i blew some of my amazon gift certificates (earned from routing much of my finances through my amazon visa card) on new music:
- sunshine barato by mosquitos: my first impression is that it is mellower than their first album. still good, but just not as much of a pop to it.
- uma batida diferente by bossacucanova: this was a recommendation when buying sunshine barato, and so far i like it.
- brian wilson presents smile: this will require more focused listening before i can pass any real judgement.
update: smile is brilliant.
will amazon get into the netflix business? that would be interesting. i would consider switching if the service were comparable and i got the triple-points for charging the fee to my amazon credit card. (it is almost comical how much of my finances i now run through that card just to get the little $25 kickbacks.)
