i usually remove stuff in the order it came in, not counting stuff i really like, but i force myself to keep the "really like" stuff to a minimum, otherwise what would i fit on my karma??

i'm hoping my reduced music allowance will take care of this karma glut. i'd like to always be able to keep a year's-worth, especially for year-end playlists.

and i have no dylan.

Good because I want to be sure of myself when I call you a cock-hole next time.

Oh, get a room. You're making me nauseus.

You wish.

Just picture him with black jeans, white button-up, black backpack, and a bicycle.

and a little nametag.

Dat funny. There is a good scene about this in Hustle and Flow, which, btw, is a good movie.

Damn testy bunch in here on a Monday...........

Sen.- I amen the comment about Kinks and Devendra. Not much loss on the rest.

O, and I still wish Sam Beam would take breathing lessons.

the Funny thing is, I was pretty conservative on what I got rid of...There is much more stuff on here that no one should own, and that I never listen to, that I just couldn't jettison. I have 35 gigs, and maybe 3 of it is stuff I really listen to a lot, but I like the IDEA of having every Stones/Cash/Dylan album at my fingertips at all times.

I guess its like Yail says, I don't really like music, I like to collect it.

<-----Can't get rid of ANYTHING



I just know there will be a time when I want to hear "Monkey business" off of Skid Row's Slave to the Grind.

I KNOW IT.

Shit I'd play that at Bingo tonight if I had it.

Yeah, I mean, there is a time and a place for this, at least. I'd play Youth Gone Wild LOUD right now...but i don't know if I would ever find the proper time to play Devandra or Animal Collective or any of that shite, so I jettisoned it.

Good thing it's not called Ebb & Flow, or we'd have to start a separate thread to explain the title.

This deletion breaks my heart. I couldn't love S&E any more.

so you took it off your i-pod......

so does that mean you do not have this music on a hard drive or dvd-r backup somewhere?

i delete shite off of my ipod all the time, but i have it somewhere in case i ever want to hear it again.....

Good on ya for keeping the Faces box.

BTW - I condensed that box set into a one-disc set of personal faves and was listening to it on a long car trip this weekend, and goddamn if it didn't surprise me all over again how good it is. Even the live version of "Maggie May" (which is one of the most overplayed songs ever) is a revelation just 'cuz of Ron Wood's guitar work and Ronnie Lane's bass. I swear, if Rod Stewart would've had the good taste to choke to death on his own vomit back in '75 that band would be remembered as one of the all-time greats.

I usually delete stuff from my iPod when I decide that it doesn't suit work or driving or working out well enough . . . trad jazz, trad blues, ambient . . . that stuff goes, while DFA1979 stays. Not because I love it any more, but rather because it suits my morning bus ride, or a bike ride, better. My home hard drive and my work hard drive have more slow stuff than my iPod.

Anybody else make this distinction?

Awesome!

yup....absolutely

except my boss knows dick about the internet and i work for small company.....so i can do what the hell i want which = i drag my external h/d to work and d/l shit to my computer ..... i have 100 gb left......

and since my work product is saved to the server i have alot of room to 'grow'

Oh, I did not make this distinction clear. I ERASED these albums. I will never hear them again if at all possible, because listening to them is not enjoyable to me, because, well, they SUCK.

I could reacquire them from the folks who sent them to me if I really felt like it was important to hear "Who Could Win a Rabbit?" by Animal Collective or "I wish I was a dead transvestite" by Morrisey or "We are only considered good cos that one dude hung himself and weird kids in America will always revere the British" by Joy Division..I just don't see a day when that wil happen.

That's probably my favorite song by them.

Normally this type of comment applied to albums I really like (eg Brian Eno, Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures", and late 60's/early 70's Kinks) would annoy me. Somehow coming from Gar though, I'm able to say to myself that's just gar being gar. Doesn't surprise me in the least though that Gar wouldn't like these. I think it may be biologically impossible to both love 80's and 90's Stones and appreciate these too (unless you're one of those ninnies that just loves everything).

I'd add that I think the Senator probably has to me the most predictable taste of anyone on this board. And I don't mean that in a bad way at all.

I think if people would recommend stuff to him more based on this sounds like something Gar would like and not this is something I like, we all wouldn't have to hear him taking a big dump on great rekidds so often.
