The redesign is getting there. At least it’s not completely ugly.
I’ve purchased the new Lost in Translation soundtrack today at Virgin Records, which seemed an apropos place to buy it, as I never understood why a media store would be marketed as “Virgin” — it’s not funny and it’s not a great name. Perhaps it’s a British neologism? In any case, I purchased it just to have the new Kevin Shields tracks on it; Mr. Shields is one of my all-time favorite early 90s musicmen, and the main composter of the once-great My Blood Valentine. He’s a Brit and yes, it’s nice to have him back, after a million rumors about MBV’s “new album” over the past ten years.
