radiohead
on my same visit to hmv, i saw that they are having some kind of sale on the re-releases of radiohead's first three albums: "pablo honey", "the bends", and "ok computer". i call those their "rock" albums; it's the only radiohead that i could really get into. they were selling the 2-disc version for $7 each and the 3-disc version for $13 each.oh wow. i knew i had to get them. the 3-disc version, of course.



each disc comes in a cardboard sleeve. the booklets are exactly the same as the original versions. with each album, there are cards showing the cover of the singles and ep's. everything is housed in a cardboard box. alright packaging.

b&s, dcfc, rh
hmv is having some sales, and so i got a bunch of cd's.belle and sebastian - if you're feeling sinister
belle and sebastian - the boy with the arab strap
belle and sebastian - fold your hands child, you walk like a peasant
i've been wanting some b&s albums for a while, but they've usually been pricey. i got them now at a reduced price. some nice indie/twee pop to add to my collection.
death cab for cutie - you can play these songs with chords
death cab for cutie - the photo album
this completes my dcfc album collection. i could probably do without the b-sides compilation (since it has several songs already also on their debut album), but it contains their cover of "this charming man", which is probably the best track on that disc.
radiohead - pablo honey
this completes my collection of rh 'rock' albums. i must admit that i don't care much about their later material (everything after "ok computer"), when they became all 'experimental' and stuff.

radiohead
shame on me, i only own one radiohead album... my friend and i could not not get tickets to their show. apparently, it sold out quite quickly. i'm not too disappointed. they seem to tour often enough, i'll just catch them on their next tour. also, tickets are expensive; now i can use that money for other things.
for example, getting an actual cd. "ok computer" was their last album before they went electro-experimental. i definitely prefer their rock albums.
