Like a Kid in an (iTunes) Shop
My fabulous siblings bought me iTunes gift cards for my birthday. So, I had $55.00 to spend. I was excited about it - probably abnormally so. I've spent about half of it so far. I got some old stuff (Johnny Cash, New Order), some new stuff (Lily Allen, M. Ward, Animal Collective), and some weird stuff (Who else but Morrissey would release a song called "Something is Squeezing My Skull"?)
I am accepting song recommendations* if you know of a song that will change my life. My friend Leslie told me that the song "Pink Moon" by Nick Drake would change my life and in fact it did not. I had to hound her for the better part of a year until she finally gave me my dollar back. So keep that in mind before you toss some crappy little ditty my way.
I promise I'll post a more meaningful blog entry later this week. Right now most of my energy is being funneled into entertaining my mother, who is visiting from Oklahoma (where the wind comes sweeping down the plains).
*Unless it's a country song, and then I'm not.

Bill borrowed my iPod to see what new music I had added and pointed out that I could listen to my iPod all day for a year straight and not hear the same song twice.
Guess what I won- a 120G iPod- which was extra lucky because I think my current one is about to die and is full.
And there are some good country songs out there.
Yes, it was a bad brain day!
Anything by Mazzy Star on the Tonight That I Might See album is great.
But it's a fun "hey, we all can jive to this" song.
I dare you to not, at the very least, tap your foot to this song.
