Books and CD's Found on Saturday

These are the books i found yesterday - the first three being only ten pence each and all hardbacks. I must  add - and what amazing bargains they are.








The monastery and Da Vinci books are from the Folio Society and normally are not cheap. More expensive than usual hardbacks.



I also found the following CD's for a quid each -

Broken Social Scene - You Forget It In People (Vertigo)
The Bera Band - The Three EP's (Regal Recordings)
Biffy Clyro - Only Revolutions (14th Floor CD + DVD)
Jaga Jazzist - A Living Room Hush (Smalltown Supersound)

The latter one was the best find of the day music wise.

Just Wondering

If you ran the fortune cookie factory, what message would you make sure gets put in a cookie?

Have you ever participated in a boycott? What did you boycott and why?

If you found some money at the library, would you pocket it or turn it in? What about at a diner or pub? Confess!

John Butcher - Calls From a Rusty Cage

WIRE 299 - Jan 2009: "In 2006, UK promoters Arika invited John Butcher to tour a number of out of the way spaces in Scotland. The venues, selected for their extreme acoustic properties, included a mausoleum, a wartime fuel storage tank and a cave. This resulting album grows out of the saxophonist's interest in escaping the acoustic confines of conventional venues - work with resonant spaces is documented on the earlier The Geometry of Sentiment and Cavern with Nightlife. Butcher plays tenor and soprano saxophones, sometimes adding feedback and amplification. Such site-specific performances are unrepeatable, of course, but the CD shows that you didn't have to be there to get what he's doing."
