Who knew the library sold cds?!

today I got these and paid a total of $4 dollars!!...

Annie - Anniemal
Mars Volta - Amputecture
Scissor Sisters - Ta Dah


I also got a book on tape...

All this was $4!

Anyone else ever luck up at the library?

Nice haul.

The book is tacky. Come to think of it; so are the sisters.

I've never purchased an album from the library, but I have been aware of them having them in stock for quite some time.



Praise be to Anniemal, I listen to this album religously still after 4 years!

Come on baby, you're my greatest hit"

I'm listening to it right now (on track 8), and I've liked every song so far
she's very coool! I had looked for this album before, but had no idea it was right around the corner at the library!

But I love Anne Rice! I was hoping to love this book too

I like some of her earlier work. Then it became... repetitious.

GooeyTheHamster said:

So far I've only finished Interview... and most of The Vampire Lestat
I eventually want to read all her stuff and then get started on Stephen King's essential books (which will probably take the rest of my life to get through)

thekidsgirl said:

ZOMG!! "Chewing Gum" is my CUT! I had it on repeat for like an hour today, no lies!

ScarletScandal said:

I'm about to put it back on,

I'm so dissaponted that Don't Stop was a near radical departure, almost as if she were vying for mainstream acceptibility. Anniemal is infectious from beginning to end.

"My Best Friend" is such a touching ode to her deceased, former love, DJ Erot.

IdentityCrisis said:

Don't Stop is her most recent album? I haven't heard anything from it

Stephen King! I loved his Dark Tower series. And Misery. And I loved, loved, loved his book with Peter Straub The Talisman.

And I quite enjoyed his book On Writing , which also serves as a sort of auto-biography. Great read.

And if you like that stuff; try Jonathan Carroll's Sleeping In Flame and The Wooden Sea.

Oh, geez I need to become a faster reader!

It leaked around the mid part of '08, when it was set to be released; but, her label decided to hold off on it until 2009.

I can only pray the delay is to perform some much need tweaking (aka, a complete scrapping to start anew).

IdentityCrisis said:

I do too in that case, I just finished listening to it, and I loved it! I didn't feel compelled to skip a single track

the downtown MPLS library has a great CD collection. every now and then i'll go check out a big fat stack of music. highly recommended. good times!

I now know I've been missing out on a goldmine at the library!

I have filled out my ipod at the library...nice stuff, if you have the time to weed through lots of filler quality material.

Try to make friends with the peson responsible for ordering the cd's if you can (especially if it is a smaller library). They will often take suggestions from customers about what to buy for the shelves and you can check stuff out for free first.

Who the hell gave up their Annie CD...a donation, probably! I hope the fool packed it up on his PC or has an extra copy. That CD might be one of the best (or at least my favorites) of the decade. Overall stronger than anything Janet, Madonna...hell, even stronger than anything that skinny motherfucker with the high voice put out in the past 8 years.

i work at a library. i am surprised at the thing we have. right now, i am listening to nina simone sings the blues. i ordered a wu tang clan cd. alot of bowie, and other groups i like. it sucks they have japanese music thought.
