What is up. Abbalicious, I mean, Mamma Mia! was in town, so we sold a few Abba titles, as well as the Mamma Mia cast recording last week. No doubt it got a standing ovation from the Morrison Center crowd, because they give a standing O to everything that crosses that stage. I suppose if I spent 100 bucks for some off Broadway touring company production I would probably want to pretend I got my moneys worth…..dios malos were in store yesterday, and played an instore concert for an appreciative crowd. They were really good, and we rolled some product out the door for them. If you haven’t heard them, beg or borrow a copy from someone, especially if you are prone to like vaguely Radioheadish pop, with a little Ben Folds and post shoegaze pop thrown in……..The staff is nuts about the new My Morning Jacket cd, and have been giving it much love in the store. Justin P. says that it has one of his top ten R&R screams on it. Great songwriting this time, honestly, I never heard it before, but I’m hearing this new one in a big way….A couple of cuts on that new Lucero are real asskickers, and I mean that in the most complimentary ways. They are playing next door tonight, and I am going to miss it thanks to a prior engagement….I don’t think Death Cab are going away anytime soon….And that is all for this week.


dios malos playing at the Record Exchange 19 October 2005

dios Malos are ready to go. They have set up their incredible amount of equipment and are ready to make this instore happen, so you need to get down here. It promises to be memorable.

We generated some healthy numbers last week, which is why I decided to expand the top 79 to 89, just for fun. You might notice Deana Carter made an appearance on our top sellers. Here is why: a Deana Carter fan called up to ask how many of her latest cd we had in stock. I tracked down all we had and held them for her, and she showed up about an hour later to buy them. I asked her why she needed so many, and she said she was going to the Deana Carter instore appearance that evening (at a megaretailer who shall remain faceless) and she didn’t want to buy the product there. I didn’t ask her why she needed so many, though. Perhaps she was going to sell them to the other people in line. So, thanks to Deana Carter for a successful instore appearance.

The Frames are ready to play, all footpedals are set up, drums, vocals checked. All we need is you fans to come down and complete the picture. This band never does in-stores, and we are very fortunate to have them here.

Now I have to go watch them. I will post some more photos partway through the show.
