Heh, second track is "Overheard in a WaWa parking lot" by the Bloodhound Gang. This should be fun.

OT: Having been a fighting farmer myself, I am confident you have no idea what a wawa is.

Actually, it was a huge deal when they opened a WaWa out in front of my neighborhood in Virginia.

Assuming I take out all the ripped TV show commentaries and self-recorded crud I'd have about 23 days worth of music from Kyuss's "Yeah" to the recording of Lightning Bolt on the John Peel sessions. ACTUALLY, it would go to Eddie Izzard's "Definite Article" if I kept comedy in which I think I would because I've got a bunch of David Cross and Mitch Hedberg that I'd have to pick out of the mix anyway.

BOOM. Finished it today, took almost exactly 2 months to listen to 362 hours of music. Comes out to an average of about 6.5 hours a day, which shows how long I spend sitting in front of the computer listening to music, especially when there was a week's holiday where I just listened to my ipod on a normal shuffle in there. The last 40 hours which was all songs over 10 minutes was freaking amazing, best bit of the entire experience.


I think I really, really need to listen to some full albums right now.

It was very tough up to ~2 minutes, because a lot of it was stupid skits, and the good songs that short are always disappointing because I want more. Then it was all cool, it got a bit worse around 5-6 minutes, when there were a fair few mediocre songs that are fairly long. Still mainly good, or why would I have the music? But then everything 8+ minutes long was awesome.

I didn't really think about it for the month or so where it was 3-4 minutes, I almost always put my whole library in shuffle while I'm on the computer so it was pretty much like that, took no effort to stick with.

I'm not sure I really got anything from the experience, other than I love long songs (although that could just be the coincidence that all the long songs I have just happen to be good!). Back to listening to music normally. I do have a much stronger desire to listen to good albums that have a really cohesive structure. There's something special about a really well-put-together album.

Where do you store your iTunes library & how do you back it up?

The end would be a challenge for me. Five 1 Hour tracks by La Monte Young of weird 'prepared piano' music, followed by El Mundo Frio.

I think this would make me realize how much shit I don't listen to in my library.

Now, if I was to do this with music I own physically, it'd be much more fun.
