Splurge out on cool and inexpensive music...

I'm sorry if this is only relevant to my French readers, but...

Amazon has finally launched its mp3 store outside of the US, and particularly in France. In order to boost visibility, they have a promo currently with 500 albums sold for 2.99 EUR. I had a quick look thinking there wasn't going to be much of interest, but I was wrong. There's a lot of really cool stuff there. Here are a few pointers if you're feeling like splurging out:

The Folk section has:

• Moriarty's Gee Whiz but this is a Lonesome Town
• Alela Dian's The Pirate's Gospel
• Johnny Cash's The Man Comes Around

The Jazz section has:

• Jamie Cullum's Twentysomething
• Weather Report's Heavy Weather
• Miles Davis' Kind of Blue
• The Bad Plus' These Are the Vistas
• Charles Mingus' Blues & Roots
• Erik Truffaz' The Dawn
• Herbie Hancock's Headhunters
• Oscar Peterson's Night Train

The Rock section has:

• Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon
• Nirvana's Nevermind
• Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here
• Queen's A Night at the Opera

• The Doors' The Doors

Knock yourself out! I'm off to purchase stuff I don't have yet!
