I’ve been branching out, now that I have been listening to my iPod at work.
I have noticed my music collection is a little redundant. Avril Lavigne is always good. And then I have lots of Christian praise music, but you can only listen to a few songs unless in the mood.
I’ve picked up the Album, “Say It” by Britt Nicole, featuring the well known “Set the World on Fire.”
The Diablo III overture from Blizzard was free. Every nerd will take free stuff.
Then, I have wanted “I’m Gonna Be” by the Proclaimers – the 500 miles song. So I nabbed it. Genius playlist pointed me to 1 exclusive iTunes track and a bonus track I didn’t have of Avril Lavigne, a cover of “Basketcase” live and “I always get what I want.” Basketcase is awesome!
On the radio, I heard “I kissed a girl” by Katy Perry. It got stuck in my head, and it reminded me of an old (better IMO) song by the same name from a decade ago… so I started looking into it. Katy Perry’s song has like 14 covers and 6 remixes. It’s bizarre. The original song it reminded me of is “I kissed a girl” by Jill Sobule. They both were only $0.99 each. Although the content makes me a little skittish. I know I shouldn’t like it that much.
Last but not least, I really love “In Blue” by the Corrs. I went searching for more Corrs music, but I didn’t find much that terribly great when I sampled, so I went for “Dreams — Ultimate collection” album. 24 songs, same low price, with a variety, but without all the albums. “All I have to do is dream” is a cover of an old 50’s (?) song. Really well done. That is an awesome song to dance to.
