i didn't stay long, picked up a few cds and cookbooks (of course). this is the library that has the whole floor devoted to music and art, though there weren't a whole bunch of artists that i was into currently available.
but! i did find..................... shinee. married to the music! and red velvet (tho i don't listen to them, i thought it was cool)! i'm glad to see kpop cds coming more and more to libraries around the area; they're always so expensive (because of the add-ons, i know) but i think people should be able to experience the joy of listening to kpop cds.................. (n then i picked up a joy division cd and an old bruno mars one (doo-wops n hooligans is really nostalgic ok..........))
i wonder. if you collect physical albums, what draws you to them? do you like to collect the fan goodies, or do you just want the disc? because nowadays i see some add cd players, keychains, headphones, toys, etc etc. it's sort of interesting, but i don't really want it myself. i only want the disc (when i'm sure i love the album) and hope for a card of my bias. if i want specific sorts of merch, i try to look online for fellow fans that are doing diy, or get the resources myself.
that being said. i wonder what'll be in exo's new album. they don't really add a whole bunch of new things alongside the usual, but who knows what's up their sleeve this time. it's been a while. (speaking of exo, their tracklist was revealed! i'm particularly interested in moonlight shadows...)
... on the way back, the sunset was beautiful. coral clouds, the sky going from a pastel blue down to a blazing orange. soft lavender and rose pink. we had to pass through the bayside town in order to get home, so we drove along the beach, and i was able to step out and take some photos. i also took a video as we drove across the bridge later on. the cure cd i picked up was playing, and for a moment, everything felt like a dream.
i wish i could just stare at the sunset forever. but if i could, it wouldn't mean as much, right?

omg a fourth library!! (no worries at all, it's cool to hear about all your different spots~). that's awesome you found some shinee and red velvet there too ;D i totally agree, more people should get to experience kpop cds without the huge price tag!!!
about collecting physical albums... i'm mostly here for the disc and the photobook, but getting extra goods is always a nice bonus~ they're rarely diy though, so the idea of having a personal, handmade one sounds really special. :3
AND EXO'S NEW ALBUM... the tracklist has me so curious. when i saw crown and immediately thought of ztao's solo song (an amazing song btw!!). but idk if it's just me, but some of the track titles feel awfully similar to older ones? like moonlight shadows (my mind instantly went to moonlight), crazy (going crazy?), and then i randomly scrolled fast and saw black pearl but it was just back pocket lol. i can't wait to hear all the songs GAAHHHHH
that sunset drive sounds absolutely magical. hope you have a lovely night eugene~
wow, four libraries?! that's honestly awesome, i don't even think my city has more than like 2 at least. i should get out and explore i guess.
RED VELVET AND BRUNO MARSSS!!! i barely listen to either but the few songs i do know are so nostalgic and i love them. i've never owned a physical album ever, but i would probably just want the cd and a nice photocard. if i could have any albums, i would probably want bts' 'love yourself' trilogy. or maybe just one of the three :3
i love to see u and koi's anticipation about the new album, i hope u both enjoy it!! i might have to give it a listen myself.
i love a pretty sunset. and driving along the BEACH?! what an absolute dream. have an amazing sunday, eugene!!

omg right...... which songs are most nostalgic to u nara? :? for me, i'd say peek a boo for red velvet, n talking to the moon for bruno mars. and yaaaay, cd twins! :D i hope u're able to get those cds someday~
