in need of some new music

it's not that i've tried to completely avoid downloading music, but i have been making the effort to buy my own cds..

and since many of my mp3 sources have graduated, i haven't had a batch of fresh picked mp3s in awhile..

so.. that means that i've had to listen to pretty much the same old ish on the ipod/tunes.. but that's ok.. it makes me more appreciate a couple certain things..

one being that kanye's new album isn't really all that good.. i mean his lyrics are still pretty fresh, not as controversial in this day as his first albums were back then.. but beats aren't much different.. i mean.. for me at least, i can find an equivalent song from his first two albums to most of the songs in graduation, meaning they kinna have the same feel to them..

the second is this.. graduation doesn't flow like college dropout.. the progression isn't as smooth.. i personally like when artists connect songs together.. it makes a whole cd.. not just a bunch of their best beats and lyrics put together on an album, but a carefully crafted display of musical artistry.. case in point, little brother's - the minstrel show.. i know i've talked about that album before, and that shit was soooo 2005.. but i still can't stop listening to it.. i mean, once i start the first track, i have to listen to the whole thing, or my life won't make sense anymore..

okies.. it's way too late..
