lenora_roseProgress notes for August 17, 2006:
Raising the Storm
New Words: 600-some words.
Reason for stopping: Not sure what the characters say next, and my brain is turning off.
Tea: Apple Juice.
Music: Ulla Pirttijärvi, Máttaráhku Askái,
Darling du Jour:His lip felt wet with something too hot and viscous to be water, though it tasted of the sea.
Mean Things: Intense pressure. Physicially and otherwise.
Inevitable Asides: I'm definitely noticing a decline in the Folk Festival Music Store's selection since the guy who ran it for almost forever left it. (The selection improved during the festival itself, of course, but aside from albums by the artists actually present, they didn't pick up quite as much as they usually would.) It's been over a year, and it seems like I'm seeing less and less of the stuff I check for -- and I always ahve a fairly long mental list of names to check, even if I don't meant o buy them yet. The Nordic section has become a joke, and even the "Celtic" section (Which, as well as Celtic work, houses people like Maddy Prior and June Tabor) is getting small.
I don't mind other people buying stuff before I get to -- I mind that it doesn't seem to get restocked afterwards.
For instance, today I went out hunting a very specific but fairly common folk album (Kate & Anna MacGarrigle - Matipedia). I've found it at HMV (But of course, for a stupid price I'd enver pay, even to support the artist), and today, I found a copy used -- in fact, the used store had a few things I wanted, but I restrained myself to just two. The other, Luka Bloom's From the Mountain to the Moon, is a perfect example of what I'm talking about: over the last year the Folk Fest Store has gone from having 4 different albums of his, the more popular ones in multiple copies, but just expensive enough to keep me from an impulse buy, to having none at any price. I thought they'd at least reappear for the Festival itself, but no.
And yes, I shouldn't have bought anything. I justified two albums based on used CD prices, which would have got me one at the real stores.
