CD Wallet Secrets

So for those of you who know me, I'm a card carrying indie rocker.  I've played in enough bands, and enough smokey no name bars with 99.9% original music to guarantee me that card for life.  However, as I look through my CD wallet, I realize that I have some treasures in there that I love, but who probably catch my Indie Rock Card on fire if it came in contact with them.  So I'm going to run down my list of not-so-indie-rock treasures, and hope that you in return will open up your CD skeleton closet.

1. Pussycat Dolls - PCD, I'm not sure why I like the Pussycat Dolls so much.  Could it be neon lights and the pretty pretty girls?  Could it be Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dog?  Or could it be that their producer knows how to make some sweet ass beats and those bitches can sing?  Yes, I think so.  Ever since Don't Cha, I've been hooked.  I'd say about 70% of the CD is pretty fucking good.  And even if you don't like the music, you probably want to sleep with them, so fuck off.

2. Polaris - Adventures of Pete & Pete, Hopefully everyone reading this is a die hard Pete and Pete fan much like myself.  If not, then here is a little background.  Pete & Pete was a show on Nickelodeon way back in the day.  The Petes lived in Wellsville which has got to be somewhere around D.C., San Antone, and the Liberty town.  They had some pretty crazy adventures, all of which now look pretty silly, but at the time and for us die hards, is still the shit.  They had a house band called Polaris and they fucking rocked.  And yes, I downloaded all their tunes and rock to it at least weekly.  I also bought Pete & Pete seasons 1 & 2 on DVD.

3. Justin Timberlake - Justified, JT....what more can I say.  That boy knows how to make that shit funky.  He's the MJ of a new generation, if he would ever put out another album (I know, its coming).  I love this CD.  Of course it's still that same old back beat rhythm, but he adds some spice to it.  And he can fucking dance too!  And fly!  I saw the video.  I would love to see him and Walken have a mid-air dance/fight contest.  That would rule.  I have high hopes for the new CD, but I could go on forever with the first 6 tracks on Justified.  It rules.

4. Huey Lewis & The News - Greatest Hits, what can I say, this man is a fucking genius.  Maybe it was the fact that he had the theme song for Back To The Future, but ever since I got my first copy of Sports I was hooked.  You can not deny the power of HLATN.  They rule, come on, Jacob's Ladder....fucking Jacob's Ladder people, that shit is awesome.  Now the old boy may be barely breathing, but he did have a duet with Gwyneth Paltrow recently in "Duets" of all things.  And oddly enough, she can sing.  Oh well, Huey Lewis rules.

5. Shania Twain - Come On Over, Country...I know.  But I like my country with a lot of flash.  I can't say too much about this one.  We had one of her songs as our "Wedding" song.  Lyrics were appropriate, so......fuck off.

There it is.  Now, please share with us some of the CDs you don't talk about in public.  Also, I've sprinkled in some lyrics from a  song that was playing while I wrote this.  If you can tell me the artist and the track title, I will send you a new Case Logic CD wallet with a copy of each of these discs in it.

Carry on.
