Albums and Comics

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

We went to get some comics and albums from a nice man we met at the auction today.

Brian has filled out his XMen collection a bit (my words not his):

  • Avengers Annual 10 - First Appearance of Rogue
  • Some of the Dark Phoenix saga
  • First appearance of Elecktra and the Hand (no cover though!)

I just got some cool albums (listening to the Cars right now…)

  • The Company album (original  Bway Cast)
  • Promises Promises cast album
  • a Kid Ory album (new orleans music)
  • A couple of Johnny Cash albums
  • A Sun album with lots of good songs (Honey Don’t, RedHot, You are my Sunshine, Whole lotta shakin…)

But my favorite new albums are:

  •    Puffy Sleeves and other exquisite foolishness (ads from TIME radio)
  • How to communicate your ideas - This one is a howto album, as in howto communicate with your boss.  Of course since it was recorded in 1967, no women on the cover. It’s a great reminder that new technology is just an educational tool, it doesn’t replace the idea that we learn certain ways, comprehend instruction in certain ways, etc. I may rip this one too - it would be funny.

I really need some software to catalog my collection (which is HUGE!!!). Any suggestions?
