Hmmm. Maybe I shouldn't use Elf Pee and Yummy in the same sentence. :eek:
I received an early easter basket (cleverly disguised as a DVD case) full of musical goodies from my Finchy friend last week and I have been very much enjoying almost everything in the basket.
Incubus - I like a lot. Having only heard one song of theirs previously, they weren't quite as heavy as I expected. This will get a lot of play over the next week or two as I get more comfortable with them. I suspect that they will end up near the top of my wish list. Did you notice that the very beginning of the first song sounds a lot like the first track (Burned) on the Three Day's Grace disk? That loose change hitting a guitar sound?
Haley Westenra - While this girl has a very beautiful voice, the choice of songs just isn't my cup of tea. The selections sent to me range from too Operatic to too Olivia Newton-Johnish. If she went a little more folky (Hem) or more rock (Evanescence), I might learn to like her. But as it stands, I'll take a pass.
Alexi Lalas - Now we're talking. This was good, fun stuff. My toes are still tapping. I wonder if he could braid his beard. :rolleyes:
The Pop Culture Press Sampler - I only spun this one once. Not too much really grabbed me on first listen. I was distracted by the poor quality of the disk in general. I'll give this another spin to see if anything pops :) out at me on second spin.
The Bonus disk - What is on this? I'm having trouble reading what you wrote on the disk. Is it Lost Prophets and Probot? The first half of the disk was very enjoyable. I liked it very much. But then it turned on me. I'm not quite sure if the second half is all one band or if there are two additional bands (three in total) on the disk. The second half is kinda like Staind meets Rob Zombie. Hmmmm. The first half was better IMHO.
All in all, Incubus and Lost Prophets (?) win full points. Thanks for sharing and for introducing me to some really great new tunes that will no doubt end up expanding my already overflowing CD collection.
