Listening to lately…

October 23rd, 2008

A friend asked me what I’ve been listening to lately so I put this list together for him. Some of these are free downloads from Amazon… the rest are links to where you can listen to a sample or a YouTube video. I listen to a lot of different styles of music (translation: my wife often rolls her eyes and sighs when I say, “Hey, listen to this!“) but right now I’m going through an pop/acoustic/country phase. Discovered anything worth listening to lately?

Update: Thanks to AngĂ©lica, click here for the Favtape.com version of the list below. Click the song titles to listen. It’s missing Devil Don’t Remember My Name and Savannah Drive because it couldn’t find them. :( They’re both worth listening to so I left the links below.
