Kind of a music snob’s wet dream: obscure faves like Yo La Tengo and GBV, ironic non-hits from Pearl Jam and Hole, jazz and garage rock classics, and the Ramones.
21,000+ songs in your library? Geez, Louise! I have about a tenth that.
Martha Wainwright, "Niger River" I Know You’re Married But I Have Needs Too
Martha Wainwright, "Factory" Martha Wainwright
David Byrne, "The Accident" Look Into the Eyeball
Emily Sparks, "Midnight Rendezvous" What Could Not Be Buried
Bob Dylan, "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine" John Wesley Harding
Johnny Dowd, "Corner Laundromat" Cruel Words
Teddy Thompson, "Slippery Slope" A Piece of What You Need
Ryan Adams, "Everybody Knows" Easy Tiger
Jason Collett, "Not Over You" Here’s to Being Here
Damien Jurado, "Abilene" Where Shall You Take Me?
Bonus: Cat Power, "Sweedeedee" The Covers Record
Kicking off with one of Martha's worst songs, then one of her best.
I'm gaining on you, George, after a six-month buying spree -- 11,140 songs. I could probably get upwards of 15,000 with worthy older stuff if I could get motivated to rip it in.
But before I get around to that I think I have to go back and re-rip everything in Apple Lossless format, which I just learned about a few days ago. Did that exist last year or two years ago when I put in 891 freaking albums? Please tell me it came out in one of the incessant recent iTunes updates.
