Some Kind Of Salvation
$9.49
I happened to run across the video of "Lions" when I visited the Kings of Leon website. Boy am I glad I did! I often search for new discoveries in music and rarely find anything I would actually purchase. "Some Kind of Salvation" is a definite exception. There is not a single song on this disc that I don't like (another rarity!), well except the bonus song "Mosiss Tosiss" which is available when the disc is purchased through iTunes. At first listen I didn't care for "Gates of Hell" because it has a slow start and I never bothered to listen to the whole song. Once it gets going though it really is great although too short. My personal favorites are: Temporary Blues, All I Ask and Baby's Hammer. The only problem with this disc is that it isn't long enough!

Some Kind of Salvation is certainly a salvation to the ears compared to the mainstream junk they crowd the airwaves with. Highly recommended!!

Redeeming Features: A Memoir
$30.00
If you're up to date on your stylish Brits and Amos, you'll love Nicholas Haslam's autobiography, "Redeeming Features". Haslam was born to a wealthy and connected family in the early days of WW2. The youngest son - of three children - he was raised in a country home safely located outside London and the German bombings. After the war, he was stricken with polio and was bed-bound for a couple of years. He later was sent away to school, and then on to Eton. However, Nicky made a life outside of his four walls at Eton. Realising early his sexuality, he mainly used Eton as a base for his real life in London, amid the clever and trendy people he befriended. Haslam has lived life to the fullest, it seems, in his 70 years. He is currently an interior designer of note, and also writes for both shelter and style magazines. He's lived - and loved - in many places; London, the south of France, Morocco, Jamaica, Barbados, Los Angeles, and, for a short time, northern Arizona! Haslam "names names", but never in a mean way. His writing is delightful and the reader is introduced to many the unforgettable character Haslam has met, worked with, and loved in his life.

I can't really recommend this book to the average reader. I think if you didn't "know" at least most of the names he writes about, you wouldn't enjoy it. For those of us who do "know" the names, "Redeeming Features" is a fun read.

Tammy And The Bachelor / Tammy Tell Me True / Tammy And The Doctor (Triple Feature)
$19.98
My mother and I used to watch these together so I bought them out of sentimental value and I only had them on VHS and wished to have them on DVD but they are light romance and very cute.
