Just Picked Up: Maxwell — BLACKsummers'night

Picked this up on Saturday.  Again, at Target.  My favorite CD-pick-up-store.  I really wanted to fall in love with this because I’ve fallen in love with “Pretty Wings.”  But, alas, I did not.  I think it may be one of those slow romances where I will fall in the end.  For now, I am intrigued and still »

Just Picked Up: Michael Jackson — Thriller 25
