Jimi would have been 70 a couple of days ago ... hard to believe.

by JGK Thu 29 Nov 2012, 12:59

Aye. He died before I was born (a bit like the Beatles had broken up before I was born) yet he still seems so familiar and fresh.

Great song that one too.

So, I've gone all modern and shiz and bought an iPod...

Mildly disturbed to count up and realise, upon putting all my CDs into iTunes, that I've spent bloody thousands of pounds on music over the years. It all adds up. On the sly.

Sneaky f*ckers, music people. They saw me coming.

Tell me about it ...

10565 items, 29.1 days playing time, 79.3 GB.

Not counting 400+ vinyl LPs, loads of singles, and a stack of cassettes ... most of the cassettes probably don't play any more.

Holy shit - I'm not even up to half that amount, yet think I've overindulged a tad...

It's a weakness.

But I don't have any LPs or tapes...

Zim: Impressive. You've probably been on your iTunes a little longer! I started converting all my CDs and making a few purchases in March last year.

Fittingly, perhaps, the first one I entered on 6 March last year was 'Things Gonna Change' by John Lee Hooker. Seemed random at the time ...

Have had to slow down the purchases (mostly buying stuff on iTunes that I only had on tape) over the last 6 months. Not enough cash to do it all!

Only had an iPod for a few years tho I did have other MP3 players (like an old clunky iRiver)...

Haven't actually ever bought any music off iTunes...all my songs are either MP3s ripped from my own CDs or (ahem) ones I've 'found' for 'free' on the net...

Local bands I normally buy the CD, internationals I normally 'find' a copy...

(ahem)

glad you support the locals anyway

167 gb. not even enough for the freakin new ipod classic

they need to come out with a 1 tb version

by Brass Monkey Tue 04 Dec 2012, 20:15

I've got, like 1,200ish songs... I got to that point, but then realised I wasn't an anal enough f*cktard to spend so long whacking shit onto a portable device.

by lardbucket Tue 04 Dec 2012, 20:24

Who said anything about a portable device?

Very Happy

I've got a few songs on my iPhone, but only a fraction of the total above. Basically guitar stuff.

by Brass Monkey Tue 04 Dec 2012, 21:03

Weeelllll, I was only shitting on my hand and throwing it in youse threes direction. It's what us monkeys do. I'm sure it doesn't mean owt Wink

Not sure the feral chipolatas are a match for the original Meters though ....

Astonishing musicianship from the great Larry Adler.

by PeterCS Sat 15 Dec 2012, 01:07

That fellow really used to confuse people's brains.

by lardbucket Sat 15 Dec 2012, 01:08

But he was happy. As happy as ...

But he really used to confuse other people's brains, in his leisure suit and all.

Beautiful cover of Bowie's Modern Love. Haven't seen the video.

I'm sticking this one in - I don't do tunes in the music thread, as a rule, especially not pop-style wank. But I like it. Something different from the world of genericism.
