KISS the Carpenters

Short post today. Have injured my right arm/shoulder (long story but it involves the TWOD) and the physio decided to strap my shoulder this morning. I feel like a footy player.

But I had to share something funny that happened whilst I was walking home (in huge amounts of pain I might add) along King Street.

I stopped off at Fish Records - next door to the Dendy. It was that $10 CD sign. Gets me every bloody time. Usually I take a peek, see either crap or stuff I already own (what's the difference I hear some of you ask) so my purse doesn't usually see the light of day. But not today.

Now as you know, because I've mentioned it before, I have what can really only be described as an eclectic taste in music. It spans all forms.

But not everyone can deal with my choices.

Which this morning were:

KISS - Gold (1974-1982)
Forty tracks from the original glam rock boys themselves. Two discs of rock'n'roll heaven, including Shandi - one of my top ten songs of all time.

The Carpenters - Greatest Hits
I actually bought this one a few years back but it got lost in one of my many house moves and I've missed it. Its a great one for late night drunken party sing-a-longs.


Pity the poor sales assistant this morning. He asked whether I was starting my Christmas shopping early. His face, when I blithely informed him that both of them were for my listening pleasure was classic.

I currently have them on shuffle on the stereo. Cold Gin followed by Rainy Days and Mondays followed by Sure Know Something followed by We've Only Just Begun... what a mix.

I'm going off for neurofen and a bit of a lie down.
