It works like this: You reply to this post and I give you a letter of the alphabet. Then you drudge up 10 songs that start with said letter and put them in your journal (with these or similar instructions).

4. Jump - Kylie Minogue

Spent 40 quid on CDs in Virgin today. This involved me buying 20 quid's worth with my credit card, followed by paying cash for another 20 quid's worth off a bloke in the store. The story goes that he had some vouchers but didn't want anything. I was a bit wary at first, wondering what sort of scam was going on, possibly fake vouchers. In the end he ( Read more... )

I've done this before. But that was then, and this is now, so here goes. I'm too tired to attempt to ascribe anything to the answers this gave, so feel free to comment with your own interpretations.

I transferred some music from the player to the hard disk (via my PC as I only had the one cable with me) and am now listening away. Specifically to some groovy pop stuff that I acquired when in Canada last, based on the one track that was getting a lot of ( Read more... )

I sorted all my MP3 into one directory before going on holiday. There were two reasons why they weren't already in one directory. Firstly, I'd been retagging and renaming stuff using MusicBrainz and putting the retagged stuff in a separate directory so I knew which I'd done. Secondly I'd started using iTunes and had it pointing at a third directory ( Read more... )
