I just bought my first official itunes cd (bought the ipod in Miami), and I chose Peal’s “Beautiful Baby Elephant”. I heard some of their songs on myspace almost two years ago, and have been “looking” for more of their music ever since. Trying out the whole itunes thing was my excuse to finally get my hands on some more of the PEAL songs.

I love Carousel Junkie, Fall Away, Maria and Lines.

They have kind of a Goo Goo Dolls sound to them, but still very much in the start out phase. I do think that the melodies are especially good, even though I’m not sure about the lyrics yet. The best line is from “Let Me Breathe”, which goes like this:
“When there’s nothing wrong there’s nothing to say”
And when you think about it its true. I know that I feel most inspired about my writing when something’s wrong..

All in all, good first itune album for me and my lovely pink ipod, that I have chosen to name “JurassicPod” in dedication to my all time favourite film (thats “Jurassic Park” for you slow people out there )
