A and I recently took a quick Austin mini-vacation to refresh, rejuvenate, regenerate and to eat lots of food. I took lots of nice photos, but haven't made it to get our color slide film developed yet... argh.
One blue sky day, after wandering around the flagship Whole Foods </genuflect> and eating yummy raw cheezcake from their raw food counter on the balcony, we wandered over to Waterloo Records to be smitten by various music, magazine and other delights.
We always manage to do a good job at being smitten in cool shops, so we brought home:
- Dave Chappelle Block Party album
- The sultry new Neko Case album
- The AMAZING Put the Book Back on the Shelf comic book based on Belle & Sebastian songs
The Belle and Sebastian book was an unexpected find and is really super - even though the graphic stories aren't always how I pictured them when listening to the songs, but everyone's got a different paradigm and that's cool.
My faves: a very, uhm, visual 'Beautiful' and the sweet family story of 'Asleep on a Sunbeam' (which A & I have rather taken as a biographical interpretation of our years to come).
