Random fucking blah
What do you fucking people want? Will you never be sated?
01. Salty Dog, “Welcome Paddy Home”
Pretty. Sappy, some might say, but whatever. I like it. 7/10
02. Slim Cessna's Auto Club, “Cranston”
This is a good song to stomp up and down to. 8/10
03. Buck 65, “Phil”
A quite good love song, actually. I don't know what the title has to do with anything. 8/10
04. The Beatles, “Yesterday”
Oh fucking fuck, man. Maybe this was a good song at one point, but now it's just fucking undifferentiated grey cultural mush. And Paul McCartney is a fucking prat. I'd be fucking overjoyed if I never heard this fucking song again in my fucking life. Fuck it. 3/10
05. Steeleye Span, “White Cliffs of Dover”
Sort of new-agey-sounding. Not exactly what you would expect--or want--from this band. I'm afraid I'll have to pass. 5/10
06. Joe Jackson, “Baby Stick Around”
Someone's telling me we're made of scandals. someone's stepping on my plastic sandals. This song is very, very...good. 8/10
07. Led Zeppelin, “When the Levee Breaks”
I heard a version of this sung in a play I saw recently, which really made me appreciate it. I dunno; the Zeppelin version is pretty good. 7/10
08. XTC, “Ball and Chain”
I feel as if I ought to like XTC more than I actually do. Certainly I should have during my anglophilia period. And I do like some of their stuff, but I dunno, man...this is okay. 6/10
09. Roxy Music, “Bittersweet”
Very majestic, imposing, Weimar Republic-sounding stuff. And you have to love Brian Ferry singing in German. 9/10
10. ABBA, “Honey Honey”
Ha ha. It doesn't get much more uncool than this. Yes, ABBA is kitschy, but at their best they're majestically kitschy. This is just bubblegum. 3/10

Question: If a song ranks at less than, I dunno, 4 or so, wouldn't it be considered for deletion from your iTunes? Or are you just trying to keep a high number of tunes on your comp for bragging rights? :p
G
That might be the case were I a more rational person. But nope--I'm a hoarder. I like having complete albums even if I don't like some of the songs. And it makes little difference, practically speaking: the one upside to my harddrive's recent meltdown was that I replaced it with a 160GB model, so I can keep shovelling in more and more music nigh unto infinity.
160GB?! You could put all the music ever made in the UK on there and still have room.
Which means you'll need more Oasis on your computer. And perhaps a foray into Canadian rock, no? :P
Possibly. I'm open to suggestions :P
Oh! How exciting! Even if I detect snark in your use of :P!
I'm giving you suggestions regardless...
