Recent music revelations

I acquire quite a bit of music ever so often, and within the last month I have purchased six or so CDs (Yes, I’m old and don’t really like mp3s that much) and a few downloads. Here is my assessment of how music is these days.

  1. Pop music is getting better. “No Air” by Jordan Sparks and Chris Brown is my favorite radio song right now. I’m not ashamed to like a tween song because it’s also shown on BET J, so that’s alright.
  2. MySpace is a great place to find music. Just think about it. We got Lily Allen, the Ting Tings, Kate Nash out of it.
  3. MySpace is a horrible place to find music. I mean, anyone from your next-door neighbor to your friendly postal delivery worker can cut an album, post it and become billionaires.
  4. I’m beginning to like remixes than the originals these days.
  5. Santogold is still awesome. Goldfrapp records are hard to find locally.
  6. More people are jumping onto the Bird and the Bee bandwagon.
  7. I’m just rambling on music these days because I don’t have anything else of interest to write about.
