I would much rather buy an actual cd for a couple more dollars than purchase it online. This is why my Amazon.com Wish List has over 150 CDs (and counting) on it. Someday, I'll own you all! Until the day I become fabulously rich, I have to decide what music I want the most right now. For a music junkie like myself, it's an almost impossible choice. Here's what I would buy this instant if I had an extra $50 or so. (Weezer's Red Album would be on here if it weren't for the fact that it doesn't come out until the day of my birthday, which is exciting.)

1. Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, Neko Case, $12.97
One of these days, I'm going to write a sonnet about how much I love Neko Case. Hint: It's a LOT.


2. The White Album, The Beatles, $25.97
I cannot believe I don't own this yet, but I just...don't. We all know it's amazing. 'Nuff said.


3. Raising Sand, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, $11.99
Plant and Krauss have to be two of the most unlikely collaborators. It's like putting salt and honey (guess which ingredient represents which musician?) on a piece of homemade bread. You think it'd be weird, but it's actually really good.

I definitely agree about spending a little more money for a real CD as opposed to downloading it.

I also really want Raising Sand. Hmm.

We have the same taste in music. I have the Neko Case CD and the Robert Plant and Alison Krauss CD. And same as you I have no idea how I do not own the White Album. But I have to say if you have to choose - go for the Neko Case - it's one of my favorites.

Go with Neko - Fox Confessor is sublime and it will change your life I swear!
