melannen | you thought you had lost me, little did you know

I just spent all evening going through my mp3 collection and deleting duplicates and making sure I have proper artist attributions. I think I figured out all of them except one titled "Found", which I think is by somebody's little brother's band on my friendsfriends list, and I'll probably never figure it out. It's actually quite good, too. I have a habit of downloading songs by random people just for fun and am often pleasantly surprised. Plus it gets me the "music that nobody else listens to, ever" point on that geek test. q:

1299 songs. First person to link me to a song on the web that I don't yet have gets a drabble of choice. I want 1300 even, darnit.

And then, to figure out how to rip tapes and lp's: sounds like a spring break project!

And I'm now 1/3 of the way through cleaning out my personal files on this hard drive. *phewf* Next step: figure out how to write cd's, make a backup disk, make an lj disk . . .

ps. does anyone know a quick and easy way to turn off ID3 and ID2 tags that I can do in xmms/nautilus/notlame? EDIT: Never mind, figured it out.

Hmm.. Since mp3.com disappeared, there's not as much nifty stuff.. I'd recommend Bedlam, but they don't seem to have any mp3's on their web page.. and though Lothorien does, it doesn't look like it's whole songs, though. And you've already seen Tinsmith and might even have their CDs.

Or you could just browse my mp3 collection.. http://flan.umiacs.umd.edu:8900 (from UMD machines only, l: mp3 p: mp3)

I lied - it's actually http://flan.umiacs.umd.edu:8900/mp3, except that doesn't actually work because it's really UMIACS machines only, not UMD machines only, so it wouldn't work anyway. Maybe I will instead post an easily accessible list and you can make an account on your machine where I can SCP them or something. I should post an updated list of the CDs I have, too..

And for something slightly different:

Sometime After Seven, a local band a Friend of a Friend plays in, with three full-length mp3s..

and Grey Eye Glances, a band Jesse introduced me to a while ago.. if you get the .m3u thingies the links in the 'song' column point to, the actual URLs to the mp3 are in those.

Why do they seem to that, anyway? I thought .m3u was playlist files. . .

They are. But one of the uses of .m3u files is to support streaming mp3s - you put the url to the mp3 in the .m3u file, the browser opens the .m3u file with xmms or winamp or whatever, and the player starts downloading and playing right away instead of waiting until the whole song is downloaded.

Here's "Pinball Wizard", by the Who. (http://w3.mivlmd.cablespeed.com/~yduts/The Who - Pinball Wizard.mp3)

Oh also, the song "Popup Ads", by FireTruckJoe at the Newgrounds Audio Portal (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/view.php?id=470111&sub=5386) is sufficiently annoying to mark the unlucky 13(hundred).

Sorry bout the triple post, but could you put up a snippet of lyrics from this "Found" song? I've found like 3-5 different "Found"s, and would like to see if there's a match.

You thought you had lost me
little did you know
I'll never be changed in such a way
they're passing behind you
oh's lost
Fading to chaos once and again
I'm coming for you
I'll come rescue you ooooh

cause I lost you
and you lost me
and we were two
we're meant to be
And I'll find you
my side you'll cling to
'till death doth part eternity

You thought you had lost me
little did you know
I'll never be changed in such a way
they're passing behind you
oh's lost
Fading to chaos once and again
I'll not let you go again noo
I'll take you away

Is the first two verses + ref . .. but like I said, I sincerely doubt it's anything findable. I google most of the lyrics before I remembered where I got it from and got nada.

Doesn't match any of the ones I found, but I know I've heard those lyrics somewhere before. I don't think it's unfindable.

Too late to win the drabble, but my bf,

djluminal, linked to an mp3 of one of his tracks in an entry (http://www.livejournal.com/users/djluminal/17966.html) last month.

Actually, you were the first person to link directly to a particular mp3 which I didn't have, as opposed to a band page, so you can have it!

I've been wanting to try some electronica anyway, so yay.

You mean you don't want a massive information overload?

... Not that I'm, you know, bitter or anything.

You should count yourself lucky I haven't started randomly burning you dozens of CDs, folk geek that you are. I think I still owe

jalenstrix a bunch of stuff, anyway.

But I am not a folk geek.

Folk geek would require, y'know, actually knowing something about folk.

Me, I just listen to music that people tell me to listen to . . .

You can have a drabble too if you want. I did download a couple sometime after seven songs, although I know I will keep getting it confused with several something (http://www.severalsomething.com).

Folk geek would require, y'know, actually knowing something about folk.

But you do, or at least do a pretty good job of pretending to, about Thomas Rhymer and Tam Lin and Allison Gross and friends.

I keep confusing Sometime After Seven with We're About 9 (whose website seems to be down currently), a Baltimore folk band I've never seen or heard.

You can have a drabble too if you want.

All I can come up with is the utterly silly and bizzare, such as George (from Mathnet)/Professor Vector. And I wouldn't want to twist your arm or anything. So don't worry about it;-)

That would require me knowing something about *George*. . .

And folklore I know fairly well, yes-- note those songs all have fairies in common-- but music I know nothing about at all, or at least nothing beyond my usual smattering of isolated trivia.

That would require me knowing something about *George*. . .

Well, it's not as if you know much of anything about Profesor Vector, either.. but at least there you'd be free to make up more or less whatever you want.

And folklore I know fairly well, yes

Folklore geek, then, if not a folk geek proper. Good enough for me.
