MovableBlog: Month without MP3s: Recap

April 5, 2003

The month without MP3s is over (see here for the background). About 3/4 the way though, I discovered the Legal MP3 Download weblog, through which I found Zach De La Rocha ft DJ Shadow "March of Death". There was also Beastie Boys' "In A World Gone Mad" (both songs are anti-war songs, and I was more interested in the artists than the message). Here are the CDs of mine that I rediscovered, which would give you an idea of the type of music I listen to:

• Aaliyah's Aaliyah
• Basement Jaxx's Rooty
• Basement Jaxx's Remedy
• Beastie Boys' Hello Nasty
• The Beta Band's The 3 E.P.s
• Blackalicious' NIA
• Blackalicious' Blazing Arrow
• Coldplay's Parachutes
• Cornershop's When I Was Born for the 7th Time
• DJ Spooky's Riddim Warfare
• Outkast's Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
• Radiohead's Amnesiac
• Radiohead's Kid A
• Zero7's Simple Things

I also did a lot of listening to WOXY Cincinnati despite living thousands of miles away (thank you streaming audio!). I'm really digging the Postal Service's "Such Great Heights" and may have to download the MP3 buy the CD. That above list of CD's may not seem like a lot, but that can be explained away by the fact that got cable TV about halfway into the month.

In other news, I just recently quit instant messaging cold turkey. Wish me luck.
