Reduced CDs 32-40

REDUCED CDs:

32: Passionworks disk given to us by our friend Miriam that pairs developmentally disabled folks with Athens musicians resulting in some great songs.

33: Miriam's mixed cd. Just like a mixed tape, but a cd, given to us by our friend and loyal blog reader Miriam upon hearing the great news that Susan no longer has cancer. Happy go lucky songs from various eras. Thanks Miriam!

34: Marshall Crenshaw's latest. This became a must buy after we saw him recently at Schubas.

35: Congress of Starlings. Having enjoyed seeing these girls play out several times this year, we'll need to bring them home to Athens with us in CD form.

36: Jack Johnson -- Give his new song "Hope" a listen.

37: Coldplay -- still the number one selling cd in the country, you have to give them a lot of credit for taking a chance on an innovative marketing strategy for the age of the internet.

38: The Duke Spirit: check out "The Step and the Walk" for a kind of Amy Winehouse-ish vibe.

39: Duffy: Her song "Mercy" is another great Amy Winehouse knock-off.

40: G. Love and Special Sauce: "Peace, Love and Happiness" -- Can't get enough of this stuff, especially as we slouch towards the end of the Bush Administration. (See picture above.)
