We were both given Barnes & Noble gift cards recently and decided to make the most of our Barnes and Noble club membership before it expires in a few weeks by purchasing some music.

I selected Cold Play and a band I’ve only recently heard of called The Gabe Dixon Band and Jonathan added the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack for me! YAY! He selected three CDs as well: Ambient 1: Music for Airports, The Avalanche: Outtakes and Extras from the Illinois Album, as well as And Their Refinement of the Decline. Low and behold, we received an email the same day that the three CDs for me were packaged and shipped and should be to our home soon! It wasn’t until yesterday that we received the same message for Jonathan’s musical selections.

Here is a brief summary of our conversation last night regarding this situation, written in the form of a play because, well, it was very dramatic:

J: “Don’t you think it’s a little weird that your music is coming before mine?”
K: “Yeah, I can’t believe they don’t keep post-modern ambient music in stock in the same warehouse where they keep the Cold Play CDs.”
J: “But Brian Eno is famous! He did the music for Windows Vista”
K: laughter
J: “You CANNOT blog about this!”
K: “Oh boy! What a great idea! I’m totally writing a blog post!”
J:  “Well, I’m not telling you how to spell Brian Eno’s name”
K: “Okay, that won’t be hard to come by since it’s probably on the email we got confirming the CDs.”
J: silence.
K: “I think you’re hilarious” and more laughter.

Curtain.

If you want to come to our house and hear some new music, mine will be here today! Jonathan’s will be here Monday.

In other news, Jonathan mowed the lawn for the first time in 2009 yesterday! It looks great!

Happy Friday Everyone!
