new CDs

I have been a member of BMG Music since my 2nd year of college, and since I met my requirement ages ago, I hold out and buy only when there's a really good deal (never more than $8 for a CD, including shipping). I don't know how ethical this whole music club thing is for supporting the artist etc, so maybe I should figure that out. Plus, BMG doesn't have a lot of the music that I listen to these days, or if they do, it's only one CD of the band or something. Anyway, it had been ages since I bought any from BMG, and a good deal came along, so I decided to get some CDs that I had thought about getting for a while, that weren't necessarily my favorite bands, but that I would like having.

These are the ones I got:

• Alanis Morissette: The Collection [the song Simple Together has to be the saddest song ever]
• Jackson 5: The Ultimate Collection [good for singing along with on road trips]
  
• The Essential Miles Davis
  
• Led Zeppelin: Early Days - The Best of Led Zeppelin Volume One [there's something about Black Dog....]
  
• Zero 7: When It Falls

Random, you say? That's how it is with me and music! Yay for new CDs!


Here are the lyrics to that Alanis song, Simple Together:

You've been my golden best friend
And now with post-demise at hand
I can't go to you for consolation
Cuz we're off limits during this transition

This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And I can't stop bumping into things

I thought we'd be simple together
I thought we'd be happy together
thought we'd be limitless together
I thought we'd be precious together
But I was sadly mistaken

You've been my soulmate and then some
I remembered you the moment I met you
With you I knew god's face was handsome
With you I saw fun and expansion

This loss is numbing me it pierces my chest
And I can't stop dropping everything

I thought we'd be sexy together
thought we'd be evolving together
I thought we'd have children together
I thought we'd be family together
But I was sadly mistaken

If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared
If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented
If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air
My wealth would render this no less severe

I thought we'd be genius together
I thought we'd be healing together
I thought we'd be growing together
thought we'd be adventurous together
But I was sadly mistaken

thought we'd be exploring together
thought we'd be inspired together
I thought we'd be flying together
thought we'd be on fire together
but I was sadly mistaken
