old school fandoms
Jun. 6th, 2007 07:54 pmoh noez! Tomb Raider was bumped back yet again!!! And I was all excited. I gave
jimithingy my gift card and asked him to go to Best Buy for me and they told him it would not be released until the 12th! *cries* He did grab the new Paul McCartney album for me. Now I'm getting all nostalgic for my fab four. I've only given the CD a quick listen while dinner was being made, but it sounded like Paul - simple, fun melodies meant to be bopped along to while you're just hanging out. This might spark a Paul mix for my iPod. I haven't listened to any of his solo stuff for awhile (or Wings, for that matter)
(For those of you that don't know, I was a hardcore Beatles fan for most of my teen years. I watched the Anthology over Thanksgiving break and just fell in love. I was struggling to find my own music at the time - I had been mostly listening to whatever my mom had lying around so a lot of Sting, Phil Collins, Monkees (stop laughing!) - so they became my musical obsession. I actually credit them for getting me my job since I went to the library all the time to get more and more Beatle related books and CDs. I now own almost every album on CD, most of McCartney's solo stuff, a few Lennon CDs, and Harrison's 'All Things Must Pass', (sorry Ringo), plus Hard Day's Night and the Anthology on DVD)
And I had something else to say....something deep and important...and now I've forgotten...ah well.
