Music Binge

You know how there are certain diets you avoid, because it initially keeps you from eating certain things for a while - but then you miss that food so much that it always backfires and you end up eating 10 times as much of what you were avoiding?

I think this is what happened to me with Music.

I'm pretty old fashioned in the fact that I still want to buy my music on CDs from real stores - and then I place them on all my computers at home and work and in the car until i get so sick of the songs - i sell them on Ebay. Well, i went a little bizerk and added 3 new albums to my collection in a week, after maybe a few months of a music starvation.

I finally caved and got James Blunt's CD and must admit that even though his song got oversaturated on the radio - it's *still* pretty to hear on the album. He's got a few other recognizable hits on there, but the good news is - the rest of the songs are GREAT. The instrumentals sound awesome, his lyrics are interesting and catchy.


Next up, i got Christina's double disc. I wish I loved the music more - but it's not like i'm regretting that I bought the album. She's got an awesome voice, hands down... but her songs are fairly surface level and predictable. Here's a song about my fans, here's a song about me still being edgy, here's a song about what i think of the press, here's a song about me getting married....

Lastly, i splurged on a third purchase before the other receipts' ink finished drying... All-American Rejects. I've got to say the VIDEO for Move Along sold me to their music. They're energetic and have a cool sound... and they have fun with their videos. Dirty Little Secret was the first song i heard from them, and thought it was pretty catchy for a no-name band... Anyway... i'm still getting used to the rest of the album... it's not one of those First-Listen-It's-Amazing albums, but it's so far not a disappointment either.

Well, there you go... hope this helps with your future music meal... :)

This is what happens when you spend too much time on the internet...

You try to create avatars that look like you... sort of.


Obviously they didn't have a boston terrier option... :p
