I was cleaning up my iTunes library and I discovered a few things:
- I have a copy of "The Crying Game" even though I don't remember downloading or even ever listening to it.
- I could never make a fanmix for Doctor Who because it would just end up being most of 69 Love Songs and various Franz Ferdinand songs. Not very mixy. So many songs off of 69 Love Songs work so well for The Doctor. "(Crazy For You But) Not That Crazy" perfectly describes The Doctor (Well, 9 and 10 anyway) and how he interacts with his companions. Everytime I listen to it I see a Doctor/Martha Doctor/Rose vid in my mind. "I built a ship / with my own hands / to take us to the Moon." "I pretended you were Jesus / you were just dying to save me." Dude. dude. You try telling me those lines aren't perfect Doctor/Martha Doctor/Rose lines. I really wish I could make vids.
- I have 111 Joy Division songs, which I find odd because I never listen to them, even though I feel like I totally should.
- I have 680 Beatles songs. Yeah. What's really crazy about that is I don't even think I have all of A Hard Day's Night, With The Beatles or Beatles For Sale. I guess most of those 680 songs are bootlegs, but I don't think I downloaded that many bootlegs.
- It is possible for The Beatles to sound really shitty. Their 'version' of "House of The Rising Sun" was incredibly disappointing, of course you can tell they were just dicking around in the studio and didn't really care about how they sounded, but still. I discovered this in December, but I kind of forgot about it until it came up on my shuffle tonight.
- I never listened to "A Garden" by Okkervil River, but as soon as it started playing it reminded me of Mrs. Dalloway. It was kind of incredible. I've never listened to a song and have it like, completely identify (is that the right word?) an entire book for me in 51 seconds. I read that book two years ago, and this song is totally making the details just rush back to me. Weird.
That last bullet point sounded kind of crazy. I think it's time for me to stop spamming and go to bed.
