Everybody Knows Somebody: Far: A Visual Tour

So Today was finally the day. I called up Anna and asked her if she wanted to partake in the CD buying excursion. She agreed with an excited yes. So, after showering and dressing, I picked her up at her house. Liam was there so he tagged along for the ride. Anna told us she'd already put a down payment on the CD at the fye in the mall, so we went there. We got there and I looked around for quite some time while they got her her CD. I looked everywhere but there were no copies to be found. Once Anna had checked out I had to go up to the cashier and ask her where I could find one. I'm not particularly anti-social but I hate talking to sales employees. I feel like the more specified my question are the lamer I become in their eyes. I can't help but feel like their judging me, my mannerisms and taste in goods, with their every glance. But I asked her anyways...It's not like a crippling thing. I's just prefer not interacting with them. She said it was sold out because they only got in like three copies. THREE COPIES? Say What? I was pissed. We walked out of the mall where we saw Fusco. It was sufficiently awkward and nicely social. I made some overly grand gestures about wanting to punch the fye people in the face. We stood around for a little then he left to get his haircut; We ventured onward. Once in the car I realized Anna had purchased the single disc version. She was pissed when she found out there was more than one version. We went to the other fye, the one I always buy my CDs at. It's slightly creepier but it feels less corporate, so I enjoy the shopping experience. Plus, they always have what I want. And, sure enough, we walked in and I spotted the CD right away. In the mall it was weird because I didn't exactly know where to go to fin the new releases. That was not an issue the second time around. I was at full ease in my familiar albeit slightly creepy stomping ground. Not only did they have multiple copies of the CD, they had the 2 disc version on sale. Oh Yeahhhh. Victory! In the car my mom immediately popped it in and I had a quick fit when I realized what she had done. I figured it'd be beter to let it go than to freak out about my unique music listening experiences on my own, in my room, studying the lyric booklet when necessary. I figure my mom wanted to look cool in front of my friends so I rolled with it. When we got to my house we ate pizza and listened to the rest on the CD. Then we popped in the DVD and watched the trippy/weird music videos. All in all it was a good experience. Listening to it in the car ended up being really nice; the music partnered really nicely with the slightly scenic and sunny drive home on the semi-back roads. Regina was how Anna and I first really bonded so it was nice to have this experience with her.

Now that I've typed my weight in words here are the pictures:

I love the cover. It reminds me of A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. I can't really explain why, but the connotations are nice.

The house in the background is from the "Dance Anthem of the 80's" video. They had a lot of re-occurring visuals which was cool.

One difference? Anna's disc had the sketched blue piano on it, but hers didn't come with a lyrics booklet.

The hearts reminded me of Bekah's lung sketches.

I love love love the boombox sketch. It's also from the "Dance Anthem" video. It's probably my favorite song on the album at this point, although "The Calculation" really caught my attention too. It's really too early to tell.
