Am I the only one excited for tonight's Game 6 of the World Series? I went to espn.com to read about tonight's game. Other than a small box at the top of their main website, there is no other mention of tonight's game.The pitching match up is very good: Pedro Martinez vs. Andy Pettite. This should be a great game. Two playoff tested pitchers in the twilight of their careers going for one more shot of glory. (If the Phillies win, it'll even be a more exciting pitching match up: 2-0 Cliff Lee vs. 2-0 CC Sabathia.) The Yankees are trying for their 27th World Championship on one hand and the Phillies are trying to defend their World Series Championship on the other hand. Other interesting storylines: Andy Pettite is the all-time postseason winning starting pitcher. Yankee's closer, Mariano Riveria, is nearly unhittable in the postseason. Which Brad Lidge will show up? The one who blew 11 saves in the regular season or the Lidge who has nearly been perfect in the postseason.
A band I'm very interested in, Them Crooked Vultures, has released a free song through iTunes. The song is called "Mind Chaser, No Eraser". It's a worthy song of the musicians in the band, including Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones. rhapsody.com also has started releasing free MP3's again. Today's selection is by jazz musician Melody Gardot. The song is called "Baby I'm A Fool". This is also a pretty cool song, it has a really mellow vibe.
This is always a great time of year for new music. Here are some of the most interesting CD's of fall and winter seasons. The following is the CD's release date, album title, artist and themusicaddict's excitement level about it. That's out of 1-10 *'s with 10 being I want to go steal it right now. (Unfortunately I can't afford them.)
September 8th, 2009: "Here Comes Science"- They Might Be Giants *****
September 14th, 2009: "Mi Plan"- Nelly Furtado. This is a Spanish language CD. I'd be more excited if I knew Spanish. (However Shakira's Spanish language CD's are pretty good.) *******
September 15th, 2009: "Get Lucky"- Mark Knopfler The former lead singer for Dire Straits is an under appreciated artist. I don't know how good this CD is, but I highly recommend his 2000 CD "Sailing to Philadelphia". *****
"Resistance"- Muse I downloaded the first single free from rhapsody.com. I really like it. I don't know if the CD is any good but "Uprising" is a great song. ******
September 29th, 2009: "Revolution"- Miranda Lambert The singer who sang about old boyfriends and relationships in "Kerosene" is back. *****
"Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel"- Mariah Carey. "The Emancipation of Mimi" was pretty good so ******
"Brand New Eyes"- Paramore **********
"Celebration"- Madonna (A two CD greatest hits collection.) *********

"Believe"- Orianthi I never heard of her before Tuesday, but a song from this CD is the iTunes free song of the week. The name of the song is "According To You" and it's a great song. *****
November 3rd, 2009: "Play On"- Carrie Underwood *********
