the light in the land of plenty

i'd go to bed earlier, but i find that between 10 pm and 2 am is the only time in my day for uninterrupted reading/listening. until i've mastered the entire leonard cohen catalogue, i think i'll have to stay up late. it's just so hard to go to bed when there's so much more to get out of these songs. i love poring over such a rich discography; i just wish i could do it before midnight.

it's funny, that every time i think i'm done and settled in my collection, i find a new mission. last year that mission was morrissey, and now i have all of the morrissey records. soon i will have all of the leonard cohen records.

now i have:
recent songs (1979)
i'm your man (1988)
ten new songs (2001)

in other news, the old virgin/new hmv store has two martha and the muffins records on cd: metro music (1979) and this is the ice age (1981). i'll pick them up soon. today i got then again, an 18-song martha and the muffins retrospective.
