have you heard this?

well, a lot of the past month has been spent with flat stanley, but i've also been downloading lots of music. here's what the last few weeks have brought to my hard drive:

Fergie - The Dutchess (catchy, yet annoying. what a combination)
Leonard Bernstein - Mass (sang most of it in high school. ah, the memories)
Radio 1's Live Lounge
Corinne Bailey Rae - Corinne Bailey Rae
Muse - Absolution
The Shins - Wincing The Night Away
The Kooks - Inside In Inside Out
Robin Thicke - The Evolution of Robin Thicke
James Morrison - Undiscovered
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
Paolo Nutini - These Streets
Lily Allen - Alright Still
Nerina Pallot - Fires
Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
Tracey Thorn - Out of the Woods
Mika - Life in Cartoon Motion
Lucinda Williams - West
Kings of Leon - Because of the Time
Rich Boy - Rich Boy
Musiq Soulchild - Luvanmusiq
Timbaland - Shock Value
Jennifer Lopez - Como Ama Una Mujer
Kaiser Chiefs - Yours Truly, Angry Mob

i also downloaded some new age-y stuff to listen to when i want to be still for a while, and a couple of singles by other artists. phew. looking at the list, i'd say i have enough to keep my ears occupied for a while.

i've decided to listen to the full albums instead of always skipping to the one or two songs i know. feels as if i'm getting more out of each artist (or in fergie's case, listening to the same song over and over) that way. really enjoying it, although i find i don't listen to as much music as i used to. just at the gym and in the car, mostly. it's hard to put on music at home when the walls are so thin.

if anyone has suggestions about a particular artist, band, whatever that they really enjoy, let me know. i'm always interested in hearing new (to me) stuff. much thanks to JR, who told me about the kaiser chiefs tonight. i'll be downloading their first album when i add more money to my account...

i think the first kaiser chiefs album is better than the new one. ditto with the modest mouse. nice choice with the amy winehouse and lily allen.

ya know, mr cowboy, you're not the first one to say the first kaiser chiefs album is better--i say the second is more "mainstream" sounding than the first. i'm gonna listen to the one i have, then probably dl the first one next week...

wow. I have a lot of the songs/albums on this list.

I love Bombay on the Shock Value CD.
