Updating My iPod – Removing Tori Amos
I’ve been running my iPod on shuffle a lot lately, which I love when I don’t have anything specific I want to listen to. The problem with shuffle is you run into all kinds of things you maybe don’t want to listen to anymore. I often find myself thinking “oh, I’ve missed this song”, but [… Read More]
Reuniting Bands…
Over the weekend, a friend posted on facebook about Soundgarden reuniting, to which I thought “ew!” and went about my day. Then I heard it again on the radio this afternoon, and it made me think a bit more about how I feel about bands that reunite. Full disclosure is that I am kind of [… Read More]
Meet Me In The Red Room – Amiel
Album: Moulin Rouge 2 Soundtrack (for clarification, there are actually 2 separate soundtracks for Moulin Rouge, this is from the second one, it is not a movie sequel to Moulin Rouge) I’m a big fan of the movie Moulin Rouge. I own the movie itself, and have both soundtracks. Even though I haven’t listened to [… Read More]
Turn of Seasons – Amber Oak
Album: Your Missing Piece Genre: Alternative Rock I hadn’t heard of this band at all prior to hearing this song. I ran across it when I was going through songs available for free download through Amazon…the 30 second sample was good enough that I decided to download it. I’m not entirely sure that I can [… Read More]
I’ll Be Okay – Amanda Marshall
Album: My Best Friend’s Wedding Soundtrack Kind of like how I have a no embarrassment music policy, I have the same policy with movies. I love the movie My Best Friend’s Wedding. Is it pure chick flick? Absolutely! But it’s a fun movie and I really do enjoy it. Back when that movie came out [… Read More]
The Airborne Toxic Event
Genre: Rock Sometimes I am guilty of judging a band by its name. Your band name says a lot about you, in my book, hence why I knew before I even heard My Chemical Romance that I didn’t like them. It stuck, btw, they are totally not my kind of music in the slightest. Anyway, [… Read More]
The Ultimate Collection – Aimee Mann
Genre: Alternative & Punk This is the greatest hits collection of Aimee Mann’s stuff, although it’s kind of outdated. It came out in 2000, so the newest thing on it is Wise Up, which was on the Magnolia soundtrack. I’m sure when they some day release a newer one for her, it’ll have a lot [… Read More]
@#%&*! Smilers – Aimee Mann
Genre: Pop (see, weird, cuz don’t you have to be popular to be pop? she’s awesome, but not necessarily popular) This is Aimee Mann’s most recent album, and as a result, the one I have listened to the least. This is both because obvs, it hasn’t been around as long, but also because I have [… Read More]
Magnolia Soundtrack – Aimee Mann
A good portion of the songs on this album are also on Bachelor No. 2, so much of it is a review. Still, there are a few new songs and as usual, they are lovely! In some ways, I think Aimee Mann is probably one of the most movie’d musical artists that no one knows [… Read More]
Someone at Apple has been reading this blog…
Okay, probably not really, but a girl can dream can’t she? I downloaded iTunes 9 yesterday and because my computer automagically rebooted three times in the last 24 hours, upon opening iTunes today I got to experience the fun of the newest version. I’m not entirely thrilled with the new look, mostly because I can’t [… Read More]
