When I got my new wallet and cleaned out the old one, I found a Tower Gift Card. It still had value, so I picked up a live set by Mark Knopfler (mostly stuff off the new album) and a great live jam with Oscar Peterson, Dizzy, Clark Terry, and Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis (from Montreux in 77)
I just burned the last of my Amazon gift certificates, picking up Lyle Lovett's Joshua Judges Ruth, John Prine's new album (Fair and Square), Richard Thompson's brand-spankin' new 'Front Parlour Ballads', John Hiatt's latest, 'Master of Disaster', a live set from Birdland with Art Blakey and Clifford Brown, and a disc with Beethoven 5 and Sibelius 2, conducted by George Szell. The last two came as part of me joining the CDNow Preferred Buyer Club, which is worth an additional 20% off, so long as you buy something like two CDs over the course of the year from them. Selection isn't fabulous, and it ships seperately from your other stuff, so you need to get to $25 twice to get free shipping.
