Capn Design Archives: 30 Minutes in Tower Records is Dangerous

30 Minutes in Tower Records is Dangerous

October 19, 2004

Last night I bought seven CDs. That's more than usual, but was pretty common during college. While waiting for Jori before seeing Sky Captain, I sat and listened to a number of albums I had been wanting to hear. Most of the stuff I picked up I was planning to get at some point anyway, but the listening stations encouraged my purchase of the new Heiruspecs album and discouraged the purchase of the new Hot Snakes. I've only listened to Cake's Pressure Chief and I'm disappointed thus far. On the way home I'll tackle the new VHS or Beta, which was the winner at the listening stations.

Other CDs purchased yesterday were as follows: R.E.M.'s Around the Sun, The Thrill's Let's Bottle Bohemia, The Faint's Wet From Birth and Joseph Arthur's Our Shadows Will Remain.

My most disappointing music moment of the last week was when Jen and I realized we missed out on the Arcade Fire show next month. We both dropped the ball on that and it sucks. So if you have tickets and you're dying to find someone to buy your second ticket, I'm your man.

Expect reviews of most of the albums mentioned above over the next couple weeks.

What didn't you like about the new Hot Snakes? Just curious.

To be honest, I can't remember what exactly it was that turned me off. I really liked Suicide Invoice, but I felt a bit lost in this record. Granted, I only listened to the first minute or so of four songs, but that's how I felt.

Is it worth getting? I'm willing to drop the cash if I can get a few people to convince me it's as good if not better than Suicide.
