If I Get Old Music Reviews

I purchased my iPod earlier this year as my birthday present and it's been with me almost all the time since. I have found that I listen to far more spoken word than I expected, but I do still try to listen to as much of my music as I can. With over 8000 songs (not quite my whole collection), it's hard to choose what to listen to sometimes.

I spent a lot of time ripping my music to hard drive so that I can import it into iTunes and didn't plan on purchasing anything through the store there since I already had plenty. What I had not counted on was not being able to access much of the free content without having an account. Being the paranoid person I am, I did not want to give credit/debit info over to anyone and I chose to purchase an iTunes gift card. This left me with money that had to be spent so the first thing that I purchased was "Just A Friend" by Biz Markie. It's one of my all time favorite songs. I can't really say what it is that I love so much, but it never fails to bring a smile to my face.

I'm fairly sure that two of my three readers are familiar with Flight of the Conchords, but I wanted to put this up anyway. This is a group that I found about a year ago and have thoroughly enjoyed. There is a little bit of potty humor and an occasional profanity so be warned. They have a few albums out and have had a full season of television shows on HBO. There seems to be a second season in the works and if it's as good as the first I'm sure that we'll watch it too.

The first two videos are live performances and the final is a clip from the television show.

I have finally gotten around to adding information to this page. I have sigend up with lastfm.com and synced my ipod to it so it should keep pretty good statistics on my listening habits. I have also added a player to the left hand side that should allow you to listen to songs from my library.

I hope to start reviewing music here soon. I'm not sure if I will take singular songs or full albums. Maybe an amalgam of both.

I hope that you enjoy this part of my blog and I welcome your comments, suggestions and music recommendations.

p.s. If any of you know anything about web design and can help me get the two quilts at the top side by side rather than on top of each other I would greatly appreciate it.
