Well, I promised a post about music, and here goes. :) This is inspired, of course, by the CD that Bobert made for me last week, and the 10 CDs I bought on Saturday... yeah, 10. I like sales. :)

First off, out of the stuff Bobert burned for me, I got the new Gorillaz CD. Good stuff, all around. I haven't really picked out a favorite song or two yet, but "Feel Good Inc." is a catchy little tune. :)

Now, the CDs I bought... :)

"Ferment" by Catherine Wheel - the only one of theirs that I didn't have previously, and I'm super glad I got it, cuz it's good. :)

"Stabbing Westward" by Stabbing Westward - the only one of theirs that I didn't have previously, and also their last CD. It's not as good as some of their earlier stuff (I think "Wither Blister Burn + Peel" will always be my favorite SW CD), but it's still not bad. :)

"The Dresden Dolls" by The Dresden Dolls - this was one that Bobert had given me, in its entirety, but the CD has a video on it (no, I still haven't bothered to watch it), and the CD case itself is pretty... plus there's lyrics in there... :)

"Zoso" / "IV" by Led Zeppelin - I dunno what people really want to call this. All I know is that I almost bought it on 8-track many years ago, when I had an 8-track player in my car. Now I finally have the CD. I know it's odd that I like Led Zeppelin, but in high school, I was the weird girl who listened to weird obscure new wave / early alternative, as well as listening to the classic rock that my friends liked. I'm eclectic. :)

"Hiding in Waiting" by Rosetta Stone - I had such a hard time not picking up everything with the Cleopatra logo on it. This one, though, I decided I had to have. :)

"Vive Le Rock" by Adam Ant - back in the day, I used to check out records from the library and copy them to tape. This was one of the ones I had copied. It's nice to hear it without the record noise and skips... :)

"Babylon and On" by Squeeze - I think I had this one on cassette, back in the day. I love Squeeze... :)

And then I bought 3 CDs for J, but put them all on my harddrive before I gave them to him... :)

"Archetype" by Fear Factory - I knew he didn't have this, cuz I borrowed the two that he did have from him a while back. Not totally my thing, but good nonetheless. And he likes them a lot. :)

"Portishead" by Portishead - because it's only fair that he gets the Portishead CD, since he was sweet enough to bring me the two he did have before we even went out... :) And Portishead just plain rocks... :)

"Guero" by Beck - because the copy he got wouldn't work in his computer... or my car... or my computer... so it was probably not a good copy... :) Good CD, overall, that reminds me of "Mellow Gold" and him of "Odelay"... mainly cuz I don't think he's heard "Mellow Gold"... :)

And, in other music news, I have LimeWire on my computer now, and ohmygod is it sick. I've already started collecting the Placebo songs that I don't have, because it's almost impossible to get their CDs here. I'm picking up random Interpol songs that I didn't even know existed! And I'm constantly cursing the idiocy of my fellow humans. I promise, "Don't You Forget About Me" is not by The Cure or any number of other bands you people list it under. *sigh*...
