I got a few CDs I'm very excited about today:


My mom turned me on to Sparklehorse. I haven't listened to the whole CD yet, but I already like the sound of it. It's easy to get into, and I feel like I want to sit down and read the lyrics of most of the songs.
I loved Yusuf Islam back when his name was Cat Stevens. In fact, his best of album was one of the first tapes (yes tape) I ever owned. What I like about this album is that it retains all of the simplicity I used to love, but sheds a lot of the false naivete that even as an 11 year old I knew better than to trust.
One thing I love about both music and book stores is browsing. After I picked out the two CDs I was looking for, I strolled around picking up any interesting looking CDs. This was the only one worthy of making it to the checkout counter. I must say I'm very excited about listening to it.

Cat Stevens/ Yusuf Islam was one of my first tapes too. Moon shadow, oh wow! I loved that song even now! :)
