It's been a while...

So, it's been almost a month since I updated this. I figured it would go that way. You know, you have this idea and want to go through with it, then just end up pushing it out of your mind for a while. The problem is that I really don't have much to say right now. I don't want this to be a blog about my life. I don't need everyone knowing about all my endeavors. But, really, that's the only thing that has been going on in my life. I've been really busy trying to figure out how to get myself healthy that I haven't really been thinking about anything to rant and rave about on here. I hope that, in due time, I will have more to write about, because this could be a fun little ditty to do. But, until then, I apologize for the lack on interesting going on her.

I'm Such a Sucker...

I got a bunch of iTunes money for Christmas. As a music enthusiast, you'd think that would be a great gift for me. But, I'm still a sucker for CDs. There's something about physically owning the album, being able to flip through the pages of the booklet. iTunes is good and all, but it just doesn't give me the same satisfaction. So I decided that I think I'm going to spend the iTunes money on new music, stuff I've never heard before. That way, I can use my Best Buy gift cards (or cash) on Cds of bands I know.

That being said, searching for new music is a tough task. I do like the feature on iTunes where you can find other bands that sound like the bands I like, but it's still difficult. So far, I think I've decided I want to get Consolers of the Lonely by The Raconteurs. I've listened through all the songs on iTunes (well, all 30 seconds of each song) and it seems really good. Very different than what I normally listen to. Maybe, once I get it, I'll write a review or something.

But aside from that one album, I have no idea what else to buy. I want to broaden my music library. As happy as I am with the diversity of my iTunes right now, I still think I could afford to get some new stuff that is out of the ordinary for me. Any suggestions?
