365 Days of Music - Day 001
I'm on the laptop, so this is going to take a while LOL. I don't understand how anyone uses a touchpad. Also WhyTF is there no End key on this thing? Why did I buy this, again??
Jan 01 was a technical fail, so Jan 02 will have to do. Also, there are clearly still some kinks I need to work out. Anywhoo...
0001
George Strait - [hashtag] 7 (I don't want LJ creating a new tag)
Songs I already know: 01 of 10
Long story short: It's George. Even if it was terrible, it'd be perfect. And George is never terrible.
Listen again: YES
0002
Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time
Songs I already know: 16 of 16 (two were remixes of the same song)
Long story short: Britney introducing some random 'preview' of three Backstreet Boys' songs at the end of one of the tracks was weirdly random. Includes the two bonus tracks from the Japan(?) release. I just know they weren't on my cassette.. but I was also addicted to downloading ALL THE VERSIONS of every song, off Napster, back in the day.
Listen again: IT'S BRITNEY, BITCH. Of course I will.
0003
Cobra Starship - Viva La Cobra
Songs I already know: 0 of 11
Long story short: it's peppy
Listen again: probably
0004
Bill Withers - +Justments
Songs I already know: 0 of 10
Long story short: Older recording, so it probably needs more volume. Generally, I'd give it a MEH. Not because it's bad, just because it wasn't exactly memorable.
Listen again: Yes, but not at work
0005
Maroon 5 - 1/22/03 Acoustic
Songs I already know: 5 of 7
Long story short: I actually like these versions over the regular. But, generally, I'm a bit Maroon 5'd out
Listen again: maybe
0006
Bee Gees - 2 Years On
Songs I already know: 0 of 12
Long story short: direct from my notes: "not sure if 1st track is supposed to sound that bad or not. Nope it's just a bad copy. listened on YT instead. Bless them but it's just this side of doctor's office or elevator"
Listen again: If I can find a better copy of the first track, yes, but not at work, for volume
0007
98 Degrees - 2.0
Songs I already know: 2 of 13
Long story short: as expected. 2 bonus tracks were just reworked earlier tracks
Listen again: probably
0008
2ge+her - 2ge+her Again
Songs I already know: 13 of 13
Long story short: Where is Whoa!'s album already, MTV??! o.O
Listen again: umm.. it's 2gether. Of course I will.
0009
Brad Paisley - 5th Gear
Songs I already know: 4 of 18 (full disclosure: two of the tracks are untitled, so I don't know yet, because I got to the end of the work day and was only on track 10)
Long story short: Steve would hate the guitar solos, but I love them. Also, the CD has Online and Ticks, which are two of my favorite songs, any time.
Listen again: Absolutely!
I was going to finish listening to the last one, but the downstairs neighbor has their radio on and it's annoying, so I'm just going to try and drown him out with a YouTube tutorial or two. Will resume album 09, tomorrow, and crack through some more.
Finally tally, once all was said and done, had me at eight albums a day. So, discounting the loss of one day - I'm right on track. Will probably get a few days ahead, on the weekends, ahead of potential lost days.
I'm going by the alphabetical listing via Windows Media Player because
a) I don't have iTunes, at work
b) it's actually sorting by Album Title, versus iTunes, which is sorting Album Title by Artist (which means all of Aaron Carter's CDs are clumped together, etc)
---I'll post a photo when I'm at work. I don't have the hosting login info on the laptop
