I been on a downloading frenzy from Amazon lately. Now that they’ve gone DRM-free, I’m all about my old habits. lol Anyway, I’m sure this is old hat to most however, I love no longer being forced to buy a whole album just to get one or two songs of choice.
Donna Summer’s new album after like forever is pretty damn good. I love the "Stamp your feet" track. I can’t wait to see what the underground dj clan does with it. Madonna’s, on the other hand, total waste of her efforts. I couldn’t bring myself to buy even one of Madge’s new songs. *le sigh* Speaking of music, I’ve been using last.fm to try and broaden my musical tastes. No luck so far. The site is clunky and not the least bit user friendly in my opinion.
Is it wrong that I like Hilary Duff?

Geek rant again. You’ve been warned!
I finally discovered the trick to making my Motorola S9 headset work with Vista. My one and only bitch about the headset is it only randomly connects to stream music w/my Dell laptop. I love the headset. It works fantastically with my Wing. It also has a very sporty feel and it fits beautifully. Gone is the worry about them falling off my head during my workouts. I wish they would come out with some different colors but it is a tiny price to pay for convenience.
I digress. The damn thing will not function consistently w/my laptop. The headset pairs and connects no problem. System sounds come thru just fine. However, anytime I try to stream music, no sound. From what I’ve been able to discover, it is a driver problem. More specifically, the current driver set doesn’t hand off between Bluetooth and your default audio source correctly. The fix? Wait for your bluetooth to connect and then set it as the default audio connection. It only takes a few clicks from the system tray to switch back and forth. And while, it isn’t ideal, [1]God forbid they just fraking update the damn drivers to work w/Vista. it will do. /rant

Try Cyndi Lauper’s new album, so far I’m loving it 🙂
Donna Summer? Are you gay? I had no idea.
Hilary Duff, yes it is wrong, ugh!
You made that Madonna reference JUST to piss ME off. Didn’t you?!?! You clearly didn’t give Madonna’s album enough play before you made your decision. I thought the same thing, but now I realize that this is Madonna’s BEST album of her career. All of her songs on this album are timeless and very listenable. You just have to open up your mind and then you’ll finally get it. Like I did.
Brett ~ I hate to break it to ya honey but my world does not revolve around yours. I know that is a shocker. lolol
I’ve been a die hard Madonna fan for decades. Hell, I loved her back when she was doing the club circuit trying to get famous. I’m just not impressed w/her latest work. To me, it reeks of being packaged and pre-made in attempt to appeal to the current teeny-bopper crowd.
Now Ms. Lauper on the other hand is tearing the shit up w/her new album. . .
both the donna summer and the madonna were creeper albums for me. didn’t like them much at first but after listening to them about 10 times i am really digging them.
check out robyn. she is total win.
I’d *almost* say it was wrong to like Ms. Duff, but you nailed it on the head about Madonna, so who am I to say?
I have to admit Madonna’s album took many listens for me to get into. She tends to put out albums like that every now and then, but it isn’t my fave of her’s by far. If she had knocked off the “rap” segments of a few of the songs, it would have been so much better.
Glad you like Cyndi’s album. It’s very different from anything she’s done before lol.
try pandora.com if you haven’t already. you just put in an artist you like and they generate a bunch. i love all kinds of music, and i don’t necessarily know where to find it all. they have an amazon and apple thanger… so if you love love a song you can buy it right away.
