I usually find that buying CDs gets classified under “want” instead of an actual “need.” That is, unless any one of my favourite artists just happens to be releasing an album. Then I must own it, no questions asked, no matter the price. I’m all for being frugal, but a girl’s gotta have some form of entertainment! (Another weakness of mine: concerts. Nothing beats live music. Nothing.)
It just so happens that two of my favourite artists are releasing albums in the next few months! Squee!! Jeremy Fisher is releasing his album, Goodbye Blue Monday, on March 27th. If you think his name sounds familiar, he’s the Canadian guy who rode his bike across Canada for 6 months, performing and raising money for “Tour des Femme,” which promoted bicycle transport and education for girls in Africa. He’s a really great guy, and he even helped me by promoting my HIV/Sexual Awareness campaign at one of his performances in 2005. :)
The next album coming out is Easy Tiger, by Ryan Adams on June 5th. The man is a frigging genius, and that’s all there is to it. This is his first official album in a while. In November 2006, he released 16 albums via streaming audio on his website. 16 full-length albums. Granted, most of it was crap, but a lot of it was pretty good.
Anyway, that’s $30 extra I have to budget for in the next few months!
Also, since I’ve installed a hits counter on my blog, I’ve noticed no one has actually visited in the 3 days since I launched this site. I wonder how I can infiltrate and make friends with all the other PF bloggers out there? Maybe I’ll go over to the blogs that I read regularily, and comment that I really like reading their posts, instead of being all annonymous about it.
