vuzhi browsed a bit at Barnes and Noble.
i don't like buying there, they're overpriced and corporate...
but i do think it's a good place to browse, especially for CDs. the scanners they have up, where you scan the barcodes, and you can listen to snippets of any CD in stock -- that's pure genius.
i did determine that i really do, in actuality, need a couple of CDs that i already suspected that i need:
Eno - Apollo (Atmospheres and Soundtracks) and Zappa - Hot Rats.
also determined that the new Tortoise might be worth getting, i had been avoiding it, but it sounded enjoyable.
also listened to Brian Wilson's "Smile" a little bit.
my thirty year long antagonism toward the Beach Boys may be breaking up a bit.
"Smile" sounds like a weird deconstruction of the Beach Boys... it does seem a little cloying and claustrophobic, but it might be interesting to try to listen to the whole thing.
i'm allowing myself to get into stuff that i've always avoided to see if i'm purposefully keeping myself from something i might like for dubious or nonexistant reasons.
also browsed the DVD section so that i could find stuff to rent from Greencine!

i'm pretty nutty for his stuff, but of course the big draw is that it's got lots of that same difficult-to-describe thing i tend to like about things. which almost sounds like maybe i just think it's there and they're all great mirrors or something, but neh.
