Welcome to HHM Land!

i'm a big fan of country music. since the days I sat in my new zealand host mum's car listening to elton john with cute sam and lucy. miss them so much!

I met en yesterday in town to catch up before she flies back to Thailand. we were talking about the manner we blog and i realized that what you blog and when you choose to blog reflects a lot on your personality. for en, she resolves to blogging when she's upset or depressed. for me, i only blog when i have happy things to share or if i'm feeling quite neutral/ emotionless (which is more often than not, when i feel bored).

anyway, this entry is meant to be a review of the 3 albums i bought yday on that cd shop's 3-for-$49.90 deal. avril lavigne's "the best damn thing", one republic's limited tour edition album "dreaming out loud" and jason mraz "we sing, we dance, we steal things". i've wanted the avril n jason mraz album for some time. i intended to get clay aiken's latest album but the store didn't carry it so i had to look for a 3rd album. in the end, it was a tussle between coldplay's "viva la" and one republic in which the latter won me over.

i've heard the entire avril album before i bought it, so nothing much to say about it. some songs i love very very much (yes bea!), some are not to my taste. for one republic's album, i thought they surpassed my expectations. im more of the soft rock than hard rock person. i think one republic and daughtry belong to the "medium" rock category. they're not too noisy for me and i can appreciate the mix of instruments and melody of the tunes.

for jason mraz, i defintely preferred his acoustic versions a lot better than his studio recorded songs. i was a bit disappointed with the album but perhaps that's because im excessively stuck to the kind of songs he had done previously. e.g. acoustic concert in korea. (find it on youtube)
