Tiger, Be My Friend
I was at Readings Bookstore last night - completing my perfect evening trifecta: movies, dinner, books/music/magazines. Tim Burton's The Corpse Bride was so much fun - very sweet and funny. He really creates a world you can tip into.
Later, when we were mooching around the bookshop I was distracted by the cd they had playing in the store. I kept stopping and listening. In the end, I bought it - despite the fact I'd only hearda bout 2 minutes of it.
It's called Tiger, Be My Friend by UK duo, Psapp. I can't explain why I love this cd so much - I'm not usually into music but it's so unusual, gentle and trippy. I'm not doing a good job of describing it but imagine if a group of incredibily sophiscated toddlers formed a band - with the help of a squeaky toy and a music box. Anyway, thought I'd mention it because there's something special about them.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I'm going to craft my head off.x

That sounds like a perfect evening. If only I could get a baby sitter I might have a night out like that. I love Tim Burton movies.
I bought one of my favorite CD's the exact same way!
I usually find it hard to pick cd's- there are way too many, and I'm useless at remembering exactly which songs on which album it is that I like, so buying something you've just heard is an easy way out.
often the best way to buy them, great cover too...can't wait to see the craft!
