I recently rediscovered my love for collecting music again- side effect from working many hours at the new job and having extra spending cash. This hobby has all the influence from a certain friend of mine taking up a manager's position at the local music store here in town. Kyle has a wonderful ear for music and always has a great selection of music in stock for me to play around with. Here are my picks from Kyle's picks from the past few months.

1-Amiina's Kurr- I am an old fan of ambient sounds so it was natural for me to take this cd when Kyle said it was all about "small" sounds. Amiina, from what I know, is four musical Icelandic women who can play everything from a fiddle to (literally) the kitchen sink. I can throw this CD on and instantly I want to put on skirts with loud shirts.

2- Mylo- Destroy Rock & Roll- Fun, frolics, dabbling in micro-house, it's everything that I wished micro-house was in 1997 but wasn't. One thing I can't deny is my love for amusingly fun house vocal tracks (gurn gurn) so for the rest of the normal people on the planet there are a few boss techno tracks on the CD so everyone walks away happy.

3- Justice- Cross- Buy this CD. Buy the CD and stick it in your car's stereo. Turn stereo up all the way and play the first track. Put on shades and roll your windows down. Proceed to bob head in bad-ass manners as you cruise the 'hood to some of the most evilest bass-lines to come farting out of the new millennium's speakers. Your mom will hate this CD. Even more reason to buy it.
