::new music tuedays::

sorry to miss the regular post yesterday. check my livejournal to understand i was in a really crummy mood & couldn't even think i was so upset. today has been much better. a thousand times over, i think. yeah.

care of itunes music store and my keen eye (ha ha) i've decided to peruse the new releases to see what's out there & what's interesting. hopefully you'll get something out of it too.

first, don't laugh, i noticed miss lisa loeb decided to tell us "the way it really is". while i enjoyed enough of the reality bites soundtrack & "stay", i can't say that there's been much of a draw to her since the high school years. of the samples i put my ear to, "will you wander" sounds like the diamond in the rough of the 11 songs i tasted. in fact, i listened to it about 3 or 4 times. very singer-songwriter. nice guitar tone. gentle, blushing, chord changes. itunes lets you buy individual songs! izn't zat vonderful?! ya! the whole song is wonderful. incredible harmonies, contrapuntal vocal lines (who else is singing, i want to know!), very warm, beautiful over all. worth every penny of the 99 cents. wish she could be more consistent, but that'll go for jonatha brooke circa "plumb" as well. where did she wander off to?

er, reo speedwagon must've run short on cash as they are subjecting us to "the essential reo speedwagon". i liked them back in, say 1985. but, they've had their hey-day and i'm not even going to listen through the samples.

i'd like to continue this, especially since josh just called & told me about a new sam phillips record, and i stumbled on k.d. lang's recent "hymns of the 49th parallel", but sushi calls and i could use a good dinner with my hubby.
