New Music Monday

When I got the new Mac one thing I was really excited about was starting over in itunes world. My old itunes was a little bit of a mess, very unorganized and sort of like it belonged to a crazy person. I had almost 6000 songs but i didn't even know what half of them were. Daren keeps reminding me that I can take the old computer in and have it mate with the new computer to transfer itune files, but for one thing...old itunes was also broken. And I'm having fun collecting new music.

So today I gathered old itune gift certificates that I have never used and new ones that I just got and asked everyone to recommend songs or bands. Also, I downloaded some stuff I've just been meaning to get. Here are my music lists for Monday...

Cd's & Songs I've recently aquired on my own:

Band of Horses - Everything All the Time

Matisyahu - Live at Stubbs

Cat Power - Jukebox

"Bang Bang" - Nancy Sinatra (don't laugh, I've always loved this song)

"Viva La Vida" - Coldplay (I know, I'm a total sellout)

"Where is my mind?" - Pixies

Grey's Anatomy 3-disc Original Soundtrack - Some of this music is really good, I especially love "The Story" by Brandi Carlile and "Ruby Blue" by Roisin Murphey
