Because I'm really enjoying
a2zmom 's music reviews and because I'm doing them for The Daily Pulp I decided to add them here when I rounded up enough of them. So I'll be doing this for all the new-to-me music since to do my whole collection would drive me over the edge.
Gretchen Wilson=s Here for the Party made its way into the collection for two reasons, I liked some of the cuts from the almost ridiculous amount of air time its received and secondly, because Columbia House had the dual disc CD/DVD on sale cheaper than the CD alone (though, word of caution, the cd states that it doesn=t conform to CD specifications and therefore won=t play on all players. This is becoming an annoyance to me finding CD=s and DVD=s and wondering will they play because once you open them, they=re yours...

Great Big Sea=s Something Beautiful had a very nice write up in Columbia House=s catalogue and I=ll admit I was sucked in hoping for some good Celtic music. The band gives thanks for the opportunity to bring the songs and stories of Newfoundland around the world. Okay, >new world= Celtic could be interesting. ( Something Beautiful )
Simple Plan’s No Pads, No Helmets…just balls would have prolly more appeal to someone who is neither my age nor sex. This is what I’d call “angry boy” music (there’s probably a real term for it but I don’t know what that is.) This is very much teen oriented music with cuts like I’m Just a kid, One Day, Perfect and Grow Up You can take this cd, wring it out and bottle teen-angst.
