I have decided that I am no longer going to buy CDs because it is a waste of paper, plastic and space. I will just download from Itunes going forward. I look at the pages of a CD booklet maybe once and then I struggle to find a place to keep the case. When you buy an album from Itunes you get the same pages that you would when buying a CD- it opens up on your computer. I like to know lyrics so that's the main reason I look at the booklet. For instance, Gabriella Cilmi's CD- I can't understand what she says, which can pose a problem when you're trying to sing along. I read the lyrics that I wasn't sure of and that was all I needed, but now I don't have to worry about finding a place for the CD case that I'm probably never going to need again.
I don't have a stereo so the way that I listen to music around the apartment is by putting my Itunes on shuffle. I love not knowing what song it will pick for me next! Sometimes it will play a song I had totally forgotten that I love! The thing that I don't like is when it shuffles to a Christmas song right in the middle of everything. I guess I should just take the time to separate the types of music, but I really don't feel like it! It's so funny when I'm in the other room and all of a sudden I hear Madonna singing Santa Baby!
Music is ESSENTIAL to a successful workout for me. A good beat gets me pumped! Here are 15 of the songs that provide me with that extra push while I'm exercising:
Discipline... NIN (Thank you, Jared!!)
My Life Would Suck Without You... Kelly Clarkson
The Fame... Lady Gaga
Faster Kill Pussycat... Paul Oakenfold f. Brittany Murphy
New Sensation... INXS
Shut Up and Let Me Go... The Ting Tings
Shake Your Pom Pom... Missy Elliott
Hombre... M.I.A.
The Way You Make Me Feel... Michael Jackson
Sunday Morning... K-OS
Misery Business... Paramore
Cobrastyle... Robyn
Jai Ho... A.R. Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire Sdtk.)*
Superstar... Jamelia
Fantasy... Mariah Carey f. ODB
*Does anyone else think it's weird that The Pussycat Dolls have already remade this song?! It's not even different- just dumb!! Why did they let them do that?!
Here are two songs I'm really into right now if anyone else wants to give them a listen... Around the Bend by The Asteroids Galaxy Tour and Heartbeats by The Knife.
Without music I should wish to die.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Amen, sista!!
