Pre-Ordering

So, I pre-ordered this one album [which is out in stores today] and it should get here in the next three to four days. Well, at least according to the e-mail I got. Initially, I was told it would get here in mid June.

Every time I pre-order something, it gets here after I could have already bought it in a physical store. Every time I wonder if it's worth it. Yet, every time I find myself doing it again. I used to tell myself I could stop anytime I wanted, but I'm starting to wonder if that's entirely true.

Also, found some old records in the garage. I knew that some were still there, but I knew most of them got thrown out when I moved. The bad news is that the soundtrack to Oklahoma! was broken in one place. Other casualties include "Green Eyes" by Jimmy Dorsey and "Garibaldi's Hymn" by Enrico Caruso.

The survivors include American Summer by The Beach Boys (which is also in packaging wrap), an album called Sisyphus by a band called Cold Blood, the soundtrack to Godspell, and the soundtrack to Hair.

I haven't gone through them all and still lack a record player, but I am hoping to soon rectify both of those problems.

Because, really, what good is summer without any music?

Also, unrelated [well, kind of]: Glee is having their finale tonight. I am both excited and sullen. At first I was all, "YAY! It's the finale!" then I was like, "Aw, that means it's over for the season. Boo!" But, it will be back, so there is hope.
