My Digital Music Collection
Posts
I typically keep three macs on my LAN . My workstation, my laptop, and my previous workstation re-purposed as a file server. My file server died, recently. Unfortunately it was where I kept my music library and, because of various gaffes, I was only able to recover about a third of my music. Now, as I'm cataloguing what was lost, I'm finding that I left my favorite 40 CDs in my sports car when I sold it a few years ago and can't re-rip them. I still have the jewel-cases for those albums, but the actual disks were in a CD wallet. All three Soul Coughing albums, The The's "Dusk" and "Mind Bomb," Beastie Boys' "Hello Nasty," Oasis' "Morning Glory," - all gone. Hell, I even lost my "Tubular Bells" (the first one). What a pain this is going to be to fix.
I discovered the Flaming Lips, today, by watching a freakin' Dell commercial... Of course I'd heard of them, before, and I even remember hearing "She Don't Use Jelly" and sort of liking it at some point in the past, but when I heard this song on the commercial it immediately grabbed me and I knew I had to find out just exactly what the hell it was.
The sad part is, aside from "wand," and "jelly," "Turn It On" was the only other song that I could find by them that was even remotely engaging - and I don't dig "jelly" or "turn it on" all that much. "Wand," however, seems to keep getting better the more I play it. I saw some concert footage on YouTube and it looks like the lips put on a fantastic show.

I think Jelly is the only song I've ever really liked by them, ha. I do think it's funny or weird that a band can do a song you just love but you don't like anything else they do. I don't understand how it's even possible, but it happens to me all the time.
I just watched Thumbsucker - it's a fantastic movie and has an amazing score from Polyphonic Spree and Elliott Smith. I liked the soundtrack so much I bought the whole album from iTunes. I love a truly cinematic movie, and a good score is an absolute requirement. The movies are completely different in tone and content, but this movie felt a lot like Wes Anderson's Rushmore in it's sheer power.

This is a most incredible movie, just loved it. All the performances were amazing & it just so captured what a dysfunctional family is really like. A very quirky movie, yet extremely moving & emotional. Good pick & the music's great too!
