Oh look, new music...

Or new old music in some case. I had gone to Urban Outfitters in a quest for some jewelry related things and other stuff, and had gotten 50 Free Music Downloads for trying out emusic. So I figured I would use them tonight and get rid of them. It's rainy out, so it seemed like a good day for it. I downloaded:

-Treasure by Cocteau Twins
--some Johnny Cash, "Ring of Fire" and "Walk the Line."
--Mass Romantic by the New pornographers
--The Shins Bluegrass Tribute album
--an Ozomatli song
--Meet the Beatles by the Smithereens and
--the music from the Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince Guaraldi.

The Cocteau Twins is a classic from high school and early college. We used to listen to it, Led Zep and Jane's Addiction in the lit. mag office. My taped copy is off of a lp that a friend had. For reason I don't know, I never got any of their other cds. If any of you have an inkling which are the next ones to pursue, let me know. But, not a big deal.

Am a bit scared about the Shins Bluegrass album, but we'll see. Could be good, could be majorly crap.

Hmm, where did the weekend go and why haven't I gone to the grocery store? Well, was dreary and rainy when I got in so I wanted to stay in. I even made a list. Excuses, excuses. I got two calendars at least, which I know sad as it's almost February, but if I'm going to put them up, they'd better be pretty. I got the latest Maxfield Parrish one and Magic in the City, which is a black and white one which goes with my black and white bathroom.

Okay, I'm going to take Run DMC's "Walk this way" as a sign. A sign that I should be in my pjs, or a sign that I have an odd mix of music on my computer. Or possibly both.
