Went a little crazy on ITunes tonight. Once again, this is my deal…I listen to the 30 seconds they give. Usually I get 7-10 seconds into it and then I either buy it or I don’t. These are the ones I did buy tonight. That being said…I’m sure at least one of these is crap. Let’s find out…shall we?
8. My Morning Jacket - Touch Me I’m Going To Scream Part I
This will probably be the only album I buy at the store this week. This song is pretty strong and the entire album is getting pretty good reviews!
7. Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl
The 30 secs sounded pretty good. Tight pop rock in the same vein as Avril Lavigne or The Faders. Not bad…
6. Alanis Morissette - Incomplete
Seriously, I almost didn’t even bother checking this album out. But this little gem sounded pretty good. Fortunately, it IS pretty good. Typical Alanis though…
5. Lil Wayne & Static Major - Lollipop
I guess I’m a little behind in the rap genre. Didn’t even know about this track which is hitting it pretty big right now. I really like the beat, but I’m not feeling the whole track. I’m getting to the point where rap is sounding stale to me though…so I’ll defer to a younger generation on this one.
4. Death Cab For Cutie - Long Division
I really, really want to like Cutie…but this track is kinda average. I liked “I Will Possess Your Heart” better.
3. Minus The Bear - Fine + 2 Pts
This Seattle band hasn’t really hit it big yet except in Seattle, but this track is really, really good. Unfortunately the EP its off of was released back in 2004…so I’m getting a late start on this one. But definately check this one out!
2. Plump DJs - Intermission
I really like this little short and sweet bit of techno. Of all of them, this might be my favorite purchase tonight!
1. Usher feat Jay Z- Best Thing
Well…here it is. The crappy song I was talking about. I’ve been reading how unremarkable this album is and I was hoping that I would find a diamond in the rough. Unfortunately Jay Z can’t add much to this lackluster track. Boring stuff from Usher. Maybe Chris Brown HAS replaced him as the next MJ…
Next week, all I can say is Coldplay. That’s gonna be about it. And I WILL be buying it at the store. Sorry ITunes…but I gotta have the whole package on this one! I’m sure I’ll review it, then you can decide if you should buy or download! Until then…happy listening!
