New Guilty Pleasures for Good ol' Mike

[goodolmike]

Mostly for the sake of getting out of the office, I walked over to Sam Goody yesterday to look at CDs. It's a little overpriced there, but hey, music store! I was hoping to pick up the new Michael Jackson album, but apparently it isn't out yet.

Instead, I walked out with some cool stuff. Well, I'm not sure if cool is the right word. Both bands are what I would consider guilty pleasures.



My Chemical Romance - "Danger Days"
This one, the follow-up to their masterpiece The Black Parade, isn't nearly as good as its predecessor, but I'm pretty happy with it. Their sort of Queen-influenced sound from before is now replaced with a pop-punk sound. But the singer really has an interesting voice and some of the guitar work is pretty fun.

Black Eyed Peas - "The Beginning"
I absolutely loved their last album. I listened to this one late last night. I'm not so sure about it...

On top of all that, when I got home, there was also a package from Amazon.com. It was the new Kanye West album. It's perfect! I was never a fan of Kanye West before, but recently I heard Runaway and I was a believer!

The Shocking thing about this post, is that there is Still a 'Sam Goody' store!

Yeah.
A few years ago, everyone thought it was going to close, but it somehow has managed to stick around.
I think it was bought out by FYE but they kept the name.
