of Life
*Big Ben Banjo Band - Happy Banjos Play the Beatles
*Herman's Hermits - Herman's Hermits
*Grace Jones - Warm Leatherette
*Donovan - Slow Down World
*Robert Palmer - Secrets
*Electric Light Orchestra - El Dorada: A Symphony by the Electric Light Orchestra
*David Frye - I Am the President
And here's what happened the second time:
*Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark - Architecture & Morality
*U2 - The Unforgettable Fire
*George Jones - I Am What I Am
*Chris Isaak - Silvertone
*Glen Campbell - Burning Bridges
*Charley Pride - Sweet Country
*Various - Great Country & Western Stars
As you can see, both trips were very fruitful...
