I spent all of Thursday behind the bakery counter humming “Dinner at Eight” by Rufus Wainwright as I served the old women who wanted pastries and cakes in the shape of graduation caps. I was glad it wasn’t “Love and Marriage” and wondered if perhaps “Dinner at Eight” might have the opposite effect.

When I got to Record King after work I spent a while searching for the Rufus Wainwright album I’d seen the other day but couldn’t find it anywhere. Could it really have been sold? Had Record King had a customer?

I walked home and sang out loud to myself in a Rufus Wainwright style as I changed into a shirt that I soon discovered smelled of sweat, so I had to change back again.

I tried moving the whole Motown section down three shelves but quickly realized that that messed up the other end, where part of old-style hip-hop ended up next to Americana, so I had to move the whole lot back again.

Then I wolfed down some sweet corn straight from the tin I’d opened the night before last. It tasted a bit metallic but not too bad. I shook my head and chuckled at the thought of She & Him next to Young MC. I didn’t really feel like going out but felt I ought to for Dansson’s sake.
