Did actually drag myself out of the hovel for a while. Wound up cutting across Bernard over to Bathurst, and started walking south to Bloor. Spotted a cafe called Grapefruit Moon, which Jayme has mentioned a couple times. Looked in the front window, and lo and behold, Jayme was there.
Five hours later, I did make it down to Bloor St. and wound up in the big second-hand CD store (name escapes me) next to the Bloor Cinema. Perhaps not a wise move. New purchases:
- Electronic, "Disappointed" CD Maxi-Single -- this isn't quite as old as I thought it was; it dates from 1992, but the piano riff just screams house ca. 1989-90
- Various Artists, The Hardest Hits, Volume Two -- a decent compilation of hard-to-find 80s retro (and hence, itself hard to find), despite the appearance of Naked Eyes' "Always Something There to Remind Me", which seems to crop up on every other freaking retro compilation out there (that and Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy")
- Ultravox, Dancing With Tears in My Eyes -- not the best Ultravox compilation in existence, but it was there, I was there, and it was going cheap
