Musical Scores

My musical tastes are shifting again. I just downloaded two symphonic albums, a bunch from this string quartet that does tributes. I still managed to get some from Pink Floyd, Thelonius Monk, et. al and Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. I've got to hand it to these Japs, they rock! Most of the titles are written in English and the scores are usually instrumental. I'm annoyed at yesterday's results of work. I barely accomplished anything. The only notable thing that I accomplished yesterday is fixed the DNS for my domain. mirror.jploh.com now points to my dev server. If you're on PLDT myDSL, their DNS servers haven't updated yet (way to go!) so you'll get some kind of error page. I had a bunch of files open but barely touched them. I was browsing around doing non-related stuff. I actually have a DIFFCAL exam later and papers to submit for INFOSYS. More on the playlist thing, I did a tally of the MP3s that I have. This was based from yesterday, without the new records that I just acquired. By number of tracks

1. Victor Wooten (109)
2. Incubus (88)
3. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones (71)
4. Lee Ritenour (67)
5. Jaco Pastorius (66)
6. Red Hot Chili Peppers (63)
7. Acoustic Alchemy (62)
8. Joe Satriani and Marcus Miller (58)
9. 311 (52)
10. Reel Big Fish (49)
11. Dave Matthews Band (45)

* Yngwie J. Malmsteen (117) ** Sade (79) By number of albums

• Lee Ritenour (7)
• Incubus (6)
• Bela Fleck and The Flecktones, Acoustic Alchemy, Victor Wooten, Joe Satriani and Jaco Pastorius (5)
• Steve Vai, 311 and Red Hot Chili Peppers (4)
• Dave Matthews Band, Rivermaya, Dream Theater, Marcus Miller, Carlos Santana, No Doubt, Reel Big Fish and Weather Report (3)

* Yngwie J. Malmsteen (10) ** Sade (8) * I had to rule out Malmsteen because I haven't listened to all his songs yet and I only got the albums from Jet, a punk-ass poser and die-hard fan of hard rock. ** Sade had to be ruled out to0. I downloaded all those eight records in one transfer session because I wanted a high-quality copy of "Smooth Operator". I don't listen to Malmsteen and Sade that much. Both are still good artists too. I included DMB in the top 10 because, I also got 311 from Fred (I don't listen to 311 as much as I listen to DMB either). This is also not a good way of measuring how much I like one artist. I should have used a 'Most Played' type but it's pretty hard to do that since I play MP3s on different computers also on different players (Ack! So unorganized). This was based (yesterday) from 3096 tracks, approximately 19.03GB in total size. I downloaded about one and a half Gigs of audio yesterday. Speaking of size, I have to get a new HD soon to move all my MP3s and documents in one safe spot. When we had our JAD session here at the house last Saturday, my laptop went to some sort of cardiac arrest. The screen blacked out and the optical drive kept checking if there was media in it (even if the tray was open). It scared the beheebee jibees out of me and right where I needed it most. Is it time to get a new laptop?
