I feeeeeeel... so good.

I went through and got together all the MP3's i've collected. Roughly 943. Roughly 2.5 gigs. I say roughly, because a few of those happen to be wavs and other odds and ends, and a couple that i'm sure aren't mine, and a few are my own music. (I typed "mewsic".)

Now out of these nearly-1000 MP3's, i don't feel guilty about having any of them. Here's why: Out of all those MP3's, only a small percentage are multiple MP3's from one artist. Those consist of MP3's freely distributed on the web by the artist, those not easlily available in America, or ones i ripped myself. The rest are either by independent artists, and rare or live tracks, or again, ones i ripped myself. The remaining songs are single tracks i wanted off of a cd. I do not feel like i should spend 12-20 dollars on a cd for one song. I usually feel like i need to like 3 songs on a CD before i wlll buy it, 2 minimum. I don't feel i'm ripping anyone off downloading one song off a cd. I can't think of any cd that i have more than one song from unless i own the cd or the above conditions are met. I could be wrong, but i don't believe i am.

That's my personal philosophy of MP3 collection. I wrote it basically as an excuse to sit here and listen to more music while i'm in the mood, and to delay going to bed. Thank you. :)

Oh, and i just came across a live version of "You Know You're Right" by Nirvana. Odd. I think a studio version done the way this live version was done would be even better. You appreciate Nirvana again, after a few years of not lsitening to them much, and living through second and third generation grunge-wannabe bands all over the radio and MTV. ::coughpuddleofmuddnickelbackstaindcough::

"Only emptiness remains.
It replaces all of the pain.
Won't you come out and play with me?

Step by step, heart to heart,
Left right left, we all fall down,
like toy soldiers.

Bit by bit, torn apart...
We never win, but the battle wages on,
for toy soldiers."

I wanna cover that.

She just didn't understand, she just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop. Cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool.
Pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right,
'cuz when you're laying in bed at night,
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah.....

Why does "Bother" by Stone Sour remind me of "Beth" by Kiss? And i just realized, it has NO DRUMS in it. Cool. I can't believe i never noticed that before. Wait, does "Beth" also not have drums? Wow, is it the same song? Freaky.

I cried when my old computer died. It had my "spookymommy" wav. And those first snippets of The Perfect Drug. *sigh*

FifthDream....the wav baby. :P

Somewhere in the world is a computer with those wavs still on them, all of them, believe it or not. ;) If i'd had a 30 gig harddrive back then, i'd have been dangerous. If i had broadband and MP3's, i would have been hated by all.

Man, i remember when i first heard of MP3's.....
