3) Deborah Cox- Absolutely Not (Vice Admiral Mikey T Mix)
4) Nelly Furtado- Promiscuous
5) Aaliyah- Try Again
6) Hair- The Flesh Failures
7) Amber- Voodoo (Mike Cruz Vox Mix)

9) Shirley Bassey- Goldfinger
10) Garbage- The World is Not Enough

I have an old cassette Walkman, but no MP3 player.

Radio. Maybe a CD if I can't find a good station (and if I can find a CD!). Don't need or want an MP3 player.

I have my trusty AM radio, the 8-track stopped working.....

The only thing resembling an Mp3 player I have is a Sony discman that plays Mp3 Cd's I fit my whole library on about 5 Cd's ranging from techno, Old rock, new rock, funny songs, Emo, rap, classical, etc. Right now the CD player I have in my truck only plays normal CD's but I've been getting really addicted to Evanescence lately. Amy Lee's voice is.. is.. I guess Haunting would be the best way to describe it. It just sends a shiver down my spine when I listen to Haunted or My Immortal.

At least you've got 2 good songs on there, Mikey.

I just reset all my play counts the other day, so what I have as 10 are:


  • "CHASE ME!", CHASE
  • "Simple And Clean", Utada Hikaru
  • "Going For A Ride", David Newman
  • "You Are What You Love", Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins
  • "Too Close For Comfort", Sammy Davis, Jr.
  • "2001 Spliff Odyssey", Thievery Corporation
  • "Neighborhood #2 (Laika)", The Arcade Fire
  • "I Wish I Was The Moon", Neko Case
  • "10 Dollar", M.I.A.
  • "Papa Don't Take No Mess", James Brown

    Da_bang....your ENTIRE library fits on 5 MP3 CDs? It took 5 data DVDs to back up just what I don't have on CD a few months ago. It'd probably be 6 or 7 by now.
     
    Posted by Da_bang80 (Member # 528) on :
     
    Meh, I only got a couple thousand songs. I don't do too much music pirating now-a-days. Since I'm away from my personal rig. I actually deleted about half of my library before I backed up my songs since I didn't really care for half the crap I downloaded.

    I forget that not everyone is the music whore I & many of my friends are.
     
    Posted by Chris (Member # 71) on :
     
    My music horde took 15 data DVDs to backup. And I've since downloaded more. My MP3 player is actually my phone, and I don't listen to it enough to have a top 10 feature or anything. The current CD in the car is a Ministry of Sound compilation of some sort, I forget which one...

    My iPod is too olde to display the songs in most-frequently played format, but I will cheat and use iTunes (also bear in mind that at some point swapping machines around, some of my playcounts were negative or 32767 or some jibberish which seems to have evaporated after going to v.7):

    01. The Denial Twist - The White Stripes
    02. Man Next Door - Massive Attack
    03. Love Affair With Agony - Dominic Castillo and The Rock Savants
    04. Is She Weird - The Pixies
    05. Frontin' On Debra (DJ Reset Mash-up) - Beck
    06. Into My Arms - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
    07. Neighborhood #2 (Laika) - The Arcade Fire (yes, seriously, 7th too)
    08. That's Not Really Funny - The Eels
    09. Suha - Xiu Xiu
    10. The Start Of Something - Voxtrot

    Boy howdy. There should be be more "music naughtiness" amongst the members of this forum, that's fer rootin'-tootin sure.

    'Tah'na was doing so well & then he had to mention Creed. Most of my Coldplay songs are trip-hop remixes...although the cover of "Clocks" that Twelve Girls Band did was faboo.
     
    Posted by Mikey T (Member # 144) on :
     
    Shik, which two songs are you talking about?

    And music naughtyness? Well I do also have an iPod video but that's just filled with Star Trek, Desperate Housewives, Battlestar Galactica, and gay movies (NOT PORN).
     
    Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
     
    The last 2.

    No, "music naughtiness" is my way of implying actions of which shall not be named or taken on this board lest one incite the wrath of The Great Bearded One.

    Eh... I ususally like James Bond themes except for things that aren't grand like Die Another Day, Casino Royale, and View to A Kill. I would have put Goldeneye there but I limited myself to 10 songs.
     
    Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
     
    Die Another Day is the only one I absolutely abhor. Out of ALL of them.

    I was skeptical about Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" for Casino Royale but I found it & gave it a listen & it's pretty good. Also, if you can find "Surrender" by k.d. lang (or ask for it), it was used for the end credits of Tomorrow Never Dies. As much as I love the Sheryl Crow song, k.d.'s would've be a FAR better theme.

    I don't even know who did "Die Another Day", it underwhelmed me so.

    Madonna.

    BTW, Mp3s suck and I almost exclusively listen to lossless, archived music on CD.

    For the past week I've been spinning practically nothing but Regina Spektor, whom I might label "the new Bob Dylan," were I prone to such hyperbole. Been listening to some Leonard Cohen, also, and Dylan himself, naturally.

    Woot! I love that girl.

    I also have most of my music on CD. Maybe when audio-compression encoding is up to my standards, I'll abandon them, but not yet.

    Mim, you're probably one of those assholes that insists on FLAC on download sites... Fucking pisses me off. Unless your ears are superhuman, I don't know how you can tell the difference between FLAC and, say, 320 kbps MP3.

    Chris, he's MiM after all...

    Absolutely I am. And I can tell the difference as clearly as night and day. Maybe not at every point in every song, but any time there's supposed to be shimmer in the high end, or echo, or just freaking silence there is a grating bed of noisy artifacts. EVERY TIME, and that's what pisses me off. That and the fact that so many people apparently just don't listen closely enough to hear it.

    I notice. For casual listening/background noise, I like the simplicity of my mp3 library, but for serious listening, I always go to my CDs.

    I guess I'm just not musicphile-y enough to pick up on such subtle things.

    The word is "anal."

    I wish I could find more than just 2 song off of regina's first album, 11.11.
     
    Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
     
    Well now, let's see what's what. . .

    1. Bjork - All Is Full Of Love
    2. Plastic Bertrand - Ca Plane Pour Moi
    3. Embrace - Gravity
    4. The Rasmus - In The Shadows
    5. a-Ha - The Sun Always Shines on TV
    6. Alphaville - A Victory of Love
    7. Coldplay - Clocks (Royksopp remix)
    8. Bent - Swollen
    9. Peaches - Fuck the Pain Away
    10. Electric Light Orchestra - Mr. Blue Sky

    Eclectic, Moi?
     
    Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
     
    Peaches? You jest.
     
    Posted by Mikey T (Member # 144) on :
     
    Peaches? Let me Wikipedia that...

    Peaches, next to ELO? Oh, my brain.
     
    Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

    10) Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)

    7) U2 - Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
    6) Fence of Defense - Sarah

    1) Coldplay - Yellow

    Well, I just finished listening to the Eurovision 2006 songs. Croatia has a cool song...
     
    Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
     
    NOTHING beats "Hard Rock Hallelujah." Any song that uses the phrases "Day of Rockening" & "The Arockalypse" is a big win in my book. The rest of the album is fantastic, too.
     
    Posted by Chris (Member # 71) on :
     
    Which, Eurovision or Lordi? Lordi is teh k00l, though.
     
    Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
     
    Um, Lordi WON Eurovision 2006 with that song.
     
    Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
     
    I think he was asking which album was "fantastic" : the Lordi one, or the Eurovision one.
     
    Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
     
    Aha. The Lordi one.
     
    Posted by Chris (Member # 71) on :
     
    I think I actually have The Arockalypse...
     
    Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
     
    I believe you do, as I gave it to you.
