She Drove Herself To Madness With The Silver Spoon

I started my mission to listen to every single one of the 7000+ songs in my iTunes library last February... still working on it. I'm into the E's now. Since I just made it through my long collection of Eagles music, here's one of my favorites in the form of a live performance with some amusing banter for your enjoyment:

Your day breaks, your mind aches


I've been making a little headway on my iTunes domination. So far, I've made it through the "A"s and am into the "B"s, which is by far my most extensive letter due to the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Bob Marley...


I've gotten through the B-52s, the Band, Band of Horses, the Beach Boys, and 14 out of my 21 Beatles albums. On another note, B*Witched and Backstreet Boys have set my roommates and I into a whirlwind 90s revival/nostalgia trip.

Crazy little woman in a one man show



I have begun a venture of the iTunes variety; turns out it is a great undertaking indeed:
I will not only be listening to each and every one of the currently 6,603 songs on my iTunes in alphabetical order (which would take 16.5 days as is if I listened non-stop), but I will also be verifying that their title/artist/album artwork information is correct, adding the years they were recorded, and deleting songs that shouldn't be there (ie bad iTunes freebees).

So far, I am almost done with the "A" section. I started three days ago. Highlights included the Aggrolites, America, Andrew Bird, and the Aquabats. Here is what I've discovered:
1. Andrew Bird is kind of weird, and hard to classify genre-wise on my iTunes (I think I put Alternative? or Adult Contemporary?)
2. Vs. The Floating Eye Of Death is my least favorite Aquabats album
3. I like America a lot more than I remembered
4. I don't like it when the Aggrolites use too much organ in their instrumental stuff... too calypso-y
5. I LOVE the Arcade Fire a lot more than I thought I did
6. Architecture in Helsinki is kind of sucky

And that is all for now :)
