Pure bliss. Really...buying CDs is my one and only vice. I'm too compulsive. Last night...I bought Franz Ferdinand -- You Could Have It So Much Better, The Futureheads...and my mom bought me the Harry Potter soundtrack for "getting good grades." I'm in the top 20 every quarter and that's all I get...one CD. I don't ask for much. An iPod would be soooo much better...

So...excuse me for talking about too much music. Let's start with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. This is the only time I really went out of my way to buy the soundtrack...because after watching the movie, I was mesmerized. From the very start till the very end...plus there are actual songs in the album. The three songs are really cool..."Do the Hippogriff" is the sort of dance song that was shown in the movie...and it's so cool. Also, the last track, "Magic Works" is like a slow dance song and it starts off with a cheesy "This one goes out to all the lovers out there...hold each other tight, and keep each other warm." :D

Now on to the musical scores...There's a cool mix of dark music and lighthearted ones. And that's what I really like about it. The first track, "The Story Continues" is one of my favorites, definitely because it just shows you how dark and beautiful the movie is, even if it is just the first track...and it definitely made Hedwig's Theme, which is included for a few seconds, really darker and not like the playful one shown in previous movies. I haven't heard all the tracks...but one of the best would definitely be the "Quidditch World Cup" which has the Durmstrang 'entrance' music. I actually thought it would be in the "Foreign Visitors Arrive" track, which was the first song I listened to...and I was like "Nasan yung sa Durmstrang?" Good thing they included that. One track I'm not too fond of: "Harry in Winter"...because that's the Cho Chang scene. Katie=ugly.

Moving on...Franz Ferdinand. Really really cool. They have very different music from their first album...but both are really cool. My favorite tracks so far, aside from "Do You Want To?," are "The Fallen" and "Walk Away." As for The Futureheads...really cool. I first heard them in the OC Mix 4 and I thought their music was nice and something I'd probably listen to. So I bought it...and it's really nice.

That's it...my dad bought a new camera...and it's really nice and all...but not something I'm likely to bring around everywhere. It looks like a professional camera...not to mention costs like one...but whatever. It's my dad's money...not mine. So I'm not really allowed to complain.
