Impulsive Music Shopping

I stopped by Best Buy on Friday night and picked up four new CD's. Two of them were planned but the other two were total impulse buys.

I bought:
  • Evanescence, "Fallen" - Great album. Amy played this for me last week. I had heard some of the songs before but never realized who the artist was until she played it for me.
  • Johnny Cash, "The Man Comes Around" - I've been meaning to pick this up for some time now. I got it mostly for Johnny's rendition of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" and Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt", but I really like the whole album. Holy Crap. Yesterday I wore spandex biker shorts and today I'm listening to Country music. Who am I?!?! :)
  • KT Tunstal, "Eye to the Telescope" - I loved the single, "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree", but didn't really plan on buying the whole album until I noticed that Best Buy was selling it for $7.99. I figured that I couldn't go wrong with that kind of price. It's actually a pretty good album.
  • Various Artists (Compiled by Fischerspooner), "The Other Side: New York" - This was a total impulse buy. I was actually looking for some Ferry Corsten but they were out. I felt like I needed to feed my recently rekindled techno affinity, so I started browsing through some of the other albums in the techno section. I recnognized Fischerspooner and the album sounded pretty cool so I bought it. The jury is still out on whether or not this one was worth the money that I paid for it. I like some of the songs, but others are really strange.

So do you listen to your music while you're biking?

I do listen to my iPod while biking. I have so much music on my iPod now that even after biking for 7 hours the other day I didn't even come close to listening to a fraction of one of my playlists.
