Don't Make Promises You Can't Keep

 I shouldn't say I"m gonna blog more when I bloody know full well I won't! You'd never think a blog page could get dusty... it feels dusty. Figuratively speaking.I see all these old entries and I know I haven't stepped in here in like forever.

What's changed? Um, well, Shib and I did adopt a new cat. Rather, she adopted the cat because I was, um, recovering from a party. She made a good choice, though. I'll put up some pics of Paisley soon. She's a cutie!

*    *    *

I made my first album purchases on iTunes last night. It's sort of a big step for me... I've always liked physically owning albums that I buy, and I've always been picky about sound quality. But I have other concerns now such as space (I have a ton of CD's to sell at Jelly's). And I just installed a new battery in my Generation 3 iPod and was dying to hear some good music.

So... earlier in the day when I was working out at 24Hour (Sundays are very nice... hardly anybody there), I heard Sara Bareilles' "Love Song" play. It got stuck in my head, and I just had to look it up when I got to Shib's place. Later that night, I bought her album over the iTunes store, and since I was in the mood for female vocalists, I got Rilo Kiley's "More Adventurous" as well. Good stuff. Bareille's album is definitely the poppier of the two, so it's good ear candy, but Kiley's got the cool indie-pop songs. I love "Pieces for Foxes." Makes me think of Grey's Anatomy every time.

Oh, and to top it off, I got Head East's single, "Never Had Any Reason."
Save my life I'm goin' down for the last time,
Woman with the sweet lovin' better than a white line.
How's that for a 70's rock nugget?

Anybody hitting the HIFF? Good films, but goddamn has it gotten expensive. $75 dollar for the basic membership and six tickets, and then $15 for additional tickets.

mg: HIFF is expensive, no doubt. Hmm, I wonder when you guys can see the cat? I'll put some pics up soon.

pan: What's that, Pan? You want an estro-mix CD so you can enjoy some of this music without anyone knowing? No problem! :D

rh: I still feel like I should pay the artist in some way for their work, especially if I really dig their music. It'd be a slightly different story if I was just "meh" about the music, though... There's always the public library and other sources for that :D

Congratulations on the new kitty! Please pass it on to Shibs.

I loved the idea of iTunes when the iPod first came out, I thought it was really made the iPod. The software made it really easy to rip and burn CDs. Then I bought some (singles) songs from the iStore and didn't really fully understand the extent of DRM. We reformatted the laptop where I had all my iTunes songs and now i'm unable to sync my iPod and iTunes. So they're independently in limbo. I've installed iTunes on my new computer but have now vowed to only purchase DRM free music from Amazon ($0.89!). It works seamlessly with iTunes... so far.

And welcome back!
