i completely forgot to mention yesterday while i was returning a cd at music millenium*, i was behind someone who was also returning cds, and she said, "look, i don't come here that much, anyway, so a credit is really just wasted on me. why don't you just give it to her?" and she pointed to me. the man behind the counter blinked and said, "okay. i'll need her name on it." and that's how i walked out of music millenium richer than when i walked in! :) (i also got full credit on the cd i was returning, even though it was used and bought w/ a coupon. whoo hoo!)
[* the cd was a used leonard cohen cd because it had a version of "hallelujah" on it. i've been looking for "hallelujah" because shannon once made me a mix tape with the best version i've ever heard (spooky & dark), but she didn't bother to say who the artist was. i've never found it again, and i've tried lou reed, leonard cohen & jeff buckley (who i ended up using on the "christmas eve" holiday card last year to modest success, but i still! want! the other! one!). update 02.10.03: philip asks if i've heard the john cale version featured on the shrek soundtrack, and i'm sorry to again report the itunes music store has neither the soundtrack or the song. bah. but i have heard the shrek one (i remember asking michael: "why the heck did they put -this- on here? haven't they -listened- to the song?" and it's still not the one i'm looking for.]
