Need help picking a CD for a friend...

Subject: Need help picking a CD for a friend... Mon Jan 05, 2009 2:51 pm

See, one of my friends has a b-day tomorrow and for the past 10 years or so, we buy each other CD's for each other's birthdays... Only this year I really don't have a clue what to get her.... It's kind of hard to pick something for her, because she's very opinionated, and well.... Since everyone likes to show off how much they know about music, I thought maybe someone could suggest something..

Stuff that I know she likes: Nirvana, MGMT, Elliott Smith, the Shins, the White Stripes, Britney Spears (but in an ironic way)... That's all I can remember at the mo'....

HELP!

Also, I'd appreciate if you directed me to songs that I can hear, because I can't buy her something without hearing it first...

Is a CD a pretty standard present for a girl to buy another girl? I brought a whole pack of CD-Rs to a club last week and I still didn't pull.

It's standard for us... I've never bought her anything else, and she's never bought me anything else...

I have another friend who likes Animal Collective, and they're friends with eachother, so she probably already knows it...

i have no specific suggestions but why not try going to last.fm, typing in some of the artists you mentioned and look at the similar artists it suggests. if theyre no good, look at the similar artists to them...and so on and so forth..
