I got Nicola Roberts' "Cinderella's Eyes" off amazon.ca for $11 shipped.... really interesting album, I never noticed her much in Girls Aloud, but she has a really unique voice; I suppose I can see why it wasn't a huge commercial success, but it's a top quality left field pop album.
So the deluxe edition of Watch The Throne just arrived... damn, I wish all CD packaging was like this.
It truly is amazing. Great choice also, New Day is the highlight for me! Lykke and Santi arrived yesterday in great condition, hoping Dido and Amy find their way home today.
Seriously - it's beauuuuutiful. Also arrived: Britney - Circus Grimes - Halfaxa Kanye - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

I just preordered a Hoverboard. I'm excited. It'll look good next to my Ghost Trap and Lightsaber too.
So I've received Amy's Back to Black (Deluxe) and Dido's Safe Trip Home (Deluxe). I'm so perplexed with the Back to Black (Deluxe), it's this exclusive edition from Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. It's so cool though! I must also admit that Youth Novels has one of the most beautiful album booklets of all time.
I just got Monrose's 'Strictly Physical' and 'I Am' albums dirt cheap off Amazon. Will be nice to finally own something by them physically.
The 11-disc Leonard Cohen boxset - all his albums (bar the new one) for £18! Plus an old Will Young CD-single for 1p.
Found Taio's TY.O, Kate Ryan's French Connection, and Rihanna's Rated R Reloaded in a '3 for 10 euro' deal. (The latter's one I always pick up in any bargain bin but always put back as well since I already own the original deluxe album). Got Pink's Greatest Hits thrown in for an additional 2 euro, so that should make some friend happy. I love bargains.
Here's my penny cd haul from Zoverstocks this week... I also bought some new stuff as well (which I usually don't do, mostly buy used these days).... all except the Nicola Roberts cd came from HMV:
Thompson Twins - King For A Day 7" Japanese in withdrawn sleeve So rare, that I'd never actually heard of it before. And it's a thing of beauty. I'll be gazing at it lovingly throughout the day.
