After I got my new iPod I assigned myself the fun (though tedious) task of taking all of my CDs that wouldn’t fit on my first iPod and putting them on my computer since my new iPod held 3x as much music. This meant putting on a lot of albums that weren’t really in the front of my head and that, quite often, I hadn’t listened to since high school or college.<\/p>\n
All in all, it ended up being 2270 songs = 8.5 days of music.<\/p>\n
While I definitely increased the amount of “filler” songs on my iPod\/computer, there were definitely some gems among the bunch. Although I haven’t had a chance to come close to listening to all of them, so far I have rated (and I don’t rate all songs I listen to — maybe only 1\/3 or 1\/2 of them) 208 songs. Of those 208, 22 have been rated with five stars, which means I absolutely love them.<\/p>\n
I wanted to share those five-star songs (ordered alphabetically by artist):<\/p>\n
Of all those, I have to say that the real “lost treasure” was “King” by Belly. I always knew that “Super-Connected” was a great song, but I forgot how much I loved “King.” It’s too bad that King<\/i> (the album) tanked so bad and the group broke up.<\/p>\n
Stuff like this is what I wanted a 60GB iPod for. I love rediscovering music I may have forgotten about. If all I had was my old 20G, I wouldn’t have gone through my old CDs and I wouldn’t have remembered how much I missed some of these songs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
