new music
i bought some new CDs this weekend, and i can't get enough of them.
1. city and colour
this is dallas green's (lead singer of alexisonfire) solo stuff. i'm pretty sure it's just him, and not a band, but he goes by 'city and colour.' it is AMAZING! i loved it instantly and probably listened to it at least 5 times the first day. it is acoustic stuff, and completely opposite from his screaming alexisonfire stuff. if you like acoustic, mellow music, you'll love this CD. he's coming to toronto to do 3 shows and i want to go, but i don't know anyone else who knows his stuff. everyone needs to buy this CD!
2. imogen heap
she is the female singer of frou frou, who sings the song 'let go' from the garden state soundtrack. you know which one. i had downloaded some of her songs before buying the CD, but i wasn't immediately attracted to it. i bought the CD anyways because it was the only other one i wanted in the 2 for $25 deal at HMV (city and colour was the other one). it's really good too, but i listened to it after city and colour, so it had big shoes to fill.
3. bloc party
i haven't even had a chance to listen to this CD yet since i've been so preoccupied with the first two. now i feel like i won't even give it a fair chance because all i'd want is for the CD to be over so i can say i listened to it and then switch back to the other ones. from what i've heard about them, they're good.
on another music-related note, james blunt is coming to toronto to do a show. but it's the day before the coldplay concert. i've never done concerts back to back before, but first, i have to find someone who wants to go. i'm going through a concert dryspell, i need my fix.
when i was at HMV, a jack johnson song came on, and this is the conversation i had with the salesgirl ringing through my purchase:
salesgirl: oh i love jack johnson.
me: me too. i can't wait for the curious george soundtrack to come out.
salesgirl: oh is he on that?
me: yeah, he did the whole thing.
me (in my head): how can you NOT know that if you claim to love jack johnson so much. and you work at hmv. no excuses.
if i could work at hmv and make enough money to live the lifestyle i want, i would. but then again, so would hundreds of other people.
