I thought we could do some Top Fives! This week we can do music, yes? That way we can all find really great music to listen to… and we can see what our blog buddies like to shake it to. Do you shake it? I don’t often shake it, but when I do it is quite memorable. Not in a cool way. In a ‘wow, look how un-co you are’ way. When I am in the car, I always listen to music. I have the little cord that runs from my phone to the stereo. I like that cord. It means I never get stuck in a music rut. Do you do that too?
I use the iTunes DJ to make random play lists from my iTunes library. And I listen to albums too. Here are my favourite albums at the moment. Every single one is a corker, I promise.
1. Arcade Fire : The Suburbs
2. Karen Elson :: The Ghost Who Walks
3. John Grant :: Queen of Denmark
4. Richard Hawley :: True Love’s Gutter
5. Foals :: Total Life Forever
You can buy all of those on iTunes… or direct from the artist’s websites if you prefer that. I think that is quite cool, actually, don’t you? Maybe the lead guitarist is trying to find the end of the sticky tape, so he can wrap up your CD? Maybe the drummer is emailing you your download while he cuts his toenails? Maybe? I am weird and like both those ideas. Also, you could buy these from your local independent record store. That is a really great thing to do too.
Do you have a top five of the musical persuasion? Maybe singles, maybe albums? Whatever you like. Maybe you have a play list over on your blog? Maybe your blog is ONLY about music? If you post a top five, do let us know in the comments so we can come and see it and add your faves to our wish list. These lists could also be a cool way to find Christmas gifts for people you like, couldn’t they? Yep. I think so.
