Pick up new Dresden Dolls album and the new Dita book that came out yesterday, and ponder the new Morrisey (I wasn't crazy about the last one, on the fence on this one).

I love Bust magazine's articles and reviews. Its often very thought provoking. Without getting into too much discussion, things from this mag:
-Betty Page and views of her (versus actual her) inspired by the new movie, 4/14 I think
-How Target isn't the best place to shop, though it sucks us in
-The actual simplicity of pinup style makeup techniques (and how the style was influenced by war time)
-The ton of good books and music out there to check out
-On the opposite side (related to a book review), how changing would it be to stop buying "stuff" for a year (save for essentials)

a notion similiar to this has crossed my mind recently. I passed by a Newbury Comics today and I thought "There's one or two things I should check out." But then I reeled myself in and just kept walking. I already possess enough music to fill an IPOD or 7 ... a year without "new" music/books may be a struggle ... but even as I type: damn, I could save a fortune.

Is Bust online, or is it a subscription only magazine? Is it in newsstands?

Bust

Its a magazine that I do have a subscription for, but you should be able to find it at bookstores (i.e. the local convenience store wouldn't carry it, but a store with a ton of magazines would).

Here's their site http://www.bust.com/ which lists an idea of what's in the mag, though all the articles aren't there . . .

The Dita von Tease book came out? Finally? Or is this not the same book that's had a release date that's been on hold indefinitely on Amazon?

Yep, it finally came out on Tuesday. Its up on Amazon for around $22 (I'm not sure where to find it retail).

There's a new Dresden Dolls CD?!?!?!

I will buy it tonight!

What is it called, pray tell?

Dresden Dolls

The new album is "Yes, Virginia". The Bust review was a good one, but said its more rock than cabaret (compared to the last album).

Amazon has it up for pre-order, and I think its in stores 4/17.

ah, 4/18 (not 4/17)

We LOVES Bust magazine!

I buy it every time it comes out. I should stop being lame and buy a subscription. Last month's interview with Peaches was funny as hell and there is always something Boston related in the magazine.
