{Listening to....}

Long story short, i have been looking for John Mayer's "Where The Light Is" live concert DVD for the longest time. I know it was released in 2008 but i never gotten around to getting it till fast forward to the present year. So in my attempts to locate it, i checked with all our local CD Shops but it was either out of stock or just plain non-existent. However only Rock Corner said they would try to see whether they had it in stock but alas, nope. It's all gone.

So where else to turn to but eBay. Yes of course there will always be someone selling something you want but if they are based in the USA or some other far off country, ferget it. The shipping will take forever. A friend swears it depends on the seller and what postage they use but give and take, the DVD isn't worth the expensive shipping cost.

Then just before my trip to Singapore, I realized that i should bring my search over there. You know, just in case Singaporeans either love Mayer so much that they stocked up lots of his DVDs or hate him that much that no one in the island wants to buy it. I tried searching for a HMV store which is equivalent to Rock Corner but i couldn't find one. I gave up and thus having to bring the search over to Bangkok.

However when i was wandering about in Great World City the day that i was flying back, lo and behold i found tucked in a corner was this music store which was literally called, That CD Shop. And i had that twinkle of excitement. The shop btw is like a CD dreamland with rows and rows of Cd's neatly stack on high dark brown shelves, almost kitsch like industrial concept. It's hard to describe but check out the link and see for yourselves.

If you're wondering by now whether i got it or not and why is my long story short long then yes. I found it. Blessed their heart's. And yes, it was pretty much fated because it was on the DISPLAY stand first thing on the first shelf i looked at. Imagine that. No, it was not hidden among the rows of other DVDs or worse still if it's not available. It was just there. You should see my face. I had to play it cool and browse around the other DVDs before swiftly picking it up before it disappears again.

And yes, John Mayer was great. Well worth the buy. Of course, you knew i was going to say that :)
