I Tunes.

I was a wee bit slow picking up on the whole itunes thing but thanks to my iphone i now have it on the laptop and it has created a problem for me.

I am a dude who needs order. I collect stuff and arrange stuff (hence the blog) I used to have all my Cd's and DVDs in alphabetical order until Aaron (eldest kid) destroyed that plan. And I mean destroyed... I collected wrestling cards, cricket cards, garbage pail kids cards, lego, books and basically if it weren't for Jen (wife) i would be that crazy dude on tv with the five hundred different brands of glow in the condoms on the wall....

However my new problem is that itunes tells you how many times you have played each track and i can't stand all the 0's so i have to play them all. And itunes tells me that i have 10.2 days of music on the laptop, not including vids. As I have so little time anyway i am trying to be methodical in my approach and start with A.

So the first problem is that the first track is something by 'Aaliyah' Who the? what the fuck? Anyway I'm pretty sure that it's going to crap from one of Jens albums, so i skipped that.

Next is Abba. Yeesh. I bought that cd when we came back from the USA and had just watched Love in Las Vegas (best live event ever....) and we picked up Abba and Elvis in a moment of madness. To be honest, Abba remind me of my mum and and Elvis is the King (Highly recommend you listen to 'a little less conversation'

Next is Ace of Base. fuck. sorry. i was 14 and trying to impress the girl next door. I think it is better if i also mention that i picked up Kerosene Hat by Cracker and August and Everything After by Counting Crows at the same time.

So whole point of this post is this: Next on the list is Alanis Morisette. That chick can fucken sing. I remember working at Big Fresh (supermarket chain based on the US market garden scenario) back in the day listening to Rick Dees and the Sunday countdown and Alanis was massive! Damn, great music and a Grammy in '94 too. I often remonstrate that music is better when they REALLY MEAN what they're playing, and she really really means You Oughta Know.

People who think chicks don't rock need a rock. in the balls.....

(I am a big believer in never letting the truth get in the way of a good story, but it is only fair to mention that Aerosmith and Airborne feature before Alanis....
