I'm dying to throw on my copy of Machine Head and listen to Highway star and Lazy, but alas, i still have not gone out and replaced my stylus after it got trashed at our New Years eve party. yeah yeah yeah...space truckin'!

I'd still be up for the 18th and i promise to stay for more than one beer!

Speaking of essentials, all you Pavement fans will be glad to know that i finally picked up a copy of Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain and am enjoying it immensely. While i was at Vortex i also managed to snag a used copy of Shout Out Louds first release which is pretty cool since it was only released last week and when i tried to get it at Soundscapes, they didn't even have it in their computer...can you say promo copy!
