As usual, each year, I stop buying stuff about a month before xmas, just on the off chance that someone’s brave enough to buy me music. Really, the pickings are pretty slim at this point. Really, all I want are:

• living things . black skies in broad daylight
• pelican . the fire in our throats will beckon the thaw
• rogue wave . descended like vultures
• the zephyrs . when the sky comes down it comes down on your head

Apart from the Rogue Wave disc, those are pretty hard to find (and not at all cheap when you do). Shit, given how hard my preferred music is to find I’d prefer that someone just buys me something I know nothing about, or gives me an eMusic gift subscription. I’m too hard to buy for, apparently.

Hmm, I guess the new Clearlake comes out in December as well. As long as there’re a few left on my wishlist on the 27th when the sales start (not the 26th; I’ll be in Nova Scotia where shopping on Sundays or holidays is verboten) I’ll be happy.
