I saw this journal entry from another scrobbler who had this massive long list of artists that s/he didn't want anyone to mention on their profile, EVVAAAARR, including Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Tool, etc. There was a mind-boggling array of great artists on the "forbidden" list, and I just thought it was interesting. The reason this person didn't want these artists mentioned was that the artists are often talked about as having had a HUGE influence on other bands, and this person was sick of hearing that.

Fair enough. But just know that I don't mind anyone mentioning ANY…

In a short while I will have ripped almost all the CDs in my possession to iTunes and will then start my marathon and culling process. At present I have 4768 songs in iTunes from CDs in my possession, or songs that I have recently purchased via iTunes Store, etc. I guess I should add all the mp3s I also have from previous downloading sessions before starting my cull!

My aim is to also cull my CD collection (I have a lot of sampler CDs from working with the radio, and some of these no doubt can be taken back…

I have just purchased a compilation of classic '90s pop tunes, and to me this makes me rather daggy, and yet I frickin' love this shit! It's like I'm getting to relive my youth. Sure, some of the songs on the compilation I am definitely going to be skipping over every time, for instance Boom Boom Boom by the Outhere Brothers… But so far the majority of the songs I've heard (I'm up to track 6 of disc 1) are totally allowed to stay! Woot!

I also just received Enya in the mail - a best of. I have never…

1. The Smashing Pumpkins 2,520
They've been my favourite band since 1994 or so, when a high school friend introduced me to them good and proper. Prior to that I had seen video clips of theirs (the first was "Disarm") and found myself intrigued. I have seen them three times now, the first times being in 2007 when I caught two of their shows during their nation-wide tour of the US. The third time was back home in Perth, Australia, last year. My love has not wavered yet.
2. Liz Phair 981
Liz Phair's music speaks to me, and though…

Apparently my colleague Alison and I are both bogans (her description) when it comes to music. This meaning that we like slightly heavier music and not just mainstream crap. Not that all mainstream stuff IS crap, but a lot of it is. *g*

She has Triple J 11 and Triple J 12 (the metal compilations), and I said, 'Hey wait, I do have Triple J 13'! So we knew we were bonded in boganship. Hehe.

I have plans to buy some new music when I get my K-Rud money, $900.00 from the government that we are ENCOURAGED to spend, to…

AND SCROBBLIN'!

Nope, I have nothing I'd rather be doing. :) I am sighing in bliss! If it wasn't a school night I'd be throwing back a few drinks, but sadly…I get up at 6:45 :( boo to that.

but scrobbling!!!!!

Yes I have the internet at home :)

The first artist I have chosen to scrobble is Tracy Redhead, who I saw down south with a couple of my work girlfriends. We had a great 4-day weekend away and managed to catch a Tracy show in Margaret River. Tracy Redhead rocks!!

There has been a lot of her…

I have been listening to soooo much new music lately…and none of it shows up here. Because I have no internet at home.

I'm hoping for all that to change VERY soon!

Sun 6 Apr – V Festival

Sunday was a great day. I managed to meet up with Helen. Tried most of the day to find Evelyn who I went to high school with, but didn't succeed despite endless texting. I did meet up with Bruna, Doug and Anthony. So overall I was successful.

Musical highlights of the day for me were:

* The Jesus & Mary Chain (probably the biggest surprise of the day, though I was fairly sure I would like them)
* Queens of the Stone Age
* The Smashing Pumpkins

Didn't get to see much of Modest…

…I told Billy Corgan that he better watch out 'cause I was coming to get him.

Yikes. Hehe.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!

V FESTIVAL!

BILLY-NESS!

(The Smashing Pumpkins)

I would have listened to way more music on here!!!

Damn! I have missed the scrobbling so much, not having the internet at home.

I'm off to listen to some good shit now, man. :)

Hmm which band pages should I assault first??!!

EDIT: I should explain. Well, there's no real need to, but I thought I would anyway. I have no internet at home. I also have no full admin rights on my work computer, which means I can't install any of the plugins for scrobbling. Can't even sync my iPod.

But I've just discovered that when you listen…
