So  amtrack88 and I went to Amoeba Music in Hollywood today, and while he was off browsing his old-timey music (and looking for Total Recall in the DVDs), I was raiding the clearance bins. Since it was buy 3 get one free (phrased differently, but the same thing), and most of the albums were $3, I decided to do some blind buying, picking albums I thought had cool cover art.

At the end of it, I had four albums I had never ever heard of before (hadn't heard of the bands, either), and one that I had heard of. Most of these bands don't even have Wikipedia pages (the one I had previously heard of did, as did one other one). So I went and checked out the website of one of the bands, Dubious Ranger. I go to look up the album I picked up, and it says "pre-order, ships April 21st, 2009." Wut. Apparently the one I snagged was a promo, that had somehow made its way to the clearance bins of Amoeba, where it caught my attention. Score.

I'm listening to it right now, and it's pretty damn good. A bit odd, but I like it that way. So yeah, I lucked out big time.
