While I Was Gone...

I bought two cds in London at a place called Fopp, an "independent entertainment retailer" which has a great selection of used cds, books and dvds as well as some new stuff. Both are 2 disc compilations (we all know I'm a mixed tape/cd addict). There are a few bands on the one I'm listening to today, called Strange and Beautiful (which I got for 5 pounds! Woo!), that I'd never heard before and absolutely love...specifically: Aqualung's "Strange and Beautiful," Dot Allison's "Colour me," The Flaming Lips' "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Part 1," Feeder's "Just The Way I'm Feeling," and Virgin Souls' "Personality." The Flaming Lips song alone was worth it just for the lyrics. Evidently, Part 2 is just screaming. Nice.
