<b>VNV Nation - Empires</b> - specifically, "Kingdom". Man, I dig this song. They're pretty good live though - that is, they perform well, even though their stuff is mostly prerecorded. But they seemed to work the crowd pretty well. Definitely good stuff.

Wesley Willis--Feel the Power: Chicago schizophrenic street artist. Puts out 3 or 4 records a year. Usually, each of his CDs has 24 songs or so, each song about 3 minutes each, and all the songs are damn near the same (beats, tempo, etc.). He usually "sings" about his bus rides on CTA and Pace, friends of his, and concerts he attends. He was actually signed to American Recordings, and put out 2 records through them in 1996--Feel the Power and Fabian Road Warrior. Also has a band called the Fiasco that does indie-punk rock. Generally hangs out in Chicago's Wicker Park area--my ex-fiance actually saw him on the street one day...and didn't ask for his autograph...damn her!

i also agree with you on the comment about The Crow soundtrack.
i especially love Nine Inch Nails - Dead Souls...yay. that's actually one of my favorite songs. it just has a slew of great artists though. |

*raises hand* While I don't care much for ID3 tags, I absolutely have to have every file named correctly and in the same order (track number - artist - song title.mp3). All 1700+ MP3s currently on my hard drive are named that way, as are most of the ones I have backed up on a giant stack of CD-Rs. What kind of system do you guys use? |

i'm anal about it. very. and i got this from dave. my playlist has to be absolutely perfect in its presentation - that is, the mp3s have to be listed as so:
Artist - Song Title and the mp3s have to be named like so: Artist-Song_Title.mp3 |

Currently, I have two different systems - one that I used to use, and the one that I'm migrating to.
I used to have a system where every mp3 was named like so: Artist_With_Underscores_If_More_Than_One_word-Song_Title.mp3 That worked pretty well. I didn't care about ID3, so long as my mp3s were named like that. Now, I'm migrating to /dave/mp3/Artist/Album Name/Song Name.mp3 Mainly because that's the way iTunes rips mp3s, and iTunes is the best mp3 player -ever-. Eventually, I want to make iTunes rip mp3s like this /dave/mp3/Artist/Album Name/Artist - Song Name.mpg 'cause honestly, that's how I'd prefer it. I'm also being super anal about how they're cataloged, both in iTunes' internal DB, as well as the ID3 tags. Luckily, iTunes makes this awfully easy, and then I can play them from all of my computers via a nice SMB share. Once I get the file server built, they'll all be on there, and all the computers in the house will automount their various shares. House-wide, we probably have about 6,000 unique MP3's. Mine have always been the most impeccable. Unfortunately, I need to go through them all and re-work them. Oh well. Anyway. That's how I do it now. |

Mother Love Bone--Mother Love Bone: Such a waste for Andrew Wood to die. Although, without his passing, Pearl Jam may not have come into existance.

I tend to not listen to my more meloncholy albums much any more. For the first time in more than a year I was able to pluck up the courage to play some Nick Drake. I had to think about it. Quote:

Sadly, I've bought everything The Cure has done after "Wish", (except for the new "Greatest Hits" compilation) and the only thing I listen to somewhat regularly is the "Paris" live record. There's some great versions of some old "Pornography"-era tracks on there ("Figurehead", "One Hundred Years", etc). As for New Order, sure they disappeared after "Republic", but isn't that better than putting out two or three crap albums like The Cure did? And at least we got some decent stuff from Electronic (specifically "Twisted Tenderness") and the first Monaco album isn't that bad. Speaking of Electronic, this is just a shot in the dark, but does anyone know what happened to the Johnny Marr & The Healers album that was supposed to come out last year or something? I heard the opened for Oasis a long time ago and there was an album in the works, but then nothing. |

![]() Now, on a related note, I was going to apologise to the masses. I was going to say I'm sorry I was so elitist back there, because really, it's about what you like. My music isn't better than yours. It's just different. But then I got subjected to Wheatus for the four billionth time by some nimrod at the lights, so they can just forget it. |
