I'm on a CD-buying frenzy! Just to recap:
Howie Day - Stop all the world now: Good disc. I am addicted to the song Collide, and the rest of the CD has a groovy, easy feel to it. Kind of like a pop-ish David Gray.
Andrea Bocelli - Amore: This one was for Lacey but I like it too. It goes without saying, that... Not classically trained? Pish, posh.
Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam: Only one thing kept coming to mind while I took in this CD, and that was badass. It grabs you from the first bar, and never lets you go. Great stuff.
Elizabethtown - Soundtrack: I loved the movie, and the soundtrack is pretty ok, too. Some really good songs on here, and some so-so ones. Reminds me of why I love Tom Petty and Elton John's music. Best track on here though is by Ryan Adams.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium: Haven't been able to get completely through both discs (28 tracks!) yet. From what I've heard, it's got some really good stuff, and I love the RHCP, so I'm sure I'll end up loving this.
Oh yeah, we also saw MI: 3. Good stuff. It was better than the 2nd, but I still prefer the 1st. Some really great action sequences, I just thought they could've come up with a better plot/dialogue, and used Keri Russell more. Course that could be said of most action movies, so for summer fare, it was above average. And that's amazing coming from me, since I detest Tom Cruise as a person (I just think he's a great actor and picks good movies).
