The other night I was up way late (ok, it was only after twelve but I was still sick) because I found out YouTube has videos of songs I haven't heard in a long time. I was momentarily stuck in the 80's as I poked around looking for old songs. Bad, bad, bad. I was listening to Kate Bush, Intaferon, OMD, and Gary Numan. It was great, although I felt a little compulsive about it. I had five or six tabs open on my web browser (IE7 finally has tabs!) and was going back and forth. I was also using Google to try and come up with the correct names of songs and bands so I wasn't wasting my time futilely searching for the wrong things (I missed spelled Intaferon repeatedly!). One of my favorite techniques is to put in the lyrics in Google and see if the band and song pops up. Actually, I programmed/labeled songs in my iPod once that way because I had used a copied disc once and iTunes wouldn't/couldn't look up the songs.
I've also discovered that the radio stations on iTunes are quite good. This saves me at work where all the music on the computer I use is HipHop. There is only one album that I know I like on the computer: The Miseducation of Lauren Hill. I started to use the radio stations because I woke up at 5am this morning and knew I wasn't going back to sleep (I didn't have to get up until 6:30). I ended up poking around on the computer and found the stations were decent. Now, however, I need to go take a nap before I work tonight.
