also, tower is sadly going out of business and having a liquidation sale, which means that instead of being $17.99, the new timberlake is $1.799 cheaper than that (i fire math!)

i did get the new klosterman book, IV, out of the sale though.  the first chapter on britney spears' oblivion to her cultural status was the stuff of legends.

my fall semester soundtrack-

Yo la Tengo!
TV on the Radio!
mewithoutYou!
Sparklehorse!
