Yeah I've found some more good music and feel I have to share it with someone. I've been on kind of a spending binge on itunes lately. I started adding a lot for when I was painting cuz I brought my ipod docking station thingy and could listen to anything I wanted. Because of this, I decided to buy any musical I've ever heard of. Not literally of course, but I bought les miserables, chess, the secret garden, and 13, and downloaded wicked and little women and spamlot that I already had. All these are good musicals and I will have a great time listening to them.
The best purchase I made was Jason Robert Brown's "Wearing Someone Else's Clothes." JRB has been my favorite composer for a long time and this CD absolutely exemplifies every reason that I like him. I was already in love with his other musicals; The Last Five Years, Songs for a New World, Parade, and most recently 13. Wearing Someone Else's Clothes is basically a random collection of some of his songs that had not been put out yet, played and sung by him. The music is so diverse and amazingly put together I already can't stop listening to it. It spurs and inspires me to get my ass up and practice the piano or write something.
A couple other random great songs are worth mentioning too. Awake by Josh Groban is quickly becoming one of my favorite songs from him, and that's very tough to do. It was released on the deluxe version of his cd "Awake" and not the original (yeah figure that one out) so i never heard it much before I downloaded it. Another one is a song called "Flight" by Craig Carnelia. Apparently he's big in the musical scene too but I had never really heard of him before this song. It has some of the most beautiful harmonies I've ever heard and is overall so well done I, also, can't stop listening to it.
As you can imagine, I do a lot of listening with these new songs, so I am becoming a world class Freecell Solitaire player. prolly not a good thing but i can't help it! They're all so good!! Anyway back to Freecell and singing JRB at the top of my lungs.
