Tues Reviews

Today was one of those days I didn't get everything I wanted accomplished, but things I didn't expect to do were done.  I didn't get (or I haven't yet gotten) a chance to sit down and write music.  However, I did clean and vacuum my apartment.  For anyone that knows me and has been to my apartment, this was a HUGE deal.  I also did not get to work today seeing as it has rained, at times very hard, all day since I finished my meetings this morning.  But I did buy some new music.

The first is Ryan Adam's Gold from 2001.  I had heard "New York, New York" just before 9/11, but I never really paid attention.  After the album was recommended by a friend of mine, I decided to give it a shot.  I have been pleased.  Adam's acoustic-rock is fantastic, and at times almost country.  If you like rock and country (or even just a little of both), this is something to give a chance.  I love it when someone recommends music to me and they are right!

Next on the list is Coldplay's EP follow up to Viva La Vida.  I loved VLV, but there were things I felt were missing.  Coldplay filled in the gaps with Prospekt's March.  There are lyrics to "Life in Technicolor."  The first time I heart "Lost" I thought Jay-Z was going to come in for the second verse.  Here, Jay-Z himself does come in in the second verse - funny how that worked out.  If you haven't purchased VLV already, get the expanded version with Prospekt's March on there too.

Finally, I got Britney Spears' "Womanizer."  Maybe I like it because I have been a womanizer in the past.  Maybe it's just a fun song that I don't have to think about too much.  Either way, I enjoy it.  Poke fun if you like, I'm not changing my mind.  It was $.99 well spent.

Give these music selections a go, and let me know what you think.  If you have any music you think I would enjoy, I covet your recommendations.
