I pre-ordered the new Jay-Z album. Jay-Z is like Radiohead to me, in that even their "bad" stuff is amazing to listen to.

I discovered the Manic Street Preachers this month. Caught a bit of them doing two songs on television and I couldn't believe that I'd never heard of this band before. Got their Greatest Hits CD and have spent a lot of time listening to them.

Still haven't gotten the new Magic Numbers album, but they did an acoustic set on Virgin Radio this month. They even did a HYSTERICAL cover of "The Unknown Stuntman" - the theme song from the Fall Guy.

My Chemical Romance. They REALLY have that thing for Queen, huh? Lily Allen's song was a free download on iTunes - she's catchy.

I'm still hooked on the first season of Veronica Mars, so I got the theme song by the Dandy Warhols. I love how Dandy Warhols fans are livid that their band is mainstream. Whenever I meet anyone who's a Dandy Warhols fan, I never tell them that I first heard of them when they were a college-radio band. I just shout, "Stacy's mom has got it going on!" and watch their heads explode.

Funny story behind the Spice Girls track. My teen sister was looking at my music library and found that I had that track. She was embarrassed for me, but I'm confident that enough time has passed that the Spice Girls are now retro-cool. Don't know if I'm right, but it ended up getting the song played in regular iTunes rotation.

The other two tracks are just random ones that iTunes randomly played multiple times this month.
