Your CD Collection Meme

List the last 5 CDs you bought,
then for each one, write down what made you buy it.

1. Black 47, Fire of Freedom.
Larry Kirwan is amazing singer/songwriter who portrays a person who knows what he wants and says screw it if you don't concur. The album has a bunch of great songs.

2. Gaelic Storm, How Are We Getting Home
I got it for my sister who's a huge fan and also to play in podcast.

3. When Harry Met Sally Soundtrack
I used to own and lost the CD. Fantastic album for a wonderfully sappy movie.

4. The Tea Merchants
Went out to see them at Fado's and loved their music. Actually, I'm not sure if I did pay for it, but I was planning to if they didn't give me one for free.

5. Planxty
I've heard so many recommendations for this band that I decided to finally buy a couple albums. Haven't listened to them yet.


List your top 5 favorite artists of all time,
then write what made you discover each one and become a fan.

1. Elvis Presley
"I Gotta Know". The B-Side to "Are You Lonesome Tonight" on 45 that my mom owned. I loved Elvis' voice and rhythm. It just clicked. Don't think my folks were ever as big fans as i was.

2. Black 47
I read Larry Kirwan's bio. Emailed him for a Celtic compilation I was compiling. He emailed me back. Plus, he had some awesome free MP3s on his website. It took two years to buy an album. Now I own four. But I love to promote them whenever I can.

3. Fabrizio de Andre
My Italian teacher in college lent me a cassette that I copied. He sang in Italian with this warm folk vibe. His lyrics and rhythms were unconventional and the stories were stunning. "Hotel Supramonte" is an absolute favorite!

4. Ween
Some times sick and twisted and always interesting. I used to hear some of their songs on the radio in the evenings. They were the DJs fave. He played a Ween song in every show. Every song was interesting and different. This one band that seriously defies definition.

5. Serious Kitchen
Found them on MP3.com. I think they later sent me a CD. Celtic music with a progressive folk feel. And the singer's voice was magical.
