More Music, More Music

Thanks to John (www.oneambition.com) I'm fighting an urge to immediately download every musical track that I see. Kevin Max, Over the Rhine, Buddy Miller; or what's the name of that singer Jim loaned us who sounds like Billie Holiday?

Christian: Do you like Billie Holiday?

Cher: Ooh, I love him (as he looks at her incredulously).

--Clueless

I'm blaming this entirely on John. He got me to look at the recommendations on my Amazon.com account.

I do not download mp3s. If there's something I want I get Michael to download it for me, and thus far it's only been the occasional Waterdeep/Don or Lori Chaffer offering.

I'm fighting the urge by copying more cds to my laptop; ones that I already own. Here's a list of the CDs I'm adding to my laptop so I can have music with me wherever I go:

The Girl in the Other Room -- Diana Krall
Strong Hand of Love: A Tribute to Mark Heard -- Various Artists
Music from Baz Luhrman's Film Moulin Rouge! -- Various Artists
Barry and Michelle Patterson 2: So High
Getz/Gilberto: Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim
Music for Hot Summer Nights -- Various Artists (a CD we picked up at Tuesday Morning that turned out to be really good. It includes several good jazz tracks, but also Watermelon Man, a version of Norwegian Wood and a Gil Scott-Heron tune.)
Never Say Dinosaur -- Various Artists (it's a Petra Tribute)
Nico: Chelsea Girl
Across a Wire -- Counting Crows

I couldn't find Canticle of the Plain, or my Magnolia Soundtrack, which is the only reason those cds have not been included.
