good tunes...

I've realized even more lately how much I truly enjoy music. Most of the time it doesn't matter what kind. I absolutlely cannot sit in silence. There's no way. I have to have noise. I noticed doing homework earlier this week (first be proud that I did my homework) but, I had to have my radio on.
But, here comes the tough part- I really love music, but I can't hardly afford all of the CDs that I want- but HOORAY! because, its Christmas season. That is what is on the vast majority of my Christmas list. I want CDs up the whazzoo (what's a whazzoo?). I already know what I'm getting from Laura- its Joss Stone's new CD which I am absolutely in love with. She is great, if you have time check her out.
I also discovered that my mother has been hiding some fantastic CDs from me all of these years. I love oldies, and you can blame my mom for that too. She has some great oldies CDs that I have been keeping with me in my car and just play eenie, meenie, miney, moe to pick which one to listen to next. Its great.
I have also been playing a game that I found online (see http://www.musicmini.com) Its a music game where you hear clips and deterimine the artist and song. I dominate- seriously- in the 60s I can clean house, as well as from about 1996-now. There are some shaky periods, for example, the expert level of the 80s I'm not so great at, but I am improving after playing the game for so long.
My addiction to music is wearing off onto my friends, which isn't horrible. For example- my friend Jeremy Hegg is in a band called Spooncat! perhaps you've heard of them, but if you haven't I highly recommend them. They're fantastic, and they just released a new CD. So, I drug Lisa along with me and now she is in love with Spooncat! herself. Good stuff, she bought two of their 4 CDs. I have all four, and she has borrowed a couple of them. Now, she wants them too : )
Last night Lisa, Stef, and I were sitting around watching TV and Maroon 5 was on Leno- GREAT STUFF!! My friend Jordan got me addicted to Maroon 5- I love them. I have thier first Album- Songs About Jane- and I have their live Album- that is great too. Oh, and the night before I was watching TV and Gavin DeGraw was on Carson Daily- whoo!! Even though it was a rerun I watched it, I love Gavin. I have loved him forever and finally radio stations are starting to play him around here.
I'm not sure what you want to call this- it is a "post" but of what sort I have no idea. Its just ramblings, but you read them, and you enjoy it! I know you did! So... now I am going to go. You'll miss me... but I shall be back!!
