gift certificates are such a trap. i hate them. i especially hate best buy gift certificates. i hate best buy itself even more. why? because i can't go in there with a specific amount of money to spend and stick to it. i had a 35 dollar gift certificate. that's just not enough. and once i get going looking through cd's, it's terrible. i never buy cd's. they're too expensive and i can get free live stuff. but...i caved in today. what did i end up with?

string cheese incident - carnival '99(i've been purposely avoiding this band for a long time now. hard core avoiding. we're talking skipping them at sasquatch AND the 'roo because i was scared to death i'd like them. and they've been on a lot lately at various friends houses and i really really really DO like them so i decided to just say fuck it. what's one more addiction.)

jason mraz - waiting for my rocket to come

coldplay - parachutes(because people have been telling me for a long time now that i should listen to them)

nickel creek - self titled

john butler trio - three

mmmmmmmm. music goooooooooooooooood.
