This weekend I was on the hunt for a new CD as I’ve looking for new music over the last several months. I heard a song that I liked on last week’s Grey’s Anatomy (I know, cheesy show, however I find they use music very well in the show, introducing new artists at the same time). I found the song in iTunes, but I was curious to know if I’d like the whole album, so I looked up the album and listened to the clips of the songs. Very cool. But I didn’t want to spend the $14.99 on the album download through iTunes if I could buy the CD for the same price in the store. I’m one of those that likes to hold the CD in my hands some times…not always, but most of the times.
This morning I popped on over to my local HMV to see if they had it, and first off, I think I surprised Mr. Cool Music Dude in the store by asking for the artist. Secondly, he wasn’t sure if they had any left. We looked high and low, with no success. He mentioned that it was on an end display at one point, but when we looked, it wasn’t there. Oh well, I thought, I’ll keep my eyes open for it later. I took a closer look at the display to see what else was there, and wouldn’t you know it, I found the CD I was looking for! Someone had hidden it behind another one. Heh heh, I’ve done that before, but this time I snagged it. And wouldn’t you know it, it was on sale for $9.99. So I saved myself $5 and got the song tout de suite. Nice. I listened to it all the way home, and I’m pleased.
Oh, and the name of the artist is Florence + the Machine, the album is Lungs. I highly recommend it, especially if you like Imogen Heap-type music. In fact, I actually thought the song was Imogen Heap when I first heard it on Grey’s Anatomy.
