a musical monday
Enjoying sitting in the a/c at home this arvo. There’s still quite a bit of work I need to do this arvo, but it is nice to be doing it at home. My morning went very well and I’m finally done with all the preparation for a fleet migration of this customer that’s taken up the majority of my time for the last week and a half. Now the migration takes place on Friday - *fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong*
While I was in Parra this arvo dropping the magic address book transfery machine off for the last time (hooray!), I dropped by HMV - I’d been itching for new music almost all weekend. That was partly cured by the muscial fun-ness of Friday and Saturday night, but earlier this arvo, I was drawn to looking at CDs. Here’s my findings:
- Ben Folds Five - Whatever & Ever Amen - found this for $10 - score! Have always been interested in Ben Folds, but don’t have any of his albums. And how can’t Brick be up there as a favourite song for most people?
- Ben Folds - Songs For Silverman - also found this for $10!
- Matchbox 20 - Exile on Mainstream - heard the second single from this EP/greatest hits this morning and decided I very much liked it.
- The Basics - Stand Out/Fit In - found this in HMV for $36. Crazy. I then came home and bought it for $17 on iTunes instead :) Have heard much about The Basics wonderousness, but never grabbed their album (and am still yet to witness their apparent awesomeness in concert). I’m listening to it now, and am quite enjoying the uniqueness of it.
And more musicalness that I’m looking forward to… this weekend begins the James-on-keys fiesta that sees me enjoying my keyboard playing at church for 3 straight weeks :D I realised this on Saturday night, and I was quite excited by it. It’ll give me a great chance to get into a nice rhythm and stay in the keyboard mindset without switching to guitar inbetween.A musical Monday indeed.
