FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2005 VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT GUIDE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 7
LOVENOTES
By Bailey DeReus, KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
There isn't a bad time to enjoy music. For Valentine's Day, or for a gift anytime during the year, a CD is something that people will always enjoy.
Mark Rosebery at Kief's Downtown Music, 823 Massachusetts St., says music is a personal preference and what is considered romantic to one person could be anything from the Beatles to Frank Sinatra. Tamyra Heim, Kief's employee, mentioned the Garden State soundtrack and Madaline Peyroux, a modern Billie Holiday blues-jazzy singer, as popular items at the store recently.
"Box sets are very good gifts to give," said Lauren Arnold and Amanda Meyers, employees at Love Garden Sounds. Some that the store has include a variety of bluegrass sets as well as a Metallica set that includes five records. Arnold and Meyers also recommended Sam Cook and Dusty Springfield as sensual music.
Iron and Wine also made their list as a gift for a significant other. "It's good for your girlfriend or boyfriend because its romantic and pretty," said Meyers.
One of the most popular CD purchases at Hastings Books Music & Video, 1900 W. 23rd St., is the Garden State soundtrack. "We always seem to be playing it here in the store and a lot of people ask about it," said Dayne Glass, Hasting's employee. "Its mellow, laid-back and everyone pretty much likes it." Glass also recommends The Killers and believes rap is currently a very popular genre.
