I've been really on the hunt for new music in the past few weeks. I haven't bought a CD in years -- haven't really listened to much music, for that matter. I tend to be lazy about CDs when I'm at home. I love music, but I also love silence. Laziness plus a lack of hatred for silence tends to equal me not listening to music while at home. But for one reason or another I've been wanting to listen to music recently. Problem is, I am rather bored with my CDs.
Here's what I propose: if anyone wants to send me a burned copy of their favorite CD from the last year or so, or, for the truly ambitious, a mix CD of your favorite songs, I will send you a mix of mine. Anyone interested? Leave me a comment or email me (remove nospam of course).
Although I don't care what kind of music you send - if you like it that makes it special - I am drawn to folksy, acoustic artists and music with a Celtic flair - for example, Sarah McLaughlin, Indigo Girls, Solas, Loreena McKennit, Enya, U2, REM, David Gray, Counting Crows.
I hope some of you are interested in trading - I really need new music!
Posted by allison at May 16, 2005 11:11 AMWe just recently got rid of all our CDs, except just a few we tend to keep in the car with us. We just tend to get what we want from the library, so we sold all those we owned but never listened to. The library CDs are returned just about the time we get sick of them, anyway! :-)
BTW, if you would be interested in some Celtic Christian music (my favorite) look up Maire Brennen (sister of Enya), and also a CD by Michael Card called StarKindler.

Mark - awesome!! Thanks! I'd offer to send you a cd in return (like I promised, lol) but I doubt I have anything you've never heard =) But if you want, I'll send one anyway!
