Spoiling myself

muck_a_luckI received an Amazon gift card from a certain party this Christmas. Also, I had about $4 left from an old one from last Christmas.
So I have made my first digital music purchases via download.
I like Amazon, because the use of the files is unrestricted.
I bought some oldies that I really like but I would probably never go looking for a CD by the artist. Also, some things from the radio, both recent and from the mid 90's. I didn't listen to popular music on the radio between about 1996 and 2007, so you will note the gap. And a few Stargate fans will be amused by a couple of my choices:
Stress - Jim's Big Ego
Where Have All The Cowboys Gone? - Paula Cole
I'd Really Love To See You Tonight - England Dan
Drift Away - Uncle Kracker
Put Your Records On - Corrinne Bailey Rae
Black Horse And The Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall
The Rose (LP Version)- Bette Midler
Sometimes When We Touch - Dan Hill
Are You Gonna Be My Girl (Album Version) - Jet
Walkin' On The Sun - Smashmouth
I was sadly unable to buy:
Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand - Primitive Radio Gods
Bad Touch - The Bloodhound Gang
The Way - Fastball
The Female of the Species - Space
Being with You - Smokey Robinson
Turn the Beat Around - Gloria Estevan's version
Livin' la Vida Loca - Ricky Martin
I decided not to get any Cake or Killers, becuase really, I just need to buy their albums, I think. I want more than one song by those bands, which is usually an indicator that I need to give the group a try, not just pick up a single.
Cellmate liked 10 of 12, so yay! Though she continues to boggle at my eclectic musical taste. I realize that compared to most of you, I don't know much, but compared to her... :D
I have money left, so I will probably spoil myself some more in a couple of weeks.
