God Help the Girl, she needs all the help she can get

Who doesn't love music? The right song can make you feel 100x better, not to mention kick start a killer dance party in your living room! Some of my favorite songs are sad songs that either help you through a gloomy day or that you just appreciate so much because of their beauty and sadness. I think CDs are probably some of the worst things to happen to the planet though. They're not recyclable (as far as I know) and people just throw them into the trash can to end up in a landfill somewhere where it will lay until the end of time.
The best solution for this problem is digital files. I recently bought the album God Help the Girl after reading about it in Teen Vogue while waiting for a haircut. Here's what Last.fm has to say about God Help the Girl:

God Help the Girl is a musical film written by Belle and Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch. Murdoch has already been at work on demos for the soundtrack. The soundtrack of God Help the Girl will be recorded in spring 2008, and the film is set to go into production in 2009.


Obviously a little dated but the album is amazing! The Teen Vogue review never mentioned a film but it'll be interesting to see. The songs are super cute and very Ronnettes-y. I think my favorite songs are God Help the Girl and Perfection as a Hipster.

In other CD news, instead of ending up in a landfill I'm taking all of my old CDs that I don't want anymore to half priced books and if there are any they won't take I'll give those to Good Will or something. I'm sure they can't wait to get their hands on Aqua and McMusic 11!
