I love Winamp - such a neat little program. I also really like my 300GB external hardrive sitting on the floor. At the moment I have 70 hours of tunes loaded up. 1017 songs to be exact!
Here's a sample of what I'm listening to - courtesy of the 'random' function....
From Samarkand To Bukhara - Bonus Track (untitled) - traditional music from Uzbekistan
Gary Numan - Cars - classic 70s techno-rock
Propellerheads - Take California - beats for the masses
Sonic Youth - No Queen Blues - from a live show
Ry Cooder - Brothers - from the 'Paris, Texas' soundtrack: one of my favourite movies
Big Country - In A Big Country - rockin' Scots tear up the 80s
Aqueduct - Frantic (Roman Polanski Version) - found while random searching on the Net
Go Home Productions - Daft Britney - mashup of that girl with Daft Punk - surprisingly good
Jaya Semara - Balinese Gamelan Music
Hall & Oates - Kiss On My List - the best cheese is 80s cheese
The Sundays - Joy - live performance from the French radio program in 1992. I miss this band
Kenji Kawai - Ghost Hack - from the 'Ghost In The Shell' soundtrack. Awesome movie
Kenji Kawai - Access - from the same soundtrack - so much for 'random'!
Revenge - Kiss The Chrome - Peter Hook from New Order's solo project - great bass, silly songs
Dizzy Gillespie - Theme from the cool world - When I read Chandler, this is the music I dream of...
Mazzy Star - Flowers In December - beautiful music - wide open sounds
The Legendary Stardust Cowboy - Gemini Spacecraft - defies decription; a classic!
Sonic Youth - Junkie's Promise - from the classic 'Washing Machine' album - gritty grind
Zbigniew Preisner - Beginning of the Story - from the 'Aberdeen' soundtrack - delightful Celtic inspired piano piece
Sonic Animation - Didley Squat - late 90s Aussie dance anthem
Sonic Youth - Bull In The Heather - get the feeling I like Sonic Youth?!
Parker and Lily - The Low Lows - spacy mid-West hotel at dusk music
Grace Jones - Love Is The Drug - Miss Jones' take on the Roxy Music classic - frantic
Go Home Productions - The Whale and the Walrus - lavish mashup of the Beatles hit
Howard Jones - Things Can Only Get Better - HOWAAARD! This song rocks.
Tori Amos - Angie - Tori does her acoustic piano thing to the Rolling Stones ditty - like this one
Go Home Productions - Safesurfing for No One - another Beatles mashup - 'random' failing again
Barry Manilow - I Write The Songs - heh heh heh! "I've been alive forever..." Prophetic!
Corey Hart - Sunglasses At Night - never really understood why myself....
Severed Heads - Someone Who Doesn't Need Their Organs Anymore - Aussie electronica; from 'The Illustrated Family Doctor' movie
Cliff Richard - Devil Woman - "Honestly, you'd think 'Devil Woman' had never been written!"
Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy - Aaaah the smiles keep coming
Jane's Addiction - Stop - Air guitar!
James Taylor - Fire and Rain - another classic tune
Machine Go Boom - This Song's A Secret - any song with the refrain "I know you'll be dancing on my coffin lid" deserves a listen or three.
10CC - I'm Not In Love - going through the 70s catalogue a bit here!
Go Home Productions - Message Of Love - this time Grandmaster Flash and XTC get mixed up - this works really well!
Parker and Lily - Swim To Me - spooky space-race sounds in this one
Wilco - War On War - a great American band
The Smiths - Paint A Vulgar Picture - Morrissey croons, Marr strums; twas such a good music partnership...
Queen - Another One Bites The Dust - ooh yeah!
St. Etienne - Mr. Donut - Lounge infused pop. I actually went to Mr. Donuts today, so there you go!
New Order - State Of The Nation - not one of their best singles, but some good moments.
Little General - Beauty Fades (Dumb Is Forever) - great title! Little known Melbourne group
Midnight Oil - Short Memory - this song is over 20 years old and still relevant.
Yo La Tengo - Wasn't Born To Follow - Hoboken's finest light it up
Roxy Music - Avalon - a classic! (I wonder how many times I need to use this word today)
Slowdive - Sweet Child O'Mine - one of the mildest covers of a wild song you'll ever hear.
Jello Biafra & Mojo Nixon - Plastic Jesus - heh heh heh! This has to be heard to be believed!
The Legendary Stardust Cowboy - Bladerunner - starts like the Dead Kennedys, ends like a train wreck
They Might Be Giants - Someone Keeps Moving My Chair - no idea what this song is about
Boys Don't Cry - I Wanna Be A Cowboy - 80s one-hit-wonder..... thankfully!
Tom Tom Club - Genius Of Love (live) - from the Stop Making Sense CD - funky
Yo La Tengo - Last Days Of Disco - Cool sounds from New Jersey
Chenard Walcker - Monome Valentine - French audio artist mashes up funk, jazz and others
...and I'm spent! Time for dinner.
More will be added to the drive.... more musical randomness shall ensue!
