Listening, but Not Hearing

I was having trouble editing songs from Downtown's iPod (that's the name I typed in when asked), but it is because all I ever listen to are my favourites such as the Descendents, Queers, and since this summer Alkaline Trio.

I have been telling people on the blog and in person that I was going to listen to my iPod on random and really clean up the garbage on it. I didn't hear myself apparently. Today I will listen to my tunes on random while editing my homework, and really take this editing game to the next level. I'll let you know every song, give a little blurb for some, and then let you know if it stays or goes.

The Barrymores - Jesse and Jo - Cool, from Winnipeg, heck yeah it stays.

Alkaline Trio - Old School Reasons - See above, I'm liking this random.

Nirvana - I Hate Myself and i Want to Die - I thought this was just the Beavis and Butthead intro - I wish I could edit that out. You know I hate intros.

Cypress Hill - I Want To Get High - I edited most the Hill off of hear, but this on stays.

DOA - Billy and the Socreds - Cool tune to the beat of Down On The Corner. BC Punk.

The Flatliners - These Words Are Bullets - Oh yeah hate the name, but I like the tune.

Hot Box - Staggering

Nomeansno - Bitches Brew - Live at the WECC on Oct. 15. Love the band, but this thing is slow, weird and OVER 15 MINUTES LONG - This B is getting the ole heave hoe.

Nirvana - Drain You - Classic hockey dressing room music from my childhood.

The Aquabats - Pitch and Roll - I think this thing is get edited unless it gets funny, wait it is. I think will stay. Yup it stays.

Gang Green - Skate to Hell - I love skateboard songs.

All right so we found one, but I know that there are more that should be deleted. Kurtis Blow has a couple slow songs Ii can do without.

iPod Editing Turns Big Winded Propagandhi

I am listening to Propagandhi’s Potekin City Limits album. I bought it years ago, and have probably only listened to it in total three times. I thought that the style wasn’t what I was used to, and it isn’t, but it’s not as bad as I thought it might be. I do hate when they slow it down in certain parts, it is almost emo. I’m not sure what to do. Tell you what I will put the tracks on this blog if I learn how, and then you tell me which ones should be dropped. For the record Lapointe/Smith all be dropped, because I hate live show speaking

You know the more I listen to this album the more I get into it, and now that a baby is crying on the bus I gotta say this Gandhi rocks. This style still isn’t up to the snuff of say Less Talk More Rock, but a few more listens on a more mellow yet rebellious day may be just what I need to truly embrace the newest Propagandhi albums

Here is a list of some of the crap I took off my iPod and reason why it stinks. Oh the latest track off Potekin City Limits may have to go.

There is nothing to add to the list help me please. I’ve hit an impasse where all I can eliminate are intros and live chatter, and some of that I don’t even get rid of, such as the U.S. Bombs intro about living on the street.

Can you name any songs by the Band, or Allman Brothers Band that are over rated I like both these bands, but too much of it in between a sweet Misfits track, and one of the numerous Groovie Ghoulie jams really pulls down the morning line set.

Maybe next time I edit where I listen to my iPod.

Nothing Against Vinyl, But…

Nothing against vinyl, but I do try to grab a CD version of my favourite albums so that I can get them on my iPod. I do have a digital turntable that hooks up to my iTunes, but it plays so quietly that it throws my entire random off.

I have been considering taking all of my vinyl albums off of the iTunes, including one of my favourite albums, the Queers A Day Late and a Dollar Short. Well today I have decided to get it off. Actually, I decided to cut that vinyl version on Saturday when I picked up the compact disc version from Music Trader. The thing is my friend Ashley didn’t put the CD in the case, so I went back today, and finally got the disc, and Necromantics Bring Me Back To Life Again. Should I cut anything from that before listening? Let me know.

I have now been able to find several albums from my iTunes on a digital format. Creedence, Reagan Youth, Dead Kennedys. These are all being edited out.

Next time, tune into to see if I have the balls to cut some Propagandhi. I do, but you’ll be shocked at how much goes after a week of being weak, and not cutting as much as I should.

Give me suggestions on what I should cut from Elvis, Blink 182, Napalm Death, and Powerman 5000.

AGAIN !?!? Enough With The Interludes!

I found more in appropriate sexual content on my iPod. This time it came from that nogoodnick Eminem off his Marshall Mathers album. This one is a homosexual interlude that features the goofs from Insane Clown Posse pleasuring a character names Ken Kaniff. What a waste of time! Eminem doesn’t like something, and to express that he needs an interlude. None of this is new, but I guess that is what I get for putting any rap on my iPod.

Live and learn. Maybe next week I will actually take some music off. I don’t do that often though because different moods can get a person interested in music they did not care for previously. To help me I will put a survey and they most voted for song will be edited off my iPod each week.
