So the other day I went to the library to get some books, and found that they had a massive amount of CDs that I had never noticed before. (They were next the large print... Who the heck goes over there?) I started browsing through them and I found some artists that I recognized, so I checked them out. Here's what I got:
David Gray's 'White Ladder'
A while ago, I heard the second song on this CD, "Babylon" on my dad's Sirius Sattelite Radio. It's really awesome, you should check it out. Anyways, I bought that song off of iTunes, and have been listening to it, so when I saw this CD (for free, no less,) I knew I had to pick it up. I'm really liking it, it's a fusion between acoustic and folk and pop and rock. A very good CD.
Oasis's 'Don't Believe the Truth'
I've heard of Oasis before I picked this up, but I've never actually HEARD them. Before listening to this CD, I didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. All of the songs seem very original and catchy. So far, my favorites are "Turn Up the Sun" and "The Importance of Being Idle." I reccomend listening to those two, even if you don't buy them.
Beck's 'Sea Change'
I must admit, that the first place I ever heard any of Beck's music was in an episode of 'Futurama.' I liked it well enough, and it was right about the same time that his newest CD, 'The Information' was coming out, so I was planning to look him up somewhere on the internet to hear some of his music. I just never got around to it. This CD is great because, like David Gray, Beck uses Acoustic sounds combined with things like large string sections. I like it, it's complex but very relaxing.
In other news, I got the pie emblem! HUZZAH! I heard they're temporary, though. *sad* Oh well. At least for a little while, I have more than two emblems!
