Franz Ferdinand (Self Titled Album)

This is another album that I happened upon in the used CD section at Grey Whale. I loved their newest CD so I thought I'd try out their old one and I love it too! You've gotta keep an eye out in the Used CD section, you can find some real gems!

Here is the track list:

1. "Jacqueline"
2. "Tell Her Tonight"
3. "Take Me Out"
4. "The Dark of the Matinée"
5. "Auf Achse"
6. "Cheating on You"
7. "This Fire"
8. "Darts of Pleasure"
9. "Michael"
10. "Come on Home"
11. "40'"

My favorite song on the album is "Take Me Out", listen to it HERE

Justin Timberlake - Justified

Wandering around Grey Whale the other day, I happened across Justin's first CD, Justified. I'm a sucker for CDs, so I snagged it.

I loved his second album, Future Sex Love Sounds, so I that for $5? Why not. I listened to it over the weekend while I cleaned the house, and it definitely kept me going (and dancing)!

I love "Cry Me A River"

Linkin Park - Not Alone

After Linkin Park heard of the disaster that happened in Haiti, they resurrected a song they started three years ago called "Not Alone". It is available to download only and encourages fans to donate to the Haiti relief. It is a great song, it's one of their softer songs, which I love!

Linkin Park, along with Alanis Morissette, All-American Rejects, Dave Matthews Band, Enrique Iglesias, Hoobastank, Peter Gabriel, and others have all contributed to the "Download to Donate for Haiti" compilation.

Go to "Music For Relief" to download the album. 100% of the funds will help fund various Haiti Relief organizations.

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

I love old school Smashing Pumpkins. This album came out in 1993 and was SP's breakthrough album. I'm sure everyone has heard "Today" and "Disarm", they are classics! By listening to the first 2 tracks of the CD, "Cherub Rock" & "Quiet", you may be thinking the CD is all grungy but as you listen further it's really anti-grunge.

Here is the full track list:

1. Cherub Rock
2. Quiet
3. Today
4. Hummer
5. Rocket
6. Disarm
7. Soma
8. Geek U.S.A.
9. Mayonaise
10. Spaceboy
11. Silverfuck
12. Sweet Sweet
13. Luna

A Piano: The Collection - Tori Amos

Oh my God, there is so much music here I don't even know where to start. Yes Jeanne, 5 CDs is a lot to take in!

My husband gave this to me for Christmas and it wasn't easy to find! I just LOVE the packaging for this collection, look how gorgeous.



It even has Bösendorfer written on the side, which Tori has named the best piano in the world. These pianos follow Tori everywhere!













“All I knew was -- when I touched her -- that she became my friend. And it's not as if it were one piano, it's any Bösendorfer seems to have some kind of um, understanding. They can speak, and they can listen. And I think, when you play them, you become an extension. They give you the opportunity to, anyway. If you don't choose to have a relationship -- an affair -- with them, then that is your loss, I guess.” -Tori Amos

I've never played on a Bösendorfer but I hope to some day. You know, when I'm rich and can afford a 9 foot grand piano!! *drooling*

This collection has everything including 10 previously unreleased tracks along with some alternate takes of a few Tori classics. There are 5 CDs with 86 tracks and it also includes a book about the songs and albums.
