Music Monday: Finders Haul

I keep a  list of CDs I want in my e-mail so I can access it anywhere and if printed would be a few pages long. Once I get some thing I highlight it and then eventually delete it. That list will always be long, very long, but the list of CDs I want NOW is usually much shorter. Like one CD that I cannot get out of my head and maybe one more that comes out soon that I am pumped for and playing out their singles online. This past week that list started to grow to 6 or 7 and I decided it was time to use up all of those credit card rewards I had sitting there and go to Finders. Here is what I got:

Pretty awesome huh? I got to keep adding stuff, and adding stuff, and then with the coupons they are giving out I got to add a few more! Sweet. I haven't had a music haul like this since I left Finders and went CRAZY. (That was much much larger but since then it has been purchasing 1-3 here and there) I got almost every CD on my immediate obsession list and quite a few that have been on the longer list for a few years. The first CD I listened to in the car was Foster the People, and in case you haven't heard them yet, they are great.

On a related note- I left thinking "with all this new music I don't feel tempted to listed to Christmas Music AT ALL. I could probably make it to December!" And then today this showed up in my inbox. Yeah thats right, a preview track for She & Him's Christmas Album. I still like The Letterman's version of this song a lot more but this has not dampened my excitement for this album at all- it just made me want to listen to Letterman's Christmas CD. Aww dang.



New Releases for tomorrow some may be interested in:

• Paul Simon- Songwriter- this is a collection of songs chosen by Paul who has always considered himself a songwriter first, and I would consider him a pretty amazing one at that. AOL creatively put "Sounds like: Simon and Garfunkel" No really?
• Marketa Irglova- Anar- She is the girl from Once and Swell Season. Should be pretty nice.
• William Shatner- Seeking Major Tom- I have no clue what this is but I thought you should know that William Shatner has a CD out called Seeking Major Tom...maybe it will be all Bowie covers? Who knows.
• Ryan Adams Ashes & Fire
• Mayer Hawthorne- How Do You Do- YAY! If this is anything like his last one it is some great, full and fun music...get excited!
• Evanescence- Evanescence
