what's in my bag?

Just got back from a trip to California, with an obligatory visit to Amoeba Music - Hollywood location.

After just standing dumfounded in one of the aisles just trying desperately to remember the mental list I worked on while stuck in traffic, I got:

Europa 51 (Simon Johns/Andy Ramsay/Mary Hansen/some folks from High Llamas)
The Sea and Cake, Oui
Stereolab, Aluminum Tunes (2 CD set, not the super-fancy vinyl set)
Pram, Helium
Stereolab, ABC Music
Pram, North Pole Radio Station
Tom Waits, Frank's Wild Years

I walked around with a couple of Tortoise albums but ended up putting them down because they were kinda pricey (no used ones other than TNT, which I already own).

I was really impressed with the used section for Stereolab - it seemed like they had at least one copy of everything, and for some reason lots of copies of Oscillons (which I would never trade in). I also love it when the staff actually know enough to file side-projects with the main group stuff (I had know idea Europa 51 existed!).
