it makes me wanna smile!
Saturday, August 20, 2005
the other day, after i was finished buying the stuff that i needed in megamall, i went over to tower records in the same shopping complex. i wanted to browse around, while away my time and make full use of my 35 peso parking fee (which means i stay in a mall for an hour instead of 30 minutes). initially, i was contemplating on buying isha, orange and lemons, imago or bamboo.
to think about which one i was going to buy, i browsed other racks of cd's. i went through the pop/rock section not expecting to see anything that i liked: they ran out of bloc party, no new disc of the dave matthews band and no cd of aqualung. but then again, when i reached the letter 'w', i saw brian wilson's 'smile'!
this cd has been touted as one of the best cd's of 2004 by many music critics and i was quite surprised that nobody grabbed this yet. i mean, this album was uncompleted since 1967 (started writing in the summer of 1966) and has been the elusive goal of the artist since he was still part of the beach boys. 38 years in the making, man! imagine that! forget the other discs that i'm supposed to choose from. this is a cd that nobody is going to take away from me (this was the last piece). here's a cd that's already considered a classic and just for 405 pesos, getting this one should indeed be a no brainer! a smile for this 'smile'!my day is made when i find musical gems such as this one. a few months ago, it was the wilco cd in changi airport in singapore and now this. i'm really finding some good stuff in the letter 'w' section of the racks of music stores.
