What Grown Women Are Made Of: Music!

Today while shopping for a Nintendo DS charger to replace the one that Peanut (the lost puppy I rescued recently - but that's another blog) chewed up, I bought some music. I admit that I am somewhat old-fashioned when it comes to music. I like buying albums instead of single songs. If vinyl records were more readily available, I might be obsessed with them. However, I'm obsessed with the next best thing, CDs. I have an MP3 player (a Sony Walkman), but I rarely buy music online in MP3 format. I prefer to buy a CD with the complete album of whatever artist I find myself dancing to at the time. I then rip the music to my home and work computer and proceed to listen to albums for days at a time before I move on to the next one.

I love music! I love live music as my favorite genre - and yes, I consider that a genre. I don't care what type of music it is - if it's live, I'll listen to it and jam out and have a great time. But my musical collection of albums tends toward rock, country, and alternative. I have some pop, some trance/electronic, some heavy metal, some random other stuff as well. But I LOVE rock. Anything with a guitar, vocals, drum, and bass - it gets to me. Keyboard or keytar is an added bonus. Ha!

I really don't know where I'd be without my Sirius satellite radio. I used to listen to FM radio back in the day, until I bought my Fusion. Sirius changed my life. Now I can browse by time period, by genre, listen to talk radio when I choose to, and hear my football game live. My favorite Sirius stations are as follows: Alt Nation, Hair Nation, 90s on 9, 80s on 8, Prime Country, BPM, Area, The Pulse, NFL Radio, Margaritaville, and Jam On. A few of my new albums are from artists I heard on Alt Nation. For you LA natives, Alt Nation is like KROQ without the annoying talk and with more "indy" musicians.

Also, before I reveal the new additions to my lil music family, I must share that I LOVE to sing. I'm not the best, but I have a loud, strong voice and I love it. So, of course I enjoy music that I can sing to.

Ok, here are my new albums:
