I recently bought two Rush albums and two Kansas albums. I had recently heard Tom Sawyer on the radio and was thinking it would be nice to hear more from them. Also a friend I knew back in college was a fan (well, ok, I more remember her as a Floyd fan, but she liked Rush too). Thus Moving Pictures. But while I was looking it up, I saw the ( Read more... )

Did my usual weekend-catch-up-videos and thought I pass on this entry.

And rather than just being a parasite, I dug up Party Ben's download site. HellaDare is kinda of nice and the Amy Winehouse/4 Tops.

Finally had a free evening to view the video in this post (no streaming videos at work). Also the one from viralplaza in the comments. Since my lady enjoyed those, I searched around youtube and found a live version of Daft Punk performing the song. Then showed her the Kayne West Stronger video to show why the previous ones were current.

Do not point iTunes at mp3s that do not have any of the track information filled in. Tried that. iTunes will set them up, but has no way to display them. No really good way to fix it afterward.

And, now, to join evil_1_2 in complaining about iTunes. I did find the file where it stores information about all the tracks. It is conveniently located up ( Read more... )

Ok, so a lot of the music videos that are on are pretty ho-hum, though I do like to watch them just to see what people are doing. Occasionally, you do get something cool. The following video has some pretty neat choreography.

Ok, picked up the 60G iPod yesterday. Finished uploading 4700 some mp3s to it last night. Ready to rock. Um, or swing...or whatever you call do to classical ( Read more... )

Since iPods have finally got up to a size where I can put my whole music collection on them, I had decided to go pick up the 30G ones. Would be able to have all my music and still have room for podcasts. Nice for the upcoming increase commute. Went online to confirm prices. Noted that there is also a 60G for only $100 more. Rechecked the size ( Read more... )

I recently picked several of their CDs, most of which I just had on tape. (Oh, proverbialduck, I got revenge!). I've been listening to Be Yourself Tonight and rediscovering what a great album that is. This is the remastered version with notes. Never really knew that Stevie Wonder plays harmonica on a a song and Aretha and Elvis Costello do background vocals ( Read more... )

So, I'm watching the Mary J. Blige/U2 video. It cuts to a scene showing a staircase. You see shadows of a couple of people moving silently up the stairs. Am I the only one to think, NINJAS!? Of course, the next time they cut to that scene it's more, Short ninja with a ponytail?Oh well. Mary really has good voice. Maybe she ought to do more ( Read more... )

Great, my brain is trying to mix (or is that mash these days) Fort Minor's Where'd You Go? with the Dixie Chicks' Not Ready to Make Nice. Which, to give credit, does kind of work both musically and lyrically, but I just wish it would stop.
