Okay, okay, thread revival and double-post. Still, I've been doing a lot of listening this week.
Monday on the drive, I listened to Linkin Park's
Reanimation. I probably hadn't listened to it the whole way through in ages. (iTunes seems to indicate February of '07.) It was a frequent resident of my old Civic's CD player back in high school, and you have to hold onto old albums.
Tuesday, I was in a generally lousy mood for reasons beyond the scope of this thread. I wound up settling on William Shatner's 2004 album
Has Been. Those unfamiliar may be scratching their heads, but it's really a spectacular album. (For the uninitiated, YouTube provides
this and
this.) It doesn't work as a ringtone, but nobody said music was supposed to. Buy this album.
I've also found myself liking
The Odd Couple more and more. Perhaps it's a case of the week influencing my mood for the more soulful album over St. Elsewhere, which is ridiculously catchy pop. (I'm not saying the former doesn't have it, but it matches me better at the moment.)
This morning, I had a strange craving to listen to Will Smith's
Willennium. (It was $2 in the used CD bin.) My thumb didn't stop in time on the iPod, so instead my drive (and search for sub-$4 gas) was backed with the cast recording from
Wicked, another album I'd allowed to collect some dust of late. (If you ever get a chance to see it, do. I've been fortunate to see it twice on Broadway--from the very front row and the very back row, no joke--and it was amazing in both cases. But back to albums.)
On the way back, I started Pink Floyd's
Wish You Were Here. A classic, one I'll continue working at on the drive to get my car serviced tomorrow.
