I’m surprised the Camouflage “Live In Dresden” 2DVD+CD has dropped off this week. It was a big seller the moment it came out about a month ago. The new Apoptygma Berzerk hangs in there in both the regular and limited editions. I think that is because A Different Drum is one of the few places in the USA where people can even find it. $3 discount CD’s remain strong sellers every week (everybody love a great deal). Elegant Machinery also hangs in there with a great return album that is everything people love about old-school, catchy synthpop. Also, the German band spotlight is a popular seller, with three newer bands (Disreflect, Midnight Resistance, and Elmodic) that are getting a lot of attention lately.

Fun to see that my own debut Saudade MCD is hanging in there at #20. I know it’s not a masterpiece, but it was fun to put it out…feels just like this morning when I was playing basketball and actually hit a 3-pointer on my only attempt. Swoosh! Just so you know, I rarely shoot, and even more rarely hit 3-pointers. I’m better known for running around and crashing into people.
