Awhile ago, I asked for people to send me music.
Yeah. I pretty much scored on that one. I wanted to thank the people that sent me stuff:
- ***Dave wins the “First Music Donation” award, though he sorta cheated, what with not having to mail them and all.
- Stacy wins the “Person with whom I could swap musical tastes and no one would notice” award. 20+ songs of kick-assedness.
- Meera wins the “A funky surprise in every box” award for sending me a great mix of stuff I would never have expected from her :)
- Mike (whom I didn’t know was sending me stuff at all) dredged up two CD’s of stuff I used to listen to all the time but despaired of ever getting MP3’s for. When I heard Temple of the Dog leading off the first CD, I smiled and kept smiling.
- Brian wins the “My God It’s So… Big” award. (19 CD’s. Nine. Teen. Cripes.)
Huge thanks — you guys rock. Now, I do too :)
As ***Dave so often says, “De nada.”
I also love that title. I laughed my ass off while I was burning those CDs. The range is pretty broad.
Heya Doyce-Man,
I love sharing music with people. I was feeling in a retro mood when I burned that stuff. I have never checked out the Breeders, which you laid a link down for earlier. I will certainly be checking more of that.
You mentioned a couple of weeks ago that you were feeling a little underutilized with your current job. I don’t think there is a song that epitomizes that feeling more than “Workin’ at the Car Wash Blues” by Croce. The man was a genius. I am glad that you liked at least some of it. I have always prided (?) myself on the fact that I have music in my collection anyone would both (1) love and also (2) be completely offended by. Probably a symptom of some psychosis . . .
Well, I made up for it by probably having the least engaging mix. But my tastes are pretty off-kilter, so there you go.
Whoohoo. Funk-Y. Glad you liked it!
You never replied to my email about how you wanted my semi-massive music collection offered over the ‘net, man. Ah well.
