new cds

so 3 of my 4 amazon packages have come in the past two days. today rachel sage's smashing the serene came, yesterday monday morning cold by erin mckeown and stag by amy ray came. and.... a package from leah! she sent me a mix! rock on! i was so excited! it's good. the back reads well, things i know, new things, like k's choice and ben folds, that i know from the new music i've gotten from kira and z. it sounds more like jamie's mix, though- girl heavy (love that!) some really awesome stuff, some familar stuff, and a few i can't stand. i'm kinda overwhelmed by the breadth of kira's mixes, and so though i've been listening to them, i haven't analized them yet. i took monochromatic girl's quinisential tunes to work today- took leah's too, but hadn't listened to it all yet and was too afraid of explicit lyrics to play it- and it was really good. i think if she was a dj i'd listen to her radio station. that's the vibe i get, anyway. leah's new mix is crazy to listen to. it's like i can hear the mountians. it's all new, but it sounds like pa to me. i don't know- where ch is into lyrics, i think instrumentation is very important to leah. i feel like it's the music mom might listen to if she was 25 years younger and a lesbian. or something. anyway. i love them all, and they're all so different, and it's stupid for justine to be too intimidated to send me one, really, she's just a wimp. i need about 150 more songs to beat out my dad's itunes, so i think that's doing a bit of fueling of my mania.
hey, talking about my mom, her stepdaughter had her baby today. so now i'm a stepaunt on both sides. it's much too intimate sounding a word for someone i've only met once, at the wedding, i think.
wasted so much time online! talked to z, and justine, and g before writing this. they all were sensible and signed off. and here i am, blogging. how rediculous.
