I got the last of my CDs from the CD Swap this weekend, and I couldn't be more excited about all my new CDs. A lot of the music was new to me, so I'm having a blast listening to all of it. The packaging was also incredibly creative and varied, so I took pictures of them all:

Fragments, from Amy:

Songs to Hold Hands To, from Rachel:

Meatheads, Gangstas, and Hipplies Oh My!, from Chris:

iloveyousockcat, from Nathaniel:

State to State, from Tricia:

And, last but not least - Rainy Morning Music, from Me:

Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap
Tropicalia - Beck
Let Go - Frou Frou
About Fun - Psapp
Clocks - Coldplay
The Black Keys Work - Erlend Oye
In the Waiting Line - Zero 7
Between The Bars - Elliott Smith
Starry Eyed Surprise - Paul Oakenfold
Tiger, My Friend - Psapp
Holding Out for a Hero - Frou Frou
Take My Hand - Dido

Be sure to check out the next swap, the Dual Disc Debacle. :)

I currently subscribe to only three magazines, so this month I was intrigued to see that two of the three (Real Simple and Domino) wrote almost identical articles listing places to buy art and prints online. I've always been interested in the idea of collecting art, although most of the places listed below are waaay out of my price range (my latest art purchase totalled $18 on eBay). But man can you do some serious window shopping! I've listed the links from the two articles, as well as a few of my own favorites..
