Yesterday I scored big time at the record store. I originally went there because I somehow lost my copy of “Neon Golden” by The Notwist. Well, they had it, and for only six dollars. So I scrounged throught the DVD’s, and came across the second season of Da Ali G Show. I already have the first season, so I grabbed that too.

I also found the special edition of This is Spinal Tap, not for myself–I’ve seen it a zillion times–but for Stephanie and her long-time guy Tony, who have both been professional musicians forever, and who have both somehow gone their whole lives without ever seeing the movie. So I told Steph that was unacceptable, and that I was going to get them the DVD as a housewarming present.

But the ultimate score was the soundtrack CD to Goodbye Lenin, by Yann Tiersen. Surprisingly difficult to find, I’d been looking for it for ages, but somehow it turned up yesterday. Yay! I think I have all of Yann Tiersen’s recordings now.

Yeah, I’d say it was a successful trip.
