- meiko (thanks kcrw!)
- the eames era (thanks skims!)
- lots of coldplay. mostly parachutes and viva la vida. (thanks to the bear, who used to serenade me with yellow before they got all big and known).
- the alchemist by paulo coelho audiobook. read by jeremy irons. be still my heart--the accent. i was afraid i would picture evil uncle scar the whole time while listening, but luckily i don't. this is my first time really listening to an audio book. i'm totally more jaded than the last time i read this fresh out of college, but there are still lots of quotable lines and more micro lessons to be re-learned even if one isn't so sure about its macro message anymore. still inspiring. still poetic prose despite translation. (thanks itunes free downloads!)
- old school 2pac.
- o.g. no doubt. tragic kingdom, that is.

just listen
my tunes are currently refreshed thanks to the iphone and new itrip (fanboys, i KNOW the proper capitalization is iPhone, but i don't follow capitalization rules on this blog, obvs. i'm lazy). for the first time in YEARS. let's just say i haven't really downloaded music since napster started charging. i have bought a few CDs, the bear has gifted me with some downloads, and that's about it. my ears are so happy.

I still listen to Tragic Kingdom in my car.
ReplyDeleteI think I like meiko! Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteTragic Kingdom rules.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of Viva la Vida? I'm not that impressed. There are like 3 songs that I like. The rest? Meh.
ReplyDeletei actually feel weird when i type "iPhone" because of my own refusal to follow capitalization rules online ;)
ReplyDeleteTragic Kingdom is amazing. The iPhone brought back my love of music after my car CD player broke.
ReplyDeletei bought viva la vida (haven't listened to all of it yet), but before that, i can't remember the last cd i purchased. instead, itunes is my best friend ;)
ReplyDeleteglad you're enjoying the new phone!
No "It's Britney, Bitch"?
ReplyDeleteSome of the new crap isn't even worth it. I'd stick to old school :)
ReplyDeletehello! found you thru diabolina! :)
ReplyDeletei'm a big fan of audiobooks! especially the entire harry potter series! jim dale reads and while it's not sexy, it's a lot of fun! brings out the kid in me.
curious about the alchemist. have been a lazy reader these days but need something to read besides teen books like Twilight.
Hmmm... must check out Meiko. Since I lurve everything else on your list. What's your fave Viva La Vida song? I'm digging Lost! at the moment...but the Japan one is also a winner.
ReplyDeleteI don't even have an iPod to update. Way behind the times, yo. :)
ReplyDeletewow, you blog. consistently. archinerd life might really challenge that discipline. anyway, i just like got updated on about five months of your life. and see that you have short hair. it's been awhile! so to actually relate to your post - i have other music recommendations... =) we'll have a swap soon.
