So I went shopping for my brother's birthday and I ended up buying him the Fallout Boy CD (I probably just didn't spell the name correctly) because I recognized the name as being somewhat trendy. This is about how all my music purchases go. I hear one song that I vaguely remember from the radio and I randomly buy the cd if it's on Wal-mart's 9.99 rack. Luckily for my brother, AK (who I defer to as my music aficianado) gave her stamp of approval to then entire Fall Out Boy album.
My most recent album purchases for myself were Gwen Stefani's Sweet Escape and Regina Spektor's (I forget the name). The impressions I have so far are that only the first two songs were any good for Gwen and when they decided to put some on the radio, they were forced into those two songs. Regina, I like more than two. Actually, Samson is one of my favorites and as far as I know, I have not previously heard it on the radio.
I tend to obsess about one song at a time and that's usually after about 1/2 of the world's population has already obsessed and are on to a new song. The song I like at the moment is Gym Class Heroes' Cupid's Chokehold. I tend to hum it while walking to the printer. There's some irony here too - I looked at their concert schedule and lo and behold they will be playing at Susquehanna Univ. and Penn, short drives from my old university. I tried to get people to go with me, but they refused saying that we were too old for spring flings at colleges. So I looked at the rest of their schedule and they'll be in Australia the rest of the summer. Sigh.
