"Cinderella Man" from that album is one of my favorite "lost" Rush classics.

I'll eventually listen to it, but I like to wait to listen to the album as a whole on the first spin.
I think I've stated this before, but it makes me appreciate the album by my own tastes and not someone else's opinions on the music. (Not meaning I don't trust your judgement, because I usually like the same kind of stuff as you do).

A 12 pack of Red Stripe.

Good deal on that one man. I like the X Box quite a bit, some pretty cool shit you can do with it.

Yeah good snag on the X-Box, I really dig the Kinect.

The graphics are great and it seems to be more of an adult gaming system as opposed to the Wii (have a Wii for the kids and very family friendly)

I picked up a couple games already - Madden 12 and COD:MW

I've always thought about buying one, but I don't really game enough for me to spend that much on one. I still play the shit out of Sega though.

Download the emulators for the old skool consoles and buy a couple of different USB contollers...

I had an Xbox360 for several years but I almost never played the thing, I'd turn it on a couple times a month and play a game, then it would sit and collect dust the rest of the time.

Hell yeah, I love my Super Nintendo emulator, it's the only place I can play Super Tecmo Bowl and actually whip the Cowboys in the Super Bowl with my Buffalo Bills, I love the old school games.

Or I could save like 300 bucks and keep playing my Genesis

The emulators are free bro, I've got everything from Atari to Genesis to N64 and more. The controllers only costed me like 10 bucks.

Bought some vinyl at Dimple Records:
Jimmy Smith - Jimmy Smith's Greatest Hits!
Jean-Luc Ponty - Cantaloupe Island
Procol Harem - Procol's Ninth
Gary Moore - Corridors Of Power
Nantucket - Long Way To The Top
Kayak - See See The Sun
Kayak - Royal Bed Bouncer
Kayak - Starlight Dancer(Import Version). I already have the US Version

Very nice haul.

It was really cool because they didn't have those Kayak albums the last time I was there. Which was two weeks ago????

L.A. Story (15th Anniversary Edition)
Batman (1989)

A Coney and a Cherry Limeade.
