iTunes and Your Tunes

[almo]

No I tunes here. I use an MD player, and my computer.

Lets see what have I been into as of late???

Wide Wale, Cocteau Twins, r.e.m., and a bit of Matmatah.

Now for stuff you may actually know, I have been listening to: K. D. Lang and some Tracy Chapman.

Thanks for askin' Kelly!

OK, since some of you may not be able to get to my playlist, I'll tell ya that Muse and Keane have spent much time in my ears recently. But my playlist doesn't include much of their stuff, simply because I like to listen to their entire CDs.

My playlist is a whole lot of 2005 "alternative" ... not too dark, just a bit melancholy, lots of guitar, and they've gotta have decent voices.

Here are some of the songs:
Fade Out - Pappalee
In the Shadows - The Rasmus
Such Great Heights - The Postal Service
Daughters - John Mayer
Collide - Howie Day
Run - Snow Patrol
L'amour á 3 - Stereo Total
They - Jem
Do You Realize - The Flaming Lips
Karaoke Soul - Tom McRae

Also, just because I love the songs:
One - Faith Hill
White Flag - Dido
I'll Stand By You - The Pretenders

AND, to round it out with a bit of a happy beat:
Aserejé - Las Ketchup
Let's Get Loud - JLo
Ain't It Funny - JLo


Plus 3 Keane and 1 Muse. Just gotta inject any playlist with a bit of them.

Being the technological genius that I am , I couldn't get the MP3 player I bought to work so I just returned it. It was an iRiver flash player, but it would cut songs out part way thru, and skip sometimes. How can it do that when the file plays fine burned to CD or right off the PC? Didn't need the headache... Thought it would be perfect for learning songs my band is doing rather than burning tons of CD's with a couple songs on them each. Thought wrong!

Cocteau Twins? Haven't heard that name in awhile! REM? Know it well.

I have a 2300 mile road trip coming up next month so I need to start looking for stuff to listen to on the way! I listen to a lot of different things, some of my favorites are (no particular order) The Pretenders, Rush, The Who, Emmylou Harris, Jazz in general (not elevator music type ) and James McMurtry (thanks Brian!).

The Cocteau Twins is something I got from PJ, but I have been an REM loyalist for more than 13 years. Since my early teens. I am curently up to 33 rem cd's, and 34 is in tha mail!

I use iTunes on occasion, but have no idea how to create an iMix. I do like how you can sample songs for various radio stations, however...I usually just use it to add songs to my mp3 player -- it's a must-have if you spend a lot of time in the car.

to create an iMix, you just make a playlist on the side of your iTunes, then drag songs to it from either the store or from your library. You don't have to own the song to put it in your iMix. Then, when you've got the songs you want in your playlist, highlight the playlist and then go to the menu (above) and under "File", there is an option to "Create an iMix". Click on that and follow the directions.

It's really easy.

Since I don't have iTunes, I guess I'll just rattle off what I listen too. Coldplay, Pink Floyd, The Derailers, Leo Kottke (though not for a while), Beetles. Bach and Handel are always good too when I am feeling mellow. And of course when my mom is not too near the computer (because of the "shouting" as she calls it ), Led Zepplin, and some U2. And of course, I couldn't forget my favorite, The Eagles.

another view, The Who are alright, but I like Peter Townshend's solo stuff better I think. Ahhhhhhh, another classic Brit rock band.

My mp3 playlist consists of some Dave Matthews, The Arcade Fire, Alter Bridge, Rage Against the Machine, U2, some Jack Johnson, and even some Josh Groban. Each band for a different mood!

the thievery corporation (new album: cosmic game)
manu chao
max richter
moby
leona naess

Wow, Kelly, we listen to a lot of the same music. I have those Muse, PS, Keane, and other songs. I make a point to DL the iTunes Free Song every week, which I think comes out on Tuesdays. Every once in a while I'll go back and listen to the "Purchased Music" playlist and am pretty happy with the mix of music I'm introduced to.

I stumbled across Gabe Lopez one day while surfing the net, he reminds me of Jason Mraz and John Meyer a bit.
