What I Am Listening To
April 5, 2012
I’ve recently bought a few new mp3’s AND a new cd – yeah a REAL one people – so I thought I’d talk about it. I’ve bought a lot of new books too – big surprise there – and I’ll talk about those later. Anywho – here’s my new music (that yes I do burn onto cd’s for music mixes):
1. “Boys of Summer” – Don Henley
2. “Thank U” – Alanis Morissette
3. “Daydream Believer” – The Monkees (RIP Davy Jones – *tears*)
4. “Hang On Now” – Kajagoogoo
5. “Vogue” – Madonna
6. “The Next Time Around” – Roger Voudouris (The B side to the popular “Get Used to It” – I like this one better)
7. “Waiting For A Star To Fall” – Boy Meets Girl
8. “Get Outta My Way” – Kylie Minogue
9. “All For You” – Sister Hazel
10. “The Circle Game” – Joni Mitchell (featured in the thirtysomething episode about Michael and Hope’s housewarming party)
11. “River” – Joni Mitchell (featured in the Christmas episode – season 1 – of thirtysomething)
12. “Breathless” – the Corrs
Those are the mp3’s I’ve bought from Amazon. I used to do the Napster thing, but Amazon is easier and Napster went under. Here’s the album I bought:
1. “Gloryland” – Anonymous 4
This is their second album of what I would call classical American music and really it’s music of many cultures that have come together in a unique sound. I really like it and even better – I only paid $6.50 for it! Yeah – you can find bargains galore if you’re looking for them :-).
I still haven’t made strides to buy any 70’s music yet to start that collection – it’s so hard to choose sometimes. The 80’s music was so much of an ingrained part of my life that it has been much easier to pick music out from that decade. Happy listening!

What is this... "B side" of which you speak?
A touch and go list for me, really. Don't like the newer stuff at all, and we all know how I feel about Madonna. Still, Boys of Summer and Waiting for a Star to Fall are all good.

Oh yeah - you don't know about "A" and "B" sides - of singles. As in 45 rpm records :-). I always listened to the B sides just in case it was a good song. If you took the five singles that REO Speedwagon released from Hi Infidelity, you'd have the whole album I believe.
You like "Waiting For A Star To Fall"??? Really?? I thought that was one you didn't like. Huh - will wonders never cease. :-)
