Spring Cleaning in the iTunes + Bought stuff

I installed Mac OS 10.5 Leopard this past week. I had to back up all my music prior. I took a few screenshots. Almost 5915 songs worth:



And here's the Top 25:





And here's my iTunes completely stripped bare:




Whoa, nekkid iTunes!

After uploading Leopard (and I might redo...I went for update OS X, instead of archive and install...that seemed a better option. I'd have done Erase and Install, but I didn't want to lose all my 3rd party apps)....I've started putting the music back, slowly.

1. Interpol
2. Oasis
3. Stellastarr

That was the initial order, I believe. I put some Radiohead in there, as well as Band of Horses, a band that I strongly recommend. I think I only have a gig and a half of stuff in there. I think this way I'll LISTEN to the music I have that I don't really listen to.

I'm also going to try to listen to the music "organically" not minding what gets played more than the other. In the past, "C'mere" by Interpol has been my most played. It might not be anymore, but I'm not going to purposely put it before others. Although, ironically, it was experiencing a bit of a resurgence. Right now Radiohead's Exit Music (for a film) is the top played, followed by The Strokes' "Reptilia," which is a HELL of a tune.

Have had a bit of a guilty pleasure moment. Good Charlotte. I went to iTunes and downloaded "Young and the Hopeless," and the songs "Little Things" and "Motivation Proclamation." I know I'm of the musical philosophy of "If I like it, I like it, so screw your opinion.." but sometimes I get slightly embarrassed, haha. Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte...yeah.

I bought other albums too:

1. Hvarf-Heim - Sigur Ros (I'm listening to it right now, and it's incredible)
2. some stuff by the Shout Out Louds
3. a song by Yeasayer
4. Free download by MGMT
5. Rabbit Fur Coat - Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins (I actually own this, but I'm legally buying it, haha. It's that good.)

On a whim, went on to Towers.com and ordered:

1. Heima - Sigur Ros (DVD)
2. Lord, Don't Slow Me Down - Oasis (DVD)
3. Loveless - My Bloody Valentine (CD)

Anyway, yeah. I suppose on a bit of a Sigur Ros kick. Check out Hoppipolla:



Here's a cover by We Are Scientists (a band I've been meaning to get into)

I do hope they play Hawaii again. I hear they've been here. Come again, pleaaaase!
