Peter Gabriel


I ripped all my Peter Gabriel CDs yesterday morning. I found I'm missing one, a soundtrack PG did a few years back. It's been added to my Amazon wish list.

Dido


Dido, my iPod, came in very handy on the train trips. I listened to the three Lord of the Rings soundtracks each way.

More Ripping


I ripped some more today: Led Zeppelin, Angelo Badalamenti, Mark Snow. I'm now at 206 "albums" (which includes singles, and single songs on discrete discs), this comes to 2,308 songs, which is 6.7 days of music. Tomorrow night: Peter Gabriel and Heart, I think.

Ripping


I ripped all of my Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance albums. I think I'm going to rip quite a few more, I've got lots of space left on my hard disk, so why not? I'm going to try to rip all albums of any significance.

Tales of a Librarian


I bought a copy of Tales of a Librarian by Tori Amos. It's her greatest hits album, with 2 new songs, and all the older songs reworked. I purchased it from the iTunes Music Store because there were two exclusive tracks. I like it, and some of the songs seem a fair bit different in arrangement from the originals.

Lovecraftian music


I picked up two CDs at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival, A Scary Solstice and Shoggoth on the Roof, both from the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. I've listened to the first one, which contains 25 Lovecraftian versions of Christmas carols and it's hilarious. I haven't listened to SotR yet, but you can guess what it's based on. High recommended.

Dido Redux


I'm listening to Life for Rent right now via iTunes. It turns out that this is one of those discs with the special security codes on it which makes it unplayable on Macs. I don't see any reason to buy crippled discs, so I bought the album (minus one song) on iTunes for $9.90. I'd normally prefer to own it on CD, but I don't want to support crippling discs. The first song on the disc is great.

Dido


Dido finally has a new album out, Life for Rent. I'm listening to the 30 second snippets of each song on the iTunes Music Store and it sounds promising. I need to hit a music store soon to pick up a copy of the album.
