New music. I love the concept of remixes. Most of the time, anyway. Taking a song and making it sound different -- it can get really interesting. My all-time favorite is I'm Real,Jennifer Lopez featuring Ja Rule. So many people called that the best song of 2001, and I agree. Right now, I like Linkin Park's In the End remix.

Yesterday, during the whole cleaning escapade, I was listening to the radio and heard Justin Timberlake's new single. I love *NSync. I'm fine with Justin doing solo stuff, as long as he doesn't hurt the group as a whole. (And as long as Lance comes back safe, he can go into space as many times as he wants to.) Anyway, it's called Like I Love You. It's got an interesting beat (produced by the Neptunes), but the words get lost under all the music. I can barely tell what he's saying, or if it even makes any sense. The funny part is, I heard it on one radio station, and then again about 3 minutes later on a different station, which claimed it had the "exclusive."

Dance music is not really my thing, though. It doesn't seem to fit in on the radio. I was really surprised when I heard two songs on the radio that are acoustic versions of dance songs: Days Go By, by Dirty Vegas, and Heaven, by DJ Sammy. The girl that sings Heaven has a really pretty voice. I think I like the acoustic versions better. (I'd link to mp3 versions of all these songs, but it's getting late, so I have to go.) TTFN.
