for the trees

So aside from a few cds I bought at a show a week or so back, I bought my first two new records of the year (I think...).

The big choice was Bahamas - Pink Strat and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & The Cairo Gang - The Wonder Show of the World.

I really, really love the Bahamas album. I was holding off buying it since I heard Jason Collett's podcast for CBC Radio 3 back in November of last year. Collett played the song "Hockey Teeth" and I couldn't get enough. I'm absolutely charmed by Afie Jurvanen, who exposes all on the front of his album featuring his real name, date of birth, height and weight. I don't know a single woman who would want to give all of that away in one picture.

This album is perfect through and through.
