Birthday Music
For my birthday last Saturday, a few people were generous enough to give me itunes gift cards, so I had the thrill of going music shopping. I love music shopping, but rarely get a chance to do it these days. The first step in any of my musical treasure hunts is to think about the good music recommendations of music lovers I respect in the blogging world or friends who have shared with me new music they are listening to, then I comb the itunes, amazonmp3, and Paste websites for music that speaks to me, and by the time I’m finished Iusually have some good songs, and in some rare cases, some good albums (don’t you know that nobody buys albums anymore?). So in light of all that, here is some of the music I’ve purchased electronically thanks to yours truly turning 34 last Saturday:
Sister Hazel (album) – Release
The Boxer rebellion (MP3) – Soviets
Lady Sovereign(mp3) – Jigsaw
Skillet (mp3) – Monster
Skillet (mp3) – Hero
Third Eye Blind (mp3) – Bonfire
Making April (mp3) – So bad
Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Album) – It’s Blitz
Toby Mac (mp3) – City on our knees
And I still have credit left! Anything else I should buy?

I only buy albums. I hate the clutter of individual songs. Plus I usually find songs that I love even more than the one or two that drove me to buy the album in the first place.
