Weather sucks though.<\/p>\n<p>I actually bought some CDs the other day &#8211; first time in forever.  Now I seriously can&#8217;t get this song out of my head: <em>John Mayer &#8211; &#8220;Come Back to Bed&#8221;<\/em>.  It&#8217;s so bad, I actually brought the CD into work and it&#8217;s playing on my computer here.  I wish I had some type of talent to sing or play guitar or something.  &#8220;Come Back to Bed&#8221; is on his latest CD <em>Heavier Things<\/em> I picked that up as well as his earlier CD <em>Room for Square<\/em>  I&#8217;ve never been a huge fan or anything.  I liked the I heard on the radio, just not enough to go buy a CD or listen to more\/other stuff.  Then I saw him on CMT&#8217;s Crossroads and was impressed with what I heard.<\/p>\n<p>I picked up Counting Crows <em>Films About Ghosts<\/em> too.  Partly because I wanted it, partly because I got free shipping for buying another.  It&#8217;s nice because there&#8217;s some previously unreleased stuff on there, as well as a ton of other good songs.  And it&#8217;s not a &#8220;Greatest Hits&#8221; at all, it&#8217;s subtitled &#8220;The best of&#8221; which is pretty accurate.  Their best stuff didn&#8217;t necessarily make the radio.  It won&#8217;t replace my copies of <em>August and Everything After<\/em> (which I&#8217;ve bought twice &#8211; I hardly buy CDs, to buy the same one twice means I <em>really<\/em> like it.  I think I&#8217;ve done that maybe 2 or 3 times in my life) or <em>This Desert Life<\/em> any time soon, but I don&#8217;t regret buying it.  I hate buying a CD because there&#8217;s a good song or two from the person, then you find out the rest of the CD sucks.  That&#8217;s where MP3s come in handy.  If half the CD is ok, I&#8217;m happy.  I&#8217;m thrilled when I find one that is just completely good.  That&#8217;s rare.  The ones I can think of that I can put the CD in, listen start to finish and be happy: August and Everything After, This Desert Life, American Standard, Fizzy Fuzzy Big &amp; Buzzy, Sixteen Stone, Flood&#8230; there&#8217;s probably one or two more, but that&#8217;s off the top of my head.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, that&#8217;s enough for today &#8211; go buy stuff if you want.<\/p>\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm-images.amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/rcm\/120x240.gif\" width=\"120\" height=\"240\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Shop at Amazon.com\">              <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm-images.amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/rcm\/120x240.gif\" width=\"120\" height=\"240\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Shop at Amazon.com\">                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm-images.amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/rcm\/120x240.gif\" width=\"120\" height=\"240\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Shop at Amazon.com\">             <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm-images.amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/rcm\/120x240.gif\" width=\"120\" height=\"240\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Shop at Amazon.com\">    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m good, thanks.
