New Media - September 18, 2007

New media arrives in stores on Tuesdays, so once a week – I try to limit myself to once a week – I go shopping for new books, DVDs, and music.

Here’s a taste of what has been added to my collection in the past week.

Books:
The Spiderwick Chronicles Book 1: The Field Guide by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black
What-the-Dickens by Gregory Maguire
Isle of Swords by Wayne Thomas Batson
[and a handful of Choose Your Own Adventure books at the Planned Parenthood Book Sale]

DVDs:
Superman/Doomsday
Crash

Games:
Worms 2: Open Warfare (DS)
Jam Sessions (DS)

Music:
From the Screen to Your Stereo: Part II by New Found Glory
Drastic Fantastic by K.T. Tunstall
Even If It Kills Me by Motion City Soundtrack
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge by My Chemical Romance

Look for these materials to join The Stacks in the near future. Some might even sneak by The Stacks and end up mentioned here before you know it.

Have you listened much to Common?

Just a couple of songs. I've seen the videos on MTV in the morning while getting around for work. Not bad. It would take more than just a couple of songs to get me to buy an album, though.

Not true. You've bought plenty of albums for just one song... that's the whole industry's ploy and reason for releasing singles.
