Now spinning: The Real Testament
Currently spinning: 'The Real Testament'. This album convinces me, though. I probably seem like the kind of person who might be a very big fan of Plies but I'm not.
Now it always catches me. The disc strikes a chord everytime I play it. Repeated listenings do infuse the melodies into your brain.
Why does the record company pick the dumbest songs as singles?

New Yung Joc
Now spinning in my CD player is Yung Joc's new disc 'Hustlenomics'. I've always
been into hip hop. I probably seem like the kind of person who might be a very big fan of Yung Joc but I'm not. The truth is I've been very indifferent to Yung Joc for quite a while.
The scope of music on Hustlenomics is quite broad. The more I listen to Yung Joc, the better it gets.
The last track is not really a hidden track, since the packaging says there is one. On a PC you can't even play these damn hidden tracks.

Now spinning: Lead Sails Paper Anchor
Just bought and listened to 'Lead Sails Paper Anchor', Atreyu's new album.
Somehow Atreyu never touched me. Repeated listenings do infuse the melodies
into your brain.
'Good Night, and Good Luck.': absolutely god-awful
I had high expectations because I heard a lot about this movie, but Good Night, and Good Luck. is
cheesy. George Clooney's direction was crappy. I think David Strathairn did a bad job.
