2 albums

I admit it. I download a lot of cds. I dont really share them often, but I definitely download a bunch of mp3s..I do also buy cds, and buy mp3s..but sometimes, I simply snag em for free. So, that aside, 2 cds I actually bought (USED) a few months ago, have been just..playing almost non-stop in my car.

The first is Interpol - Antics. I had heard "NYC" of their first cd a while ago and liked it. And then "Slow Hands" was being overplayed of course. I also tend look at music from tv shows and movies I like and download a song or two from the film. The tv show, Grey's Anatomy, is not only a good show my wife and I like to watch, but it happens to have great music. On their website they actually list the songs they use by episode..very cool. I have not been able to find the theme song on any legal or "questionable" file sharing services. Anyways.."Evil" by Slow Hands was in an episode there, during a party scene..and its been in my head ever since. I listened to the cd at Rhino Records in LA in Westwood, and bought it. Its fantastic.

The other cd I bought, also at the same time, is Jem - Finally Woken. Again, a great album. Many of her songs have been on the radio here (speaking of which, Portland's 94.7 fm is TEN times the radio station LA's KROQ has been in the last 10 years). Coincidentally, she has been featured in Grey's Anatomy as well. Give em both a listen..

On a side note..when my DSL is up this weekend, Ill go back to posting more frequently. Meanwhile..the house is slowly coming together..very slowly.
