Your First CD/tape/record etc.

I was sitting around, listening to my iPod when I heard a song I haven't heard in a long time: Back to Life by Soul II Soul. It's from the album Keep on Movin'. This was my first CD I had ever gotten. My dad gave it to me after I found it among his things. For a few months, it was all I listened to and absorbed into my skin. Though I haven't heard it in a long time, I still remember some of the songs very well. I love the title track.

Here it is on Amazon:

So I am curious readers...what was your first CD/tape/record etc.? It doesn't matter if it was given to you or if you bought it yourself. How did your first album end up in your hands?

By the way, welcome to the first official post of Songkiss'd. You can either leave a comment or send an e-mail to song.kissd@gmail.com with your response. If you are a member of the Songkiss'd blog on MySpace, send a message or send a tweet @music_views on Twitter. Either way, let's dive in because Songkiss'd has been waiting too long to emerge.

Let's explore the kiss of music!

Today is a new day...

I have been trying to make this into a community blog for a while. A blog that everyone can contribute to so that we can all share in this wonderful thing called music. Because music is not just about what's on your iPod. Music has to be made, written, taught, sung, danced, lived. I guess I still have the dream, but being the owner of this blog and an aspiring music critic, I should be writing blogs on here too. Maybe this will encourage others to contribute. Who knows...I know I don't and I have been trying to find out.

I have several ideas for Songkiss'd. There is a MySpace and today, I made a Twitter account for quick music reviews. I think that this is a dandy idea. You can see updates to the Twitter account at the sidebar.

So as the first post of Songkiss'd, what is this about? Nothing truly musical. Just my thoughts on what I want Songkiss'd to be. I hope that people will start paying attention to this little blog and want to contribute. Of course if you do, this is out of your own free will. For your love of music or as your exposure as a writer. I am just a college student with a vision, so I hope you know there will be no compensation. I wish there could be. Maybe if I can turn this into a full-fledged webzine one day, maybe I could.

Interesting fact: The color white makes sound bounce off walls easily, creating a loud echo.

This is someone I have always remembered from my physics of sound class.
