Babilonia - Readymade FC I went ahead and bought it on iTunes for $10. I don't usually buy anything but singles on iTunes but I really wanted this album and didn't want to wait for the price to come down (or a used copy to show up). Such a great album.

So I went to Amoeba to buy Babilonia by Readymade FC...but it was 20 bucks! I don't know why it's so expensive, maybe it's an import? Anyway, as much as I adore the CD, I decided to wait until it comes down a few bucks. Of course I couldn't leave without buying something:

John Lennon - Mind Games I was pretty turned off by the production on RockNRoll and that bled into my thoughts on all of John's solo albums. But I'm starting to come around now. Still don't really like R'N'R, but I'm really digging the rest now.
John Lennon - Double Fantasy Yoko rocks.
Paul McCartney & Wings - Red Rose Speedway Hmmm, I'll need to give it another listen or two, but it didn't grab me.
The Beach Boys - Today! / Summer Days (And Summer Nights!) I prefer post-Pet Beach Boys to pre-Pet Beach Boys, but this stuff is just classic, you can't fight it.
Simon & Garfunkel - Sounds Of Silence Continuing my "best of" replacements.

First impressions of my latest lunch break purchases:

Rick Moranis - Agoraphobic Cowboy After two weeks was it all I hoped for and more? Yes. Musically, it sounds like a country album, for better or worse, but the lyrics make me smile every time. When I'm in a Mighty Wind mood this will do nicely.
Cat Power - Moon Pix I just found out she cancelled her US tour due to illness. :(
Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun A little more energetic and melodic then "()" so it'll probably spend more time in my rotation.
John Lennon - Walls And Bridges I like the production more then Rock'N'Roll and Milk And Honey, but my favorite track is the stripped down acoustic "Nobody Loves You (When You're Down And Out)" bonus track included with the remaster.
Paul Simon - The Paul Simon Songbook Down and dirty Simon, I like.
They Might Be Giants - John Henry I didn't recognize any of the song titles when I picked this one up, but once I listened to it I was all like "hey, I know these songs!" True story.
Belle & Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress This was the wild card purchase. I heard it on someone's iTunes at work and sort of dug the sarcastic lyrics with the sunny-pop sound of the first few songs so I went ahead and bought it. But I'm not sure if it's an album I love, at least on first listen. We'll see.
Simon & Garfunkel - Wednesday Morning, 3AM I have a "best of" SiGa CD that I plan on replacing with all the real albums cause I'm anal like that.
