Well, it's been a while since I did my last post. So here's what's been up:

I bought Kylie Minogue's X album, I think the last week of october...

Then... I WENT TO KYLIE'S TOUR!! On November 4th :D It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! She totally rocked! and since then, I've been so hooked with her (specially with Speakerphone)

A week later, I was walking in a mall and I saw the Special Mexican Edition of Kylie's X, which had 6 bonus tracks! (3 unreleased songs and 3 remixes), so what the hell, I bought it xD

Well, let's see, oh and I bought J.Lo's Brave album, a week ago I think. Ah, and that day I saw Kylie's Body Language but I didn't buy it because I was thinking in buying the US Edition from Amazon. But then, I realize that I hadn't much money available in the card for online shopping, so today I went to the store again and decided to buy it! It was cheap, though.

That's it! So see ya later!

2008-08-18T16:39:00.007-04:30

Well, after thinking about the price, I had some funds in PayPal and decided to get, for a reasonable low price, the latest Schiller album called Sehnsucht, which is amazing!!!

And I wanted the 2 CD + DVD Edition, also called "Super Deluxe Edition" because it was printed in limited quantities, and it costs like 100$. I got it for 60$ (including shipping, PO Box and all!).

Girls Aloud - SOTU

2008-07-02T15:14:00.002-04:30

What's up? Finally, yesterday I got a new cd that I bought months ago on eBay, and it's the first edition of the debut album of Girls Aloud "Sound of the Underground"!

The CD has this software that you install, then you record your singing (acapella) and send it to "I don't know where" and you might be a member of the GA, hahahahaha. I think it won't work anymore :P

Anyway, the CD is amazing, and I bought the 1st edition 'cause it has this song I love that doesn't features in the 2nd edition: "Don't Want You Back".

My New CD's

2008-05-20T21:55:00.005-04:30

Back to the original purpose of this blog... I'm posting the new items I bought for my Music collection :D

Sorry that I didn't post before but every time I was going to tell you, I forget... plus the job and school you know...

I GOT IT!

2008-05-02T09:06:00.002-04:30

A little quick post since I'm dying of sleepiness...

Yesterday, my boss came from Miami and he bought us (me and my best friend) the NEW MADONNA CD!!! :D So amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing. Listening to it right now.

We're so thrilled, thank you very much!

P.D.: ¿Did ya see Madonna's Hard Candy Promo Tour (MSN Broadcast)? It was so frikin' awesome.

Mild Candy

2008-04-25T22:10:00.004-04:30

UPDATE:
Yesterday I listened to it again (full) and the last 2 tracks + the bonus track "Ring my bell" ARE AMAZING! Sounds like American life or Confessions on a dance floor left off's (In fact, "Devil wouldn't recognize you" was made in 2004 before the Re-Invention Tour). AMAZING! The 9th and 10th are still weird :s
--------------------------
Heya! Just a quick post, I got the full album of Madonna's "Hard Candy" and the rest of the tracks (not the ones that leaked first) is good but not AS GOOD as the first seven... they're weird.

Btw, I'm so hooked with "Give It 2 Me" now! I SIMPLY LOVE IT! So great to know that it's gonna be the 2nd single (rumors says that Madonna is already working on the video!)

Oh and I'm posting THE REAL BACK COVER!

Madonna's HARD CANDY: Nothing like 4 minutes... WAY BETTER!

2008-04-20T19:17:00.005-04:30

Wassup! Well, right now I'm listening to the 7 tracks that have leaked onto the internet today, and I have to say I'M IMPRESSED! the songs are sooooooooo excellent! Way better than 4 minutes (even though I like it).

The songs are:
1. Candy Shop
3. Give It 2 Me
4. Heart Beat
5. Miles Away
6. She's Not Me
7. Incredible
8. Beat Goes On (Very different from the Demo version leaked earlier)

Sounds weird since my first impression with "4 Minutes" was totally the opposite, but wow, MADONNA SURE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE AMAZING ALBUMS!
And by the way, it's not PURE hip-hop like most would think based on "4 minutes" song.

Like Perez Hilton says:
"And, we must say: we're relieved!
The songs aren't straight up hip hop, as we were concerned, especially by the choice of 4 Minutes as the single.
The new material still stays true to Madonna's core as a pop/dance artist.
Oh, and by the way, the Pharrell songs blow Timbaland's out of the water!"

P.D.: I won't post the download link, because I want you to buy the album :)

Absolutely No Regrets... 4 Minutes!

2008-03-29T00:15:00.009-04:30

Ok Ok, I know that some time not far ago I wrote a post bashing the new Madonna's song and how I hated it. Well, I have to admit that now... I kinda like the song, in fact, it's very catchy and enjoyable :S Yeah yeah I know "how could you", "traitor" (some friends that still hates the song).

That's why I deleted my previous post about it. Sorry guys but it's MADONNA! I simply CAN'T hate what she does... obviously this song is not "Hung Up" or "Secret" but still I Like it now.

Enjoy the single & album cover below (which IMHO, the graphic design sucks...):

According to "Lalate News": "Insiders say that Madge, 49, cracks a whip and uses Justin Timberlake and producer Timbaland as her slaves! Madonna makes the guys beg for her and there’s a lot of sweat involved."

Plus some screen caps of her new video with Justin (thanks to DrownedMadonna.com):
click on the pic to see a larger version ;)

But the new music video looks like it's gonna be... HOT!!!

P!nk - I'm Not Dead Tour

2008-03-22T00:56:00.003-04:30

Back to the original purpose of my blog... Yesterday I went to a record store and I saw a Pink DVD called "Live At Wembley", it's her I'm Not Dead Tour from 2007. It was the LAST dvd in the store (plus it was VERY CHEAP!) and I had to have it.

In the evening I watched it, and it's VERY GREAT! Pink rules... the thing is that she just sang only a verse of "God is a DJ" (where she uses a sample of Missy Elliott's "Pass that Dutch") and the intro of "Stupid Girls" she mixed it with "Most Girls" and I thought she would sing it :(

Oh and the "Fingers" performance was INCREDIBLE, I thought she was about to fall hahaha!

Anyways, if you have the chance to see it, DO!

My 2nd Video Remix!

2008-03-12T01:38:00.004-04:30

As you may have noticed (above), I removed the Goldfrapp's new album promo and instead put a video along with a poll of my new creation: "Ooh La La (Benni Benassi Remix)".

This project is being in production, and I have made only 45 seconds of it and I give you the chance to see it and tell me if you like it or not (or if it can be improved in any way).

Feel free and PLEASE VOTE! It's important for me to know :)

If you have any comments and/or suggestions, just post a comment in this post.

[In Case you didn't see my 1st remix video, go here]

"Die Alive" Single

2008-03-06T21:15:00.005-04:30

I think you're sick to read lately only posts of Tarja, haha, but that's what is new in my music world (besides Goldfrapp's new album).

Checking on Amazon, the cover of Tarja's new single, "Die Alive", has been revealed! The single is scheduled to be out tomorrow March 7th.

Here's the track list:

1. Die Alive (Album Version)
2. Die Alive (Alternative Version)
3. Lost Northern Star (Ambience Sublow Mix)
4. Calling Grace (Full Version)
5. Die Alive (Video) <-- so we get the video in a crappy enhanced format, why not in the U.S. Bonus DVD?

Wrong "My Winter Storm" Info

2008-03-06T00:55:00.005-04:30

Hello, in my previous post I said that the U.S. version of the Tarja's "My Winter Storm" album, had "The Seer" and other tracks. But now, I checked Amazon.com and the Official Myspace of Tarja and HERE it's the real thing of what this North American edition has:

The full album (the regular 18 songs until "Calling Grace") plus these U.S. bonuses:

19. I Walk Alone [Artist Version][*]
20. You Would Have Loved This [Live][*]
21. Damned and Divine [Live][*]

The DVD remains the same as the European Deluxe Edition (No "Die Alive" video in it)

And this prooves it (Tarja's message from MySpace):

Tarja's debut has finally reached American shores and it is worth the wait. Both the regular and deluxe US versions of the record contains two bonus tracks not available anywhere else - "You Would Have Loved This (Live)" and "Damned And Divine (Live)". The deluxe version contains a DVD with the videos for "I Walk Alone", the making of My Winter Storm and more. Check out the links to US stores below for great prices on the record.

Oh, and this edition doesn't have the alternate version of "Gothic and Divine" called "Damned Vampires and Gothic Divine" nor the In Extremo remix of "I Walk Alone". Well, what the hell, I think I'm buying the USA one.

Here's the pictures of this edition (click on them for a larger view)

Just released!

2008-02-27T00:11:00.008-04:30

After spending some relaxing time at the "J.Pa's Polynesian Resort", I'm back to ma' house... And what a surprise, I got my package which had the Britney's Onyx Hotel Tour on DVD, and guess what? FINALLY I GOT THE VERSION I WANTED! --> It's from HDTV Source, meaning: It's totally widescreen, with enhanced colors and remastered audio! I was dying of excitement :D

Ok, let's stop talking about me. Today (Feb. 26th) 2 albums of my favorite artists has just been released!

1. Tarja - My Winter Storm (U.S. Edition with Bonus DVD)
Well, of what I could read in HMV's website, the only difference between this new U.S. Edition and the international edition (released back in november), is that it includes the bonus track: "The Seer" (previously released only in U.K. edition). And it doesn't even has her new video "Die Alive" :( Whyyyyy!!!! Well, let's see how accurate is this information.

2. Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree
The long awaited album of Goldfrapp's fans finally has been released! "Seventh Tree" is their 4th studio album, and they drastically changed her music style [no more electro/glam/pop like Black Cherry or Supernature], but I heard the demo version that leaked in december and I love it, it's like the Felt Mountain album with modern beats.
Can't wait to get the Special Box Edition :D

Stay tuned for more updates :) meanwhile I'm looking forward to see my favorite Britney tour in widescreen and remastered audio :D

Schiller's Video from the new album!

2008-02-24T12:11:00.002-04:30

Well, finally yesterday I heard the new Schiller's album and I simply LOVE IT! I fell in love with the song "Everything (feat. Helen Boulding)" and then I found the videos from the Bonus DVD in some rare russian website.

The lead single from "Sehnsucht" is... the song that I mentioned before, and there's an official video which I uploaded a couple of minutes ago. Take a look, it's breathtaking!

New Girls Aloud video!

2008-02-23T18:08:00.004-04:30

I know it was released some days ago, but I forgot to put it here ;)

The new video of the BEST girl band (a.k.a. "Girls Aloud") is called: "Can't Speak French" taken from their new album "Tangled Up".

Schiller's New Album

2008-02-23T17:57:00.006-04:30

Well, Yesterday (February 22nd) (finally!) was released the new Schiller's album called "Sehnsucht" (means: Long Search) and it contains 2 Cd's plus a DVD as part of this Deluxe Edition release!

Sarah Brightman's "Symphony"

2008-01-30T23:50:00.000-04:30

I got the new Mrs. Brightman's album called "Symphony" (digitally of course, it hasn't been released here yet), and I simply love it!

I made a sample mix of all the songs that are in it, so you can listen and if you like... BUY IT!!! (enjoy!)

Oh, here is the track list (the one in bold are my favorites):

01. Gothica
02. Fleurs Du Mal
03. Symphony
04. Canto Della Terra (feat. Andrea Bocelli)
05. Sanvean
06. I Will Be With You (Where The Lost Ones Go) (feat. Paul Stanley)
07. Schwere Träume
08. Sarai Qui (feat. Alessandro Safina)
09. Storia d'Amore
10. Let It Rain
11. Attesa
12. Pasión (feat. Fernando Lima)
13. Running

Hidden track: "Gothica/Fleurs Du Mal" (Orchestral Version)

Note: The song "I Will Be With You" is with different singer, the movie version is with Chris Thompson (the guy that sang in "How Can Heaven Love Me"), which in my opinion is WAY better than this one...

Tarja's New Video!!!: "Die Alive"

2008-01-29T19:34:00.000-04:30

I knew that Tarja's new video would be out soon, but didn't know it was TODAY! Today is the video premiere of it, I so love it... dark, modern enigmatic...

The wait was totally worth it! Check it out:

Promo Video of Sarah's NEW Album!

2008-01-20T23:39:00.000-04:30

So I was browsing through Amazon websites and suddenly... in the page of Sarah Brightman's new album "Symphony" (scheduled to be released on January 29th), I was a Related video to it...

It's a promo video of Sarah's new songs from the album and features her singing in the set of her ¿photo shoot? of the CD! All Gothic and beautiful! When I saw it, I got chills! Can't wait for the album!!!

Here it is... enjoy!

A New Madonna's Unreleased song!

2008-01-20T23:19:00.001-04:30

Wooow! Just a few minutes ago, a friend of mine told me that a new Madonna's song leaked in the internet, and she sent it to me...

The song is called "Keep the Trance", it's an Unreleased song from her "Confessions On A Dance Floor" sessions! It's very cool, I like it, very disco-ish...

According to Wikipedia:
"Keep The Trance: A demo of this track co-written by Madonna and Mirwais, and recorded during the album sessions was leaked in January 2008. The version leaked is a short edit of the track. The song was eventually reworked into the Live Earth charity release "Hey You", which has very similar lyrics."

Listen to it!

Goldfrapp's NEW VIDEO!

2008-01-20T23:14:00.000-04:30

As I said before, I'll be also posting some major news about my favorite artists, so this is the first:

The NEW Goldfrapp's video is out and it's simply amazing! It's the first single from their forthcoming album "Seventh Tree", called "A&E".

You can see/hear that they changed drastically their musical style since their last 2 albums which were Electro-Glam Pop, but I still like it!

Hope you enjoy it :D

Musical Break

2008-01-09T21:25:00.000-04:30

Well, I've finished posting my CD collection that I have so far. Too many aren't they? But from now on, I will post the new Music Items that I'll get (online shopping or local record store), as well as the major news of music updates and releases of my favorite artists!

So stay tuned for more news of my music collection,
and see how it's growing!
-Enjoy the silence... or should I say, the music?-

Soundtrack

2008-01-09T20:35:00.000-04:30

Usually, I don't buy Soundtrack CD's unless the movie is one of my favorites ever! There's 3 CD's that I want to buy but I wasn't able to get them yet, but soon I will!

The Lion King (1994)

My first and only soundtrack CD. I remember when the movie was released in theaters, I wanted to watch it madly, and I loved it (also cried hehe). Then I got this album, it's very cool.

P.D.: The Soundtracks that I want to buy are: "The Hours" (normal and the piano version), "Moulin Rouge" (the 2 disc set) and "Da Vinci Code" (Hans Zimmer is one of the most brilliant composers ever!)

1 Album Artists

2008-01-09T19:46:00.001-04:30

This one is about those singers that doubtly I think I'll get more than one album of them. Not that I don't like them, in fact, there's many artists here that I like very much, but I'm not that fan to get their other CD's, or simply because I like some songs from THIS album and not the others.
Also, there are those albums that doesn't have more than 1 release.

Rachel Stevens - Come and Get It (2005)

UK release only of this AMAZING album of the former member of "S Club 7". Too bad this album wasn't released worldwide, it's so good! Lots of dance and catchy songs. I got used to the Original advance album track list, and the official release has ALL the songs mixed in different order...

Delerium - The Best Of (2004)

European famous Dark-Electronic Band! I got to know them through a song that a friend of mine sent to me. I got their best of album (I always do that when I discover new artists) and couldn't get their songs out of my head, all of them are so brilliant! I downloaded their discography and their first albums are kinda more dark and slower than the latest ones, but still, amazing!

Shakira - En Vivo y en Privado (2004)

CD+DVD set packaged in a regular CD case, this is the Spanish Edition. The DVD has the full "Tour of the Mongoose" concert filmed in Holland and the CD has some excerpts of the concert. Also, the DVD contains a lot of Bonus features like her documentary during the tour, her ONU activities, etc. When I bought this album, they gave me for free her "Laundry Service" (Spanish version) album, but I sold it later because I needed money.

Beth Orton - Pass In Time: The Definitive Collection (2003)

This is the Limited 2-CD Edition, which contains remixes and alternate versions in the Bonus CD. She's a Folk-Electronica singer, she has many awesome songs mixing her chilled voice with a slow electronica beat. Really good if you want just to sit and relax. She also featured in the soundtrack of the Madonna's movie "The Next Best Thing".

Björk - Greatest Hits (2002)

This wacky singer really RULES! I like her music very much but I'm no fan because I only like her singles, not the whole albums. Too bad that this compilation doesn't include my favorite song of her, "Violently Happy". Ah, the packaging is VERY weird, it's soooo slim :S There's also an alternate cover version in Pink.

Kylie Minogue - Fever (2002)

Who hasn't heard of Kylie? If you haven't, you must be living under a rock! This is the regular 12 Track edition but with an alternate cover.

Singles & Various:
Alenka Gotar - Cvet Z Juga (2007)

Single of the Slovenian singer that participated in the European show "Eurovision (2007)". I've never been a fan of this show, until I heard Alenka's performance when I was in my best friend's house. Her song is so powerful and dramatic, she mixes the Pop with Opera like Sarah Brightman but her voice and style is So Tarja! Alenka should've won :( I'm still waiting for her solo album.

Mariah Carey - It's Like That (2005)

Her first single from her album "The Emancipation of Mimi". I'm not fan of Mariah, although I like several songs of her. She has a very beautiful voice but she's too Diva :S Bought this single in Orlando back in 2005 also.

I Love Celtic Moods (2006)

This Argentinian album covers the most famous Pop songs in Medieval/Celtic music, played by Paul Brooks. It contains a lot of flouts. Ah, it's an instrumental album!

I Love France (2006)

From the same company of the album above. Gave this CD to my mom as her birthday present. She loves Old French Music, so I knew this one was made for her. I also liked it, so I kept it with me :P

Forgotten Dance Music (One Hit Wonder)

2008-01-09T19:19:00.000-04:30

This post is about those bands that had those 1 time hits (which were very very popular) but never got to establish as a long-time career band, only had like 2 albums and puff... dead.

A.T.C. - Planet Pop (2001)

Famous song: "Around the World". Does anyone remember them? It was player over the radio again and again, and the video of the song kept on being played in the TV. Also, they released another famous song called "My Heart Beats Like a Drum".

Vengaboys - The Platinum Album (2001)

Famous song: "Kiss (When The Sun Don't Shine)". A failed attempt to get back on the Mainstream scene. After their BIG success with the first album, they released this one but didn't go that well in the charts.

Vengaboys - The Party Album! (1999)

Famous song: "We Like to Party". Ahhhhh how can anyone forget that song, I bet you sing it or ask someone today about it and everyone will remember it and they even WILL KNOW THE LYRICS! That song was a total ICON in the society. Then, they released the "Boom Boom Boom Boom" song, which also got very famous.

Aqua - Aquarium (1997)

Famous song: "Barbie Girl". The Legendry Aqua! Young adults that don't have this CD in their houses, simply DIDN'T LIVE their youth in School! One of the famous 1-hit bands of all time! There are several good songs in this album. They also released a second album in 2000 (looking forward to get it too) which was a hit also, but they split due to artistic differences and well... the end.

Singles:
Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On (2004)

This song was a hit in the Mainstream U.S. Chart, I don't remember where I heard it first time, but I liked it very much, specially the extended mix that featured a girl. I bought this Single in Orlando back in 2005, I was kinda disappointed but blah...

Vengaboys - Boom Boom Boom Boom (1999)

In the cover it says "the XXL version", but I suppose it's because this single has a lot of remixes of that song. Don't know WHY really I got this single...

Girls Aloud

2008-01-09T19:14:00.001-04:30

The famous British girl band that has been hitting the music business very hard since 2000. I was introduced to them by a Canadian friend of mine, and after a few listenings, with their catchy songs, I began to like them very much. People say that they are the new Spice Girls but I doubt it.
Others, say that they are the UK version of "The Pussycat Dolls" which I DO NOT AGREE! Pussycat Dolls SUCK!!!!!!!!

The Sound of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits (2006)

15-Track Import Edition. First, I wanted to get the Limited 2-CD Edition but it's so hard to find it now :( Instead, I ended buying the regular edition.

Tarja Turunen

2008-01-09T19:09:00.001-04:30

She is the former vocalist of "Nightwish". Since I'm a big fan of them, I also fell in love with Tarja's powerful and dark operatic voice! She's brilliant, she was the Heart of Nightwish, but well... Life's gotta move on! I have to get her new solo album as soon as possible!

Henkäys Ikuisuudesta (2006)

A Christmas CD that includes some famous folk songs for this season plus some brand new songs. This doesn't count as her first "solo" album since it's just a X-mas project.

Depeche Mode

2008-01-09T19:03:00.000-04:30

Got to know them with their "Dream On" video and liked very much their music style. After trying several times to get their Best Of CD, finally I got it. I saw that compilation here and it's so damn expensive!

The Best Of, Volume 1 (2006)

CD+DVD Edition. The cover is also different than the regular "Best Of" edition (blue cover), the only thing that changes is the color.

'Nsync + JC Chasez

2008-01-09T18:29:00.000-04:30

Never been into these boy band stuff, although they were cool. I like JC's solo album, it's very very great! So much better than the stupid fuckin' Justin (I hate him a lot). New JC's album will be released later this year!

Schizophrenic (2004)

First JC's solo album. With 2 Bonus Tracks: "Blowing Me Up" & "Some Girls (feat. McDirt)"

Greatest Hits (2005)

Their hits plus some new songs. Includes a Bonus DVD with their videos.

Gwen Stefani + No Doubt

2008-01-09T18:20:00.000-04:30

No Doubt rocks, it's such a shame that I didn't go to the concert here :'( But well... other day. After Gwen went solo, she changed drastically her style but I liked it.

Love Angel Music Baby (2004)

Gwen's first solo album.

Rock Steady (2001)

Return of Saturn (2000)

Celine Dion

2008-01-09T13:41:00.000-04:30

I suppose most of you got to know Celine for her song from "Titanic", so did I! I know most of people hate or dislike her for unknown rare reasons, but I Love her! Her silky smooth and versatile voice is so charming! I'm not a die-hard fan but I enjoy very much listening to her.

A New Day Has Come (2002)

Bought recently for a cheap price.

All the Way... A Decade of Song (1999)

Latin American edition, includes a Spanish version of the song "All By Myself" called "Sola Otra Vez" and misses the song "Love Can Move Mountains" and "If You Asked Me To". Half of the disc are her greatest hits, and the other half are brand new songs which among them is the lead single "That's the Way It Is".

Pink

2008-01-09T13:27:00.001-04:30

I fell in love with Pink when she released her first album with the single "You Make Me Sick". God, that was an incredible song (and video too). Then, from her second album to now, I was surprised with her music-style change :s Went to pop (with Missundaztood) to some weird punk/pop/rock style. But anyways, I still like her very much! She ain't no other dumb young girl in the Music Biz, her songs are powerful and the lyrics are so great!

I'm Not Dead (2006)

International edition with one Bonus Track: "Fingers".

Try This (2003)

Bought for 1$ haha.

Missundaztood (2002)

2008-01-09T13:19:00.000-04:30

Life for Rent (2003)

No Angel (2001)

Limited UK Edition which includes a Bonus CD with remixes. Different cover also.

Evanescence

2008-01-09T13:12:00.000-04:30

I got into Evanescence with their first single "Bring Me To Life", Amy Lee's voice is so angelic! They rock! But then, with the second album they began to go down... Later, I discovered Nightwish! and well... I think you KNOW whom I chose! :P

The Open Door (2007)

The artwork is simply beautiful!

Fallen (2003)

2008-01-09T12:51:00.000-04:30

This is a collection of various jazz singers covering the famous 80's and 90's songs in their own unique style! I love this collection! The first time I heard about it was in a Record store when I heard the Jazz version of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" and I found it very impressive, then I listened to the whole CD and it's really worth it, I recommend it to everyone if you wanna spend a calmed evening in your house with candles :P

Destiny's Child

2008-01-09T12:30:00.000-04:30

I got to like them at the same time I was J.Lo's fan, but after their "Survivor" album and their fake "split", I stopped to like them, and Beyoncé's solo albums ARE SOOO BAD! except her most famous singles.
Destiny's Child = Beyonce and the two background singers!

Survivor (2001)

Extra tracks edition. Has 3 songs more, 18 in total.

Singles:
Bootylicious

U.S. Maxi Single.

Survivor

Bought some weird 4 Track Single (I think it's not from the U.S. and certainly it's not the Maxi). It would've been better if I had bought the Maxi that has Calderone Mixes and the Remix version featuring Da Brat.

Independent Women, Pt. 1

Swedish 4 Track Edition.

Schiller

2008-01-09T12:18:00.000-04:30

I got into Schiller through Sarah Brightman's "Harem Tour" CD, she has 2 songs with them and I liked them so much that I got their other CD's and they're soooo good! Schiller first releases his new albums in Germany and like 1 or 2 years later, they release the U.S. edition which has different track listing and new songs. I have the U.S. Editions.

t.A.T.u.

2008-01-08T23:06:00.000-04:30

Moby

2008-01-08T22:16:00.000-04:30

Now, THIS IS FUNNY: Web surfing on eBay as usual, I typed Moby to see what will I get. Suddenly, I see some guy selling for 9$ 3 albums all pimped with 2-CD and limited editions!!! At first I thought they were those cheap Chinese editions, but NO! They're all original U.S. Editions! What that guy was thinking for selling at that price! :O But hey! GOOD FOR ME, right? :D

We Are Glitter (2006)

Compilation of remixes of their latest album "Supernature".

Supernature (2005)

Dolores O'Riordan

2008-01-08T21:57:00.000-04:30

To be honest, I have only heard the song "Just My Imagination" from Cranberries and totally ignored the rest of them. One day a friend of mine sent me the "Human Spirit" song from her solo album and I just loved it, I downloaded her CD and woooow... Simply amazing. Plus the video of her lead single of her solo album is totally impressive, I believe the director is my lost brother! hahaha.

Are You Listening? (2007)

I wanted the Japanese edition with the 3 bonus tracks, but my dad bought the regular edition in Spain. Who cares?

Are You Listening [Sampler] (2007)

Sampler with 2 tracks of her "forthcoming" album. It includes a promo discount coupon of her CD.

Ordinary Day [UK Single] (2007)

I heard of Anastacia a long time ago but never paid too much attention until I heard the remix of "Left Outside Alone" in 2005 in a club!

Jennifer Lopez's Singles

2008-01-08T21:12:00.000-04:30

Nightwish!

2008-01-08T20:12:00.000-04:30

As it might seem surprising for you... YES!, I Love the symphonic metal! In fact, I began to be a Nightwish fan after hang out (back in 2004) a lot with my friends that I met through a friend. We had so much fun and they always were listening to their latest album to date: Once. I ended up liking them so much that I became a hard die fan of them, specially my lovely vocalist: Tarja Turunen whom was kicked out of the band in 2005 :(

Angels Fall First (1997)

Contains 1 bonus track: "Once Upon a Troubador".

Also, to feed my 5.1 Surround Sound addiction (after being hooked with Britney's DVD Audio), I found that there was a DVD-Audio Edition of the album "Once", mixed obviously in 5.1 plus some great goodies and videos! I JUST HAD TO HAVE IT!

Singles:

I don't own many singles of them because they only have the regular album editions and some live tracks, BUT I have these two for special reasons:

Sleeping Sun (2005)

This single contains the Full & Edit version of the 2005 re-make (which I don't like), but it also has the ORIGINAL 1998 version of Sleeping Sun that I don't have in any of my albums.

This single contains the bonus "White Night Fantasy" and the ORCHESTRAL version of "Nemo".

Now the singles and other stuff I have of her:

Someday (I Will Understand) - Japanese EP

I had to have this single (japanese import) because it has 3 unreleased tracks from the In The Zone sessions: "Chaotic", "Over To You Now" & "Mona Lisa".

Stronger

The Maxi-Single of her 3rd single from "Oops! I Did It Again".

Oops! I Did It Again

The Limited UK Edition of this single. It's full of remixes!

AND MY FAVORITE:

In The Zone (DVD-Audio Edition)

The DVD-Audio edition of the album "In The Zone". It has the entire album mixed in 5.1 Surround (amazingly, different than the DualDisc mix which is $h!t). In the Video DVD side, it has the videos of "Me Against the Music" and "Toxic".

Oh, and I also have:

Outrageous - VINYL

The Vinyl edition of this single (released only in Japan).

Toxic - PROMO VINYL

3-Track Vinyl. Bought in the Virgin Mega Store.

Blackout (2007)

The regular edition of her latest album, I wanted the Japanese edition but, what the hell!

In The Zone (2004) - Dual Disc

The Dual Disc edition (CD+DVD) of her BEST album. It has 13 regular songs, and in the DVD has some shitty 5.1 Surround Mix of the album (the DVD-Audio Surround Mix is amazing!!!) and 3 videos: Toxic, Everytime and the Chris Cox Megamix.

In The Zone (2003) - Aussie Import

Australian Import of my favorite album. It contains 2 bonus tracks: "The Answer" & "Don't Hang Up".

The second album of the princess. I think this Latin American edition has an extra track: "Girl in the Mirror".

...Baby One More Time (1999)

Madonna's Albums

2008-01-04T23:02:00.000-04:30

So... I'll begin with my all time favorite singer: Madonna! Became a fan like in 1998, with her "Ray of Light" album release, I just simply fell in love with her video Frozen when it was aired on MTV, then I got more hooked with The Power of Good-Bye video and then... the rest is history!

So, here's my Madonna's albums that I have so far (only albums, not singles!):

The Confessions Tour (2007) - DVD+CD
Bought in Amazon.com as a Pre-order, and got it the next week. I loved the concert, and I'm glad I could watch the whole concert, not cut like the NBC broadcast.

I'm Going to Tell You a Secret (2006) - DVD+CD
My dad traveled to Montreal, Canada in the same week when Madonna did her show there, and he didn't go! Argghhhh, instead he bought me this DVD and the "Get Together" single. This documentary during her 2004's "Re-Invention Tour" has some extra footage of her Kabbalah stuff... PLEASE! RELEASE THE FULL CONCERT! hahaha.

Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005)

Brought to me by my dad during his trip in France, he bought it on the same day it was released! On the right, it's the limited edition of this album, including a bonus track called "Fighting Spirit" plus it has a 40-pages of pure Madonna's photoshoot and the crappy ICON 30-days trial, hahaha!

Remixed and Revisited (2003) - EP

Ah well, this is the compilation of remixes from her "American Life" album. Bought it here, in Venezuela, the booklet is different from the U.S. edition, it has this shiny plastic paper.

American Life (2003)

I bought this one in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic while I was in my High School graduation trip. I believe this CD is bootleged but I don't know... Anyway, seems original to me. Then I bought the Limited Edition release for 3$, I'm serious! 3 bucks! in Amazon's Marketplace, brand new! It has posters, stickers, etc.

GHV2 (2001) - Limited Edition

First, I bought here in Venezuela the normal edition, but then I got this limited edition and I sold the other one. There's no much difference with the regular one, just that the case is hard-cover and it has more pictures in the booklet. My maid throw away the plastic cover that had this sticker saying "Limited Edition" :(

In the Spotlight with Madonna (2001) - Bootleg UK disc

Well, this CD I bought at the Orlando's Virgin Megastore because I've never seen this one. It's basically an Audio-Book about her biography and includes some fun stuff for the PC like screensavers and games. The bootleg is very cool, has almost every picture of Madonna's career (Over 90 pages).

Music (2000) - Grey Limited Edition

The same as GHV2, bought the regular edition and sold it. Got this limited edition, the gray edition, because there's 4 different edition being the Black one, the most RARE to find (Only 1000 copies made). As usual, my maid thrown away the sticker from the plastic envelope.

The Next Best Thing (2000) - Soundtrack

At first, I wasn't going to buy this one since it has only 2 Madonna songs, and I already had the "American Pie" single. But one day, I went to a Music Store and saw this CD only for 12.000 Bs. (5,6 in U.S. dollars), so I said, what the hell. And I got it!

Ray of Light (1998) - Promo Limited Edition

My very first Madonna CD was "Ray of Light" (the regular edition) but then, after listening to it a lot, it got very fucked up so I don't put it here since its thrown somewhere in my house. I bought this limited edition back in 2002 from eil.com. It has this sticker in the back saying "Promotional Use Only" :D

Evita (1996) - Soundtrack / 2-CD Edition

I never meant to buy this CD as "Evita" wasn't my favorite era of Madonna. But then, I was selling some other CD to a friend and he said why don't we trade and he offered this one to me. So i said: "sure", that's how I got it.

Something to Remember (1995)

Got this one in a music store here in Caracas. It's imported from U.S. so it doesn't include the Spanish version of the song "You'll See". It's a nice compilation of her ballads until 1995.

Bedtime Stories (1994)

Bought in the old CDnow.com store (now owned by Amazon).

Erotica (1992)
Stupid me!!! I remember choosing my cd's to buy in CDnow, and I saw there were two editions of this album. The normal one and the "clean" edition. I thought the clean edition had better quality, so I got this one. What I didn't know is that the clean version meant that it's censored! (yeah stupid me), and it doesn't have the song "Did You Do It?" (not that it's a great song or something, but still!)

The Immaculate Collection (1990)
Colombian edition of her greatest songs from her 80s era, plus 2 new tracks: "Justify My Love" & "Rescue Me". The old songs has been mixed into slightly different versions.

I'm Breathless (1990) - "Soundtrack"

This CD is supposed to be the soundtrack of her film "Dick Tracy" but contains a lot of song NOT from the film, including "Vogue", so I count this CD as her regular album.

Like a Prayer (1989)

Don't remember where I got it, but this CD is amazing! It rocks! Oh and I also have the japanese edition of this album. A friend of mine told me that the mom of a friend of her had this CD bought in Japan and she didn't want it anymore, so I got it for like 2 dollars! hahaha. Nothing new or any bonus in it, but who cares right?

You Can Dance (1987)

Never been interested in this CD, cause it's just a bunch of Madonna's 80s songs mixed up. My dad traveled to Chicago in 2001 and bought this one as he thought I didn't have it, and I didn't!. After a few listenings, I started to like it, it's very cool though if you're in the eighties mood!

Who's That Girl? (1987) - Soundtrack
Oh, I have an interesting story with this CD. I bought on Amazon, when I got it and put into the CD player, it wasn't the "Who's That Girl" album, it was some strange 80's rock music which my Windows Media Player couldn't detect the ID. I wrote to Amazon about this and they requested to return the item, I went to the Post Office and the shipping to Kansas was like 30$ and I said "hell no". So Amazon send it again but charged me again :( And this time was the correct one! The misprinted one it's somewhere in the drawer.

True Blue (1986) - Remastered 2001 Edition

Bought this one in Miami back in 2001. It's the remastered version of this album. It has 2 bonus tracks which are extended mixes of the songs "La Isla Bonita" and "True Blue". By the way, the cover is different: it doesn't have the Madonna - True Blue name on it, just the picture.

Like a Virgin (1984) - Remastered 2001 Edition

Same story as with "True Blue", bought in Miami and has 2 extended mixes of "Like a Virgin" and "Material Girl".

Madonna (1983) - Remastered 2001 Edition

Also as the two above, but this is the Latin American edition, which has the spine of the CD slightly different but the content is the same. Included 2 extended mixes of "Lucky Star" and "Burning Up".

Those are the Madonna's albums I have so far, as you can see, I have almost every CD that has been released (officially of course)

So... Hello!
