So today I am listening to my new Crowded House CD (Thanks, Baby). It definitely has a more mellow theme to it than previous albums. Of course it is dedicated to their previous drummer who passed away, so what can you expect? Still it’s a good CD as far as I’m concerned.
The other CD’s I have picked up recently are Brandi Carlile and Gogol Bordello. Wow, talk about polar opposites. I saw a video for the song The Story by Brandi and I really liked it. I don’t know that I was expecting the rest of the CD to have more of a Country kind of feel, but it is pretty good. Plus, the Indigo Girls sing background on one of the tracks, which is a good enough endorsement for me. I am still trying to get through all of the Gogol Bordello CD. This one is really odd. I looked them up online and they are listed as a Gypsy Punk band from New York. I think that sums up what I am hearing pretty nicely. The sound is really strange, but fun. Many of the members are from Eastern Europe. Anyway, they are really unusual and I also found out they are going to be one of the bands performing this year at Vegoose.
Other things going on in my crowded house include finally setting up a seller’s account on Ebay to try and get rid of some of my belongings. So far, I am listing some books. If nothing happens, then I can try selling them back to a bookstore. I just thought I would give Ebay a try to see what happened. Setting everything up was pretty simple, which was nice. I’m not sure how well books sell on the site, so I may have set myself up for some early disappointment there. I’ll be listing some other things in the coming weeks and see if it makes a difference.
In other news, today is my sister’s birthday. Last year, I totally forgot to call her which had never happened. I felt awful. Anyway, I am hoping that if I somehow forget to pick up the phone today that I am covered by a mention here. Plus, the picture today is for her. Before she decided to stay home with the kids, she worked as a sign language interpreter. The sign above takes the “I”, “L” and “Y” from the American Sign Language alphabet and means “I Love You.” Happy Birthday, sis!
