The Sorrow of The Broken Walleted

Recently I came into some gift cards. Let's say they belonged to the Bestest place you can Buy (according to them mind you). I had a total of $75.00 and could not afford to go over, which is what I normally do in these situations. It had been a really long time since I bought a CD that wasn't a promo or a previously used and I was excited by prospect of it. So excited in fact that I placed... I don't know... $250 worth of Cd's into my hand cart. I had to stop myself at the beginning of the M, because I knew I'd be making the end decision harder. I'm so used to buying from the $5.99 and below bin, I cruelly teased myself with stuff I can't afford. Here's a rough idea of what I had in my basket:

Deerhoof
Broken Social Scene
Local H
Blackalicious
Arcade Fire
Division of Laura Lee
Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah
Ike Reilly Assassination
Interpol
Giraffes
Death From Above
The Go! Team
Danger Doom... and a few other I don't remember

In the next coming days I will write about each of the bands I selected to buy. I will let you know whether or not you should buy said Cd. Because we all know you hang on my every word. As if you are my sheep to my sheep herder. I will guide you.

Anyways. Here's what we will be discussing over the next few days.

Arcade Fire - Funeral
The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike
Danger Doom - The Mouse and The Mask
Ike Reilly Assassination - Junkie Faithful
Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah

And that folks... is how far $75 gets you. For all the rest of the Cd's I couldn't buy... for you I shed a tear. One per CD.
