Between Friday and Wednesday I was on a music shopping spree. You know what that means! Imma babble on about what I bought. :D NOMNOMNOM MOOSIKS. HOW I LOVE AND PINE FOR YOU. ♥
I bought 11 albums/eps, but 2 of them I'm not going to cover as I haven't even gotten a chance to properly listen to them yet. My weekend was spent grocery shopping (it was more intense than it sounds, really) and with family (read: my mom telling my sister's boyfriend embarrassing stories about both my sister's and my childhood. orz).
My parents want us all to go camping this summer. Help! They said something about a cabin, so I could lug some gaming systems with me, but still! I'm not an outdoorsy person. And besides, my sister and nephew just moved out back in late February. I don't think I could survive an entire weekend with them both anytime soon and still keep my sanity intact. :(
Anyway, onto music talk.
Adam Lambert - Remixes → Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head → Coldplay - Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends
Daniel Kandi - Make Me Believe / I Found the Way → Nitrous Oxide - North Pole / Frozen Dreams → OceanLab - Sky Falls Down
Oliver Smith - Nimbus / Tomahawk → Robbie Williams - Reality Killed the Video Star → Snow Patrol - A Hundred Million Suns
Firstly, Adam's remix ep. Not gonna lie, I mostly bought it because I wanted Voodoo and I'm a sucker for completion. I don't buy just one song off of something. If I do, I end up wanting the entire thing a short while later. I did that forever ago with Snow Patrol's Eyes Open album (which I love to bits) and learned my lesson. Anyhoo, as a whole the EP isn't bad. The remixes are pretty good and I can say that while not something I'd listen to a lot, I'd still listen to it more than once or twice. I prefer the remixes of For Your Entertainment over the ones of Whataya Want From Me, but it's pretty solid nonetheless. Voodoo, however? /repeats forever
I've been meaning to give Coldplay an honest try for a long while now since I like both Clocks and Viva la Vida a lot. I went ahead and bought the albums they were on while it was on my mind. I like both albums, but I'm a bit more into the sound they have going on in Viva la Vida than I am with the sound in A Rush of Blood to the Head. In all fairness though, I've found several songs on both that I like just as much as the songs I bought them for (Life In Technicolor, Cemeteries in London, Lovers In Japan, Daylight, Amsterdam...). I liked Viva la Vida from the start, but it took until Daylight for me to really get into A Rush of Blood to the Head.
Daniel Kandi was an artist I first heard on last.fm radio. After hearing Child I decided to hop on Youtube and that's when I heard Make Me Believe. Simply amazing stuff. ♥ I hadn't heard I Found The Way prior to buying the ep and I have to say that it's breathtaking. The downturns/speed-ups are flawless and just, guhhhh. I love it.
I'd heard both North Pole and Frozen Dreams on last.fm radio and it had popped up under recommendations on iTunes. I decided to go ahead and buy it since you really can't go wrong with Anjunabeats. I like Frozen Dreams a lot more than North Pole, but both are great.
I love me some OceanLab. I love Above & Beyond and I love Justine Suissa. Therefore, I love OceanLab too. ♥ I just bought the title song though because the remix on the EP was the same as the one on Sirens of the Sea Remixed (which I already bought). Sky Falls Down is one of my favourite OceanLab songs. Second only to the Above & Beyond Club Mix of On A Good Day. Seriously, this song is fabulous. ♥
I believe I had heard Nimbus on last.fm radio, or maybe it was youtube, and then I saw this EP listed when I bought Sky Falls Down. I bought it as well since I really like Nimbus. It's funny though, I originally bought this for Nimbus and ended up liking Tomahawk a lot more. Both songs are great, but Tomahawk is just so much deeper than Nimbus.
I can't say as I dislike anything I've heard by Robbie Williams, and Difficult For Weirdos decided to make my head its new home (no really, it got stuck in my head worse than I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas did), so it seemed natural to buy this. The songs off of the album I can say I really liked at the time of buying it were the aforementioned song, Last Days of Disco, and Morning Sun. I didn't like Bodies at all at first, but after hearing it again it's become one of my favourite songs off the album. There's also much love for Arizona and Starstruck~ I quite like this album. There's nothing on it I can say I dislike.
I've been meaning to buy A Hundred Million Suns for a while now, but at the time I'd heard of it, Take Back the City was the only single off of it. I really didn't like Take Back the City, so I put off buying it. Then last week I heard If There's a Rocket Tie Me to It and decided to finally get the album. Ironic thing about that? Take Back the City is now one of my favorite songs on the album. It's a flawless album. I love all the songs on it, but I'm especially fond of The Lightning Strike (DAYBREAKKKKK! ♥x1000), If There's a Rocket Tie Me to It, Take Back the City, The Golden Room, Lifeboats, and Crack the Shutters. ♥
Both Broken Social Scene and Stars are releasing new albums before July. I'm so excited that I can't even---
