CK's mom was gracious enough to give me a gift certificate to local music store Good Records for my birthday. I used the opportunity to go on a long-waited shopping spree for some albums I've wanted for a while. The take:

- Rodrigo Y Gabriela - 11:11 (CD + DVD set)
- Black Joe Lewis - Tell 'Em What Your Name Is! (CD)
- Mudhoney - SuperfuzzBigmuff (LP + MP3 download voucher)
- The Jesus Lizard - Liar (LP + MP3 download voucher)

I think it's really cool that you can buy an LP and get LP sound quality and also get digital versions of the songs to dump to your ipod or burn to CD. Or, better yet, I can hook up the record player to my music recording equipment and record tracks from the LP as if I were recording live music tracks. The computer won't know the difference. Hooray for RCA inputs! And Garage Band. Assuming Garage Band will be able to interpret the tracks and make MP3 files out of them. I suppose any signal fed through my USB interface will end up on one track on Garage Band anyway, which means I'd just make each song on the LP a one-track song in GB and then convert the songs to MP3. This post just got really nerdy.
