Best Present Ever.

You may recall that just days ago, I posted that I wanted Grey's Anatomy soundtrack. Well, today's post brought me not just that cd, but also two other to-die-for cds. Lisa, you are my hero. I have decided that burned cds are most favourite presents ever. Burned cds, mixed cds, basically the gift of personalised music: phenomenal.

I have had the priviledge of getting music a couple times in my life and I've never been disappointed. It's the magic of music. Because usually, the songs aren't mainstream. If they were mainstream, you'd be hearing them hourly on the radio. So instead, there is music that is being passed around -- it reminds of some old cartoon (I believe early Disney?) where they had the cartoon characters fading away unless kids remembered them and laughed. Well, I think of it like that with the good music. These actually good bands that don't get overplayed or sold out to MTV need people to appreciate them and rave about them. So as I'm rocking out for the next few weeks with these cds on a continuous loop, I will think of the beauty of music. :)

On a related note, Virgin is creating machines where you can go to the store and make your own mix cds of singles... genius. Everybody wins -- mixed cds, and the bands get money. Richard Branson is a friggin' genius.
