The Sound Exchange in Austin is closing its doors. Dan and I made a road trip into Austin today to pay our respects - and buy whatever we could find (30% off everything!).

I picked up a lot of random stuff, from blues to jazz to pop to hip-hop and back. But the one cd I picked up on a lark has turned out to be fantastic. It's the newest album by Jenny Toomey, formerly of Tsunami. Titled "Tempting," it's a fine melange of pop, lounge, and more with some amazing guest musicians on it. (Did someone say Calexico?) Anyway, pick it up if you find a copy. It's worth it, I promise.
