More cds and listening to them!

And now for something completely different...

or not.

So i've been listening to my cds, one a day - more or less - all week and it's been a blast.

Throughout the day i've played through Jenny Lewis's album off and on while playing video games or goofing around the house. i havent really listened to the album since the first time i was going through it for my little project. The idea of revisiting something i bought that i havent given much thought to since is rare for me, mostly because in the past buying things has been rare to me. My new-found wealth is baffling to me, i still havent grown accustomed to it, well - i've grown accustomed to it, just not in every aspect of my life.

Either way. i ran into a snag - my sister has my Modest Mouse cd. So i'm putting that on hold until i can find it.

So the list for past listens looks like:
-Mon: Bob Dylan's Highway 61
-Tues: Miles Davis's Kind of Blue
-Wed: (skipped! :0 )
-Thurs: Mae's Singularity and Animal Collective
-Fri: The Beatles Love with a sister and friend over for dinner
-Sat: (skipped! :0 )
-Sun: Jenny Lewis's Acid Tongue

So in the future (i need my Bon Iver cd from a friend too!)
-Mon: Fiction Family and Andrew Bird's Noble Beast (! - awesome)
-Tues: Derek Truck's Already Free
-Wed: Graceland
-Thurs: Brett Dennen's Hope for the Hopeless
-Fri: Jimi's Electric Ladyland (Have you ever been? ...)
-Sat: Flaming Lips - Yoshimi!

i've been keeping track of NPR's best music of the decade head over the npr.org's music side if you want in. They have some great running commentary and i'm excited to see what they'll list as the best music of the decade.

Also there's a great paste blog with their pick for the top 50 albums of the decade and you can stream all of them!
