Well, I am always a little behind in my technology jumps, but today I purchased a MP3 player after my CD Walkman finally pooped out on me... I bought the smallest possible memory (512 MB) and I am completely amazed at the fact that something the size of a cigarette lighter can hold almost 350 songs. This must be how my grandparents felt about 8-tracks.
Now, here's the problem: as of right now, I have 28 songs loaded.
I feel totally out of touch with new music and of course can't seem to recall much of what I used to like... so, if you have any recommendations- new music, old music, individual songs or your favorite group, I would appreciate any direction!
Thanks everyone!
Check out anything by Arcade Fire. I think they are amazing. We burned a CD for my friend Julie & put it on at her birthday party & everyone kept asking us about it. Also, (this was my fave from last year) Death From Above 1979. They are awesome & it is even better when you realize it is just a bassist & a drummer making all that noise. I like the Kaiser Chiefs album, very British & poppy, just fun - but not "the best" musically. I have not really bought anything recently otherwise...although, I want to check out the New Pornographers, everything I have heard from them I have liked. Also, if you have never listened to Death Cab for Cutie, check them out too.
