My new favorite playlist
So last week my external hard drive got corrupted. What does this mean? Well, pulling up EVERY image (including things like icons) on my computer and having to delete/reorganize 17,000 pictures (most are icons and duplicates or triplicates of existing pictures and, since I don't want to delete things like aquariums, family, friends, animals, etc, that means thumbing through all of them, one at a time). It also means taking care of all of my 30+ GBs of music. And it meant having to reformat the drive. So I took it home and plugged it into the ever-faithful iBook (since it's the original unit I used it with) and managed, after several hours, to make it functional again. And while I was there (hadn't turned it on since September lol), I pulled iTunes off its drive to bring to work. And I discovered a plethora of music I'd forgotten about. Including a ton of things my folks more than influenced me with :)
So, here's the playlist I've been rocking the last 48 hours:
Der Kommissar - After the Fire
Take On Me - Aha
Walk like an Egyptian - The Bangles
Old Time Rock and Roll, Turn the Page - Bob Seger
Make it with you, It Don't Matter to Me, Baby I'm-A Want You - Bread
Wicked Games - Chris Isaak
That's my Job - Conway Twitty
Sunglasses at Night - Corey Hart
Bad Moon Rising - Credence Clearwater Revival
Do You Really Want to Hurt Me, Karma Chameleon - Culture Club
True Colors, I Drove All Night, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Time After Time, She Bop - Cyndi Lauper
Money for Nothing - Dire Straits
She Blinded Me with Science - Thomas Dolby
Dirty Laundry, Johnny Can't Read - Don Henley
Hotel California - Eagles
Here comes the Rain Again, Sweet Dreams, Talk to Me Like Lovers Do, Would I lie to You - Eurythmics
Tuff Enuff - The Fabulous Thunderbirds
She Drives Me Crazy - Fine Young Cannibals
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot
I want a New Drug - Huey Lewis and the News
Don't You Want Me Baby - Human League
We Built This City on Rock and Roll - Jefferson Starship
With a Little Help From my Friends - Joe Cocker
Life's Been Good - Joe Walsh
Missing You - John Waite
Faithfully, Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin', Open Arms, Don't Stop Believing - Journey
Dust in the Wind - Kansas
Silent Running - Mike and the Mechanics
Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel
Lunatic Fringe - Red Rider
Never Gonna Give you Up - Rick Astley
Didn't Mean to Turn you On, Addicted to Love - Robert Palmer
Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell
Rock you like a Hurricane - Scorpions
Don't You Forget About Me - Simple Minds
Tainted Love - Soft Cell
The Joker - Steve Miller Band
Goodbye Stranger, The Logical Song, Bloody Well Right - Supertramp
One is the Loneliest Number, Joy to the World - Three Dog Night
Carry On My Wayward Son - Wynners
I get music from a lot of places - sometimes the radio, sometimes TV (even commercials), friends, movies and so on... but if it weren't such a huge part of my upbringing I don't think I'd love it as much as I do. I even have a 1.5GB playlist of 90's Christian lol. So when I say I have an eclectic taste in music I am sooooo not bullshitting - my iTunes hops from stand up and musicals, to 4Him, Alanis, Jay Z, Elvis, Patsy Cline, Usher, Tim McGraw, Newsboys, Nickle Creek, Regina Spektor, Of Montreal, Imogen Heap, Michael Buble', John Mayer, Eminem and everyone in between. Including Journey and Human League...
Thanks mom and dad :)
