So my wife mentioned on her blog the other day (xanga.com/mrsmelton) that we buy too many CD's. That is, about 1 a month or so. Do any other music-loving husbands out there have the same problem? 1 a month CAN'T be too many! Regardless, it goes without saying that I have a number of CD's on my wishlist that have gone unpurchased in the last few months. So I'm putting it out there, my whittled down wishlist, and if anyone has any advice on which ones are the better, which ones aren't, etc. please feel free to help me prioritize these. In no particular order, here they are:
The Shins
Zero 7
Charlie Mars
Modest Mouse
Beck (his new one)
Keane
Franz Ferdinand
REM (newest one out there)
Cake (ditto)
So. Any thoughts? As always, your input is welcome.
By the way, have I mentioned yet on this blog how awesome Green Day's American Idiot is? Cause it freaking ROCKS! Ray Charles is talented and everything, but he only got the Grammy cos' he died. Green Day was robbed, and deserved album of the year. Start to finish, the thing explodes out of the case. My personal favorite track is the new one getting radio play called Holiday. Check it out. This is one concept album that really delivers.
