what I'm listening to these days.

Ok,
This is a pointless blog where I tell you about music I've bought lately. Why? Because I can and because I want to. Descriptions will be brief.


Mayday Parade (self titled) - Suggested by Heather
Great CD. Catchy, poppy, fun to listen to.



The Fray (self titled)
Similar to their last album, although their cd layout is different, goes from fast to slow, but the fast isn't all that fast and the slow is down right melancholy. By the end of the cd you're left on a downer and wonder where your razor blades are...no but serioiusly. It's good, but not as good as the last.

This is a guilty pleasure CD, I loved the last and I like this one. I'm a sucker for that pop punk sound (insert missing Blink comment here and glad they're "back together")

I'm biased towards this guy, but that's because I know him personally. He's got a great voice, and huge musical talent.

This is one of those odd epic trippy albums, some great instrumental parts. The vocals are unique. Not bad though, just unique.

A good electronic album if I ever heard one. Just something to groove and get you going. It definitely moves you creatively .

Yeah this purchase was influenced by the Apple Ipod Shuffle commercial...and I don't care I'm happy with this purchase. Once again a great up tempo electronic quirky album. I dont care for all of the songs, but I did find my self singing along with most of them...yeah

This guy is the Christian Gavin DeGraw/John Mayer. His lyrics are cleaver and he's easy to listen too. Not a rock out CD, or a worship CD but its great music, and it's pretty deep too.

Great chill rock music to take with you on a long drive.

I kept telling myself I would not buy this because I was not impressed with one of their live late night preformances. I like it...oh well. so much for that idea. Thankfully this EP doesn't sound like they've sold out, I don't know what their live stuff is like now though.

Some other random crap i picked up was Pinball by Akira Kiteshil, a great little electronica ambeint piece. and Pop Ambient 2009 (Varioius Artist CD) makes for some great background music as you're working.

So there you have it folks, that is what I'm listening too.
