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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
