Brand New - Deja Entendu

I can't express enough how much I love this band and this album. I feel like it's the soundtrack to my life over the past year. I've been listening to Me Vs. Maradona Vs. Elvis over and over.


And over.


Such a great song, I love the melody and the chorus just gets to me. It just feels so familiar.

La Roux

I just barely started listening to her and I love her! Her music is a mix between electronic and indie rock.

You should check her out! This is actually an old CD but is just now becoming popular in America. Bout time yo!

Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth

This is a great album to play on a rainy day. Especially if you have to drive home in the rain accompanied with a billion other people who decided they need to get home from work too so the freeways are jam packed.

Yeah, it's a good album for that.

Gwen Stefani - Love Angel Music Baby

Oh Gwen, I love her! I even got my dad listening to her now! And a certain male coworker, ssshhhh!

Justin Timberlake - Future Sex/Love Sounds

I was never a real fan of NSYNC but I love me some Justin Timberlake!

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*

If you are a Tori Lover, this boxed set IS A MUST! What are you waiting for?

The Beatles - Revolver

Another remastered Beatles album that I just HAD to buy!

The Beatles - The White Album

Being the Beatles fanatic that I am, when I heard they had come out with the remastered copies of this and other Beatles' albums, I knew I was going to have to buy them.

I love The White Album, I only owned a copy of it before I purchased the remastered album and it just wasn't the same. There's something about owning the CD itself and looking at the leaflet inside and displaying it on your shelf.

I just love that.

Tori Amos - Under The Pink

Yes, more Tori.

Tori Amos - Boys For Pele

I've been going through all the albums on my IPOD and choosing my favorite songs to make a play list and I got stuck on this one. I included every single song as part of my favorites!

I play it over and over all day long. Sometimes you just need a little Tori in your life.

Fall Out Boy - From Under The Cork Tree

This is the first Fall Out Boy CD that I ever owned and this is the CD from which my love affair with FOB sprung.

Paramore - Brand New Eyes

Oh my sweet, sweet Paramore. You've stolen my heart and it is gone forever.

Tool - Aenima

I was weeding the flower beds the other day while listening to my ipod and this Tool CD came on. Man, I forgot how much I love this CD! Maynard is my home boy, seriously. There is nobody out there that will ever compete with Maynard. (Not counting his other bands or projects!)

It's great angry music and great thinking music!

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I will always be a Beatles fan! Even though they are oldies,their music never gets old! So if you're not a fan, you need to check yo'self!

Panic! At The Disco - New Perspective

I can't wait to buy Panic at the Disco's newest CD! The single "New Perspective" has been playing on the radio and I just love it!

Them me some Panic!

Sublime - 40 oz. To Freedom

I will always be a fan of Sublime, too bad Brad's gone because the world is missin out. I especially love listening to my Sublime albums during the summer, this is one of my favorites!

Their music is so hard to explain, it's a mixture of alternative, reggae, rap, blue grass and rock! The best of the 90's!

The Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D.

Ok I finally bought this CD because I loved their Boom Boom Pow song. The rest of the album is so fun! I seriously cannot help myself stop dancing whenever I listen to it. I won't mention the funny looks I get from other drivers when I'm listening to it on my drive home from work! I also won't mention the funny looks that Al gives me when I'm dancing in the passenger seat!

Tori Amos - Abnormally Addicted To Sin

And she's back! Whenever I hear a new Tori cd is coming out, it is just a given that I have to have it. I love Tori!

This new cd is one of her more mellow ones, unlike American Doll Posse which was full of addicting beats and melodies. But it is a good one, it's definitely old Tori and I think any Tori fan will love it! And if you buy the special addition like I did, you get a bonus DVD! Woot!

My Chemical Romance - Desolation Row

I can't wait until MCR comes out with their next album, but in the meantime, they've given me this lovely number from the Watchmen soundtrack.

The Beatles - Rubber Soul

Another one of my favorite Beatle's albums.

My favorite song on this one is "In My Life".
