Took the day off today. Spent most of it so far downloading stuff for my iPod. I was surprised by the variety available from iTunes, actually. Last time I looked at it about a year ago, they didn't have any of the stuff *I* was looking for at the time. Today, I only had one failure to locate.
Anyhoo, I found a bunch of stuff I wasn't expecting.
New bands I hadn't heard of before:
The Newlydeads. Got their title CD, "The Newlydeads."
Rosetta Stone. Got two of their CD's, "The Tyrrany of Inaction, Revised Edition 1.1," and, "Unerotica." Right up my alley!
Switched. I got their CD called, "Ghosts in the Machine." Very well done music.
Those three bands are right up my alley.
The Pussycat Dolls. White chick band that sounds very black chick. Three of their songs were reasonably easy to listen to, even though I'm not much into pop.
Also got The Lords of Acids' CD, "Greatest T*ts." Funny shid there!
Some collections I found:
"A Night at the Booty Bar." Very funny. Along the lines of Lords of Acid as above.
A couple of NiN CD's I didn't have including a couple of NiN and Marilyn Manson tribute CD's. Grabbed a few movie soundtracks, especially was hunting for Danny Elfman music. Saw a CD of his I hadn't heard of called, "Serenada Schizophrena," which is orchestral in nature and outstanding music to say the least. Nothing but the best for me!
Grabbed the John Williams CD Soundtrack from Episode IV of Star Wars and a couple of Ennio Morricone Collections. Also, a George Gershwin CD of his piano performances. What a genius he was.
Hit a couple of Chingon Songs. One was, "Malagena Salerosa," as we heard in, "Kill Bill 2." Played the sample tracks on a couple of other songs of theirs and grabbed them too.
Downloaded a few other miscellaneous individual songs by Eminem, Berlin, Limp Bizkit, Maroon 5 (very good), Rob Zombie and Vnv Nation (also very good).
All total, 374 songs. Most were albums so no, I didn't pay 99 cents each for 374 songs!
I noticed I love covered songs. Berlin has a great cover of Manson's, "Dope Show." All of the covers of NiN songs are really well done as are the Manson cover tunes.
Noticed some stuff about iTunes. Very easy to leapfrog from one CD to another if you see a cover collection. Easy to find new music by bands you've never heard of. Easy to spend a crapload of money if you don't restrain yourself! I only did all this because I had a leftover gift Visa card from my last job. But without leaving your own office, you can break your dayum bank just on iTunes. I can see how it could be a major addiction, too!
Had a good time with this. Probably won't happen again any time soon!
