The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2006 Never say "I'm surprised I've gotten three and a half years out of this, I just hope it doesn't die all of a sudden!" 'cuz then it will in like seven hours What I've salvaged Frank Zappa Tom Waits Pink Floyd Camper Van Beethoven The Arcade Fire Broken Social Scene Miles Davis U2 The Beach Boys The Beatles Polyphonic Spree Faust Radiohead Wilco Dave Brubeck Waiting for the Moon other stuff hang on a sec What I probably lost Fountains of Wayne Guster Kraftwerk Can Neu! Led Zeppelin All the other Tindersticks albums An assortment of classic rock shit that I used to like The Smiths So actually when I write it all out, I only lost like 40 albums or so out of 130 after scrounging for all my backups and stuff. That's not the worst, but a minor inconvenience nonetheless. No "Hallogallo" to chill out to. I'm taking it in to Best Buy to see if they can retrieve the hard drive, but I have a bad feeling it's gone. Out of nowhere it just stopped turning on and only kinda hums and sputters for a few seconds before shutting off. So we'll see.

MMoM, I'll give you one caveat: Czech hates the Grateful Dead, along with most other 'jam bands'. I was being very sarcastic when I offered to provide him links to Dead Shows. I'll probably end up grabbing a bunch of shows from some of those links, though. I use archive & nugs (I'm actually listening to Phish from 1995 NYE as I type this) but a couple of the other links are new to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're a jazz fan at all, grab the Coltrane show on Sugarmegs, clear as can be, just perfect, it's 41 minutes and I think it's all working around "My Favorite Things" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been doing "Jazz Sunday Brunch" with an ex-gf of mine, and am already running out of good jazz on my iPod. Anything new that I can add to the mix is going to help break up the monotony.

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2006 I'm pretty sure iPod's can convert the WMA to an iPod playable format ... I'm not 100% certain though. If it doesn't work, I'll most assuredly hit you up for an mp3.
