Cheap Music

Right now you can buy Steel Train's recently released self titled album for only $3.99 over at Amazon! I have to admit, I'm not in love with this band. But I do really like this particular album. Specifically, I'm really into their songs Bullet and Turnpike Ghost.

J's Album Pick of the Week

Fixin to Thrill by Dragonette has probably been my favorite album to listen to all summer. I discovered it way back in April of this year and I haven't stopped listening since. You can go ahead and take a listen over at Amazon, where you can also conveniently purchase the entire album for only $5. Trust me, it's well worth it.

Fave tracks: Easy, Pick Up the Phone, Liar, Gone Too Far, Okay Dolores, and Big Sunglasses.

Also worth a listen: Their previous studio album Galore

Current Obsession: Mika

Mika, what to say about him? Over the past weekend I purchased both of his studio albums (yes, I still buy actual CDs). 2007's Life in Cartoon Motion is amazing. Highlights include: Grace Kelly, Lollipop, Love Today, Big Girl (You Are Beautiful), and Happy Ending. There is not one song from 2009's The Boy Who Knew Too Much that I don't love, but my absolute faves are Blame It On The Girls, We Are Golden, and Blue Eyes. You can watch videos for many of Mika's songs over at his VEVO page on Youtube (WTF is a VEVO? If anyone knows, please enlighten me). You can listen to some of his songs over at his myspace page, including a mashup of the entire Boy Who Knew Too Much album! Just in case you're wondering, my absolute favorite song of Mika's is Love Today. Maybe my Zune library tells me I've listened to it 98 times over the past three days. Maybe.
