Sounds of Spring
For me, there is something about Spring in the air that makes me turn to music. I must confess: LOUD music. I’ve been blaring the stereo in the car and in the house and when those that I live with can’t stand it, in goes the headphones. In the Library, we are re-labeling our CDs and adding new CDs to the collection. The process of cataloging music is an arduous process for most libraries. In addition to the technical aspects of this process, which we won’t even go into, is the classification of any given album into a category. I do not consider myself particularly music knowledgeable. (What is it that people say about art? I know what I like.) But even the unsophisticated listener knows musical categories are not mutually exclusive and choosing where to place something can be difficult. Should that Britney Spears album be placed under female vocalist or pop? Is REM alternative or rock or contemporary… or in this case, (gulp,) oldies? And what does one do with that pesky album where Grammy winners are playing acoustic versions of punk rock favorites? It’s a challenge. Still, our library has over 1000 CDs and more to come. So, if you’re craving some new tunes, be sure to check some out! Su’s Spring Play List I
Shrek 2 Soundtrack The Who - any album will do nicely The Rolling Stones - the "old" stuff
Green Day - American Idiot (explicit language warning)
Gensis - ABACAB (though almost any will do) Eurythmics Greatest Hits (though Annie Lenox Medusa is also a great album)
