Since I got hooked up to broadband I hadn't bought a single CD until today. It is tempting to completely ignore the record store in favour of gluttonous mp3 downloading via soulseek. However, all the free music in the world won't ever replace that sense of satisfaction when you leave a record shop with a little gem you've just stumbled across in your back pocket.

Such satisfaction, I rediscovered today when I picked up Niun Niggung by Mouse On Mars for €€4.99 in Tower Records. If that ain't a bargain I don't know what is. Maybe, not their finest work but released in 1999 it's glitchy, electronic pop delivered exceptionally well. Now wouldn't it be a treat if they were added to the EP line up.
