Gavin and Sara

First of all, I absolutely LOVE U2!!!  They are my ultimate, favorite band ever!!!  I don’t feel that I’m cheating on Bono in writing about 2 REALLY GREAT CDs.  It’s a different kind of love…

In this age of digital downloads, I STILL buy CDs.  Call me old fashioned or just old but there is something about holding the lyrics in your hand (it’s probably the English degreed person within) that I REALLY dig. Or hearing and falling in love with a song that NEVER gets radio play.

So, I got Gavin DeGraw’s newest CD (Make A Move) for Christmas.  GREAT present!  Since then, this CD has been playing in a continous loop in my car.  I found that after listening to the ENTIRE CD (which is the rule for CD listening the first time through) that I LOVE it and there is a “sweet spot” starting at #5 and continuing until the end of the CD.  Not that the first 4 songs aren’t great (my JESSE song is #1!) but I paticularily like from #5 on.

I bought myself the new Sara Bareilles CD (The Blessed Unrest) for Valentine’s Day.  BEST PRESENT EVER!!!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this CD.  First off, it starts with my WALKING song and there are other songs that I absolutely LOVE!  Haven’t found a “sweet spot” yet (I’ve only been listening to it a few times through) but it will play in a continuous loop for awhile so I have time.

So these 2 CDs are ABSOLUTELY great.  So mostly this is what I have been listening to since Christmas.  I DO give it a rest for a bit (don’t want to play it out completely) and listen to my regular radio stations.  *Shout out to The Pulse onSiruis XM (Channel 15)* (my fave radio station).
