expand my music collection

I realized after I had been doing this one for a while that I was going about it all wrong. I was constantly coming up short in my searches for ‘new’ and ‘different’ music. I realize that I’m not particularly fond of unique sounds. So instead I took a time machine back to the 60s,70s, and 80s and headed toward Rock and Roll, Metal, and Pop. Problem solved. My music collection has grown very much over the last couple of months and I’m confident that it will keep on going. Goal Accomplished.

Last week’s finds went over fairly well, so I decided to do the same thing this week. I started Saturday and have already found a bunch of stuff I’m really liking:

Carole King-I had no clue that I loved her songs. She sings the Gilmore Girls theme song too. What’s not to love about that!?

Elizabethtown Soundtrack-That movie is just going to be ‘it’ for me. I love Etown and I’m already in love with the picture, even though it’s not out yet. The soundtrack is great.

Ok Go-I finally got around to picking up the album. See their video. Very Napoleon. Awesome plus ten.

I also Ituned some random country songs. Merle Haggard, Pasty Cline, George Straight among the folks. I’m not too fond of this genre, but by finding a common ground with country music, I’m killing two goals with one task. Works for me.

Blues Traveler-”Bastardos!”

Eric Clapton-”Best Of” (I’m a little disappointed though. It’s got the wrong version of Layla on it.)

Pink Floyd-”Dark Side of the Moon” (If any of you get a chance to see the light show, go. It’s amazing)

Alice Cooper-”School’s Out (and other hits)”

And the best/silliest by far:

Vanilla Ice-”Best of”
