Recent Music Findings

So, sadly, while I'm in Italy (by the way, I'm in Italy) I will be unable to use Amazon, which will severely limit my music purchases.  My only resource will be the record store by the main piazza here in Bologna, and I don't think they have much in the way of Britpop or Shoegaze.  That said, using youtube as a resource, I've found various things:
1) If there were any doubts, Suede's B-sides are all awesome.  As soon as I get back to the states I'm picking up a copy of Sci-Fi Lullabies
2) So I found this Ride track from their second album, Going Blank Again, called "OX4" (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=57I0Lt0yalA) which incidentally sounds like Suede to start and then becomes every bit as sensitively potent as "Vapour Trail", so I guess I'll have to get a copy of that album to add to my collection
3) Also, I constantly forget how good Jawbreaker and Oasis (in no way related) are, and recently have remembered again.  eff you, haters

The next few months should be pretty exciting - new MBV album due within a fortnight, new GBV and Suede by summer.  So psyched
