I asked for Hooverphonic, Jem, The Cardigans, Tori Amos, but they were all not on sale there. So I looked at the JPOP CDs for Utada, but Keep Tryin' only arrives next month. Then I asked for Ultimate Kylie. The lady said only RM32 and I was shocked. I quickly said yes and she went to another shelf to get a copy. I followed her and saw the CD. Then I told her I want it. As she walked to the counter, I saw a CD stood out from the others because of the bright fuchsia side. The CDs were all sideways by the way. I looked closer and... "AUNTY, STOP! I WANT THIS ONE! THIS ONE!" I guess I did embarrass my brother a little, thank god no customers were there. So I paid for it but it cost me RM42, because it was imported. There you have it...

Good buy!
My last few purchases:
CD: Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um
Because: It's probably the best bop album ever made on this world. Incredibly brilliant, breathtaking stuff. Was going to buy it earlier already but then picked up Pre-Bird because they didn't have Mingus Ah Um over at the store where I went. Did find it now, so immediately bought it.
CD: Sigur Rós - Hoppipolla
Because: It's just a CD-single, but since I'm very fond of getting band's entire discographies, I thought it'd be nice to have it. And it is nice to have it, of course. Good stuff.
CD: David Bowie - Hunky Dory
Because: It's early David Bowie, which normally equals good Bowie. Especially so in the case of Hunky Dory, which features brilliant songs such as Queen ***** and Life On Mars. Great album.
CD: Joanna Newsom - The Milk-Eyed Mender
Because: I already had this one, but it was only €4 and because it's so good I thought I'd just pick it up so I can give it someone else or whatever. It's so brilliant, I just couldn't leave it there among all the crappy discount albums.
