I left the Jag and took the Rolls

Is it weird of me to be all excited for Usher and his superlative first-week sales? I guess it's weird of me. I mean I figured he would do OK this time around, but dame.

So I guess I'm now an official elderly person, because we went out to the Best Buy so's Christopher could get his DM box sets all shiny and new on release day, and the hot new fresh jams I ended up with were a) Bob's Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Live 1964 and b) the Who's Then and Now. I had been resisting the thought of getting the latter since it's just greatest hits anyway, but it does have the two new songs on it and everything. And Vol. 6? I was right, Bob does look adorable in that booklet.

As if there were any doubt. I mean stop it???

If they could have gone back in time and gotten him looking like that in those Victoria's Secret ads, forget it.

I also got this magical work of art. Yeah you know, you know you want it too, yeah you know.

WOOO. Although the finished cover substitutes Karen Black for the creepy moustachioed Jack Lemmon (a wise decision) and spells "Concorde" correctly (a slight improvement). Slipcased, embossed foil-like finish, a very tasteful presentation. Now I've got eight hours of Airport movies and over 15 hours of Berlin Alexanderplatz sitting here waiting for me to watch them, and it's not even my birthday! How did I get this lucky? Thank goodness I don't have to work again until next week.
