12,000 tracks. I missed what my 10,000th track was and it still bothers me. But i saw my 12,000 coming and made it special.

For whatever reason I seem to be spending more money on music then usual. Not that I really need a reason.

Already arrived this week:
Pearl's Girl (a memory of my uncles house when I was 14)
Music for People

And I'm still waiting on:
The Eyes of Stanley pain
Odyssey Of The Mind (Been meaning to pick up some of their work forever)
Trickstereprocess
Walking With Strangers

While I was living in the UK I wasn't spending very much on music, unlike before I moved over where I was buying a cd or two a week. Looks like this…

I just realized i've been here for over a year. One year and I'd say about 11,000 tracks. Doesn't feel that long though.

I grew up with both my parents who were Christians and pretty much listened to either Christian pop or instrumental music. While i came to the decision that i hated the Christian that my parents listened to by the time i was eight or nine. The instrumental however i actually enjoyed and stuck with. I used to do my elementary school homework listening to Vivaldi, Mozart, or Beethoven. It was one of my uncles that really got me into music though. He listened to a huge variety of things. The beetles, Daft Punk, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Louis Armstrong,…

For the few of you that follow my movements online you may be happy to know that my pc (and the rest of the stuff i shipped from england) finally got in. So I should be on more often and now that I have my music I'll have music on my profile again.

I've missed my music immensely. I had a bit of it with me on my PSP and my wife's laptop but it just wasn't enough for three months. Anyway, I'm good now.

Hope your all well.

Matthew Good is streaming his upcoming album "Hospital Music" in it's entirety on his website. Fans of his work or anybody with an appreciation of depressing music should head on over and check it out.

I've been following Matt Good over the past few years reading his blog. The past year of his life has been one of if not the worst he's ever had to live through. And the album reflects that. The first track "Champions of Nothing" sets the tone for the album with a very somber note. And while the music isn't necessarily depressing the lyrics cannot…

Moving day approaches and I'm losing my pc tomorrow morning. I'll be without my music collection for anywhere between 3 to 5 months. I'll be keeping some of it on my psp but that's not going to be enough. Either way, I'll make due.

Hope you all have a good few months.

Was thinking about it recently and there are just some albums that you can't get tired of. You can always come back to them and they are still good. There are lots of great albums out there, but few can achieve the kind of greatness that puts them with the cream of my music collection. For me some of those albums are:

Mutter
The Fragile
Antichrist Superstar
Zerospace
Thirteenth Step
OK Computer
Visual Audio Sensory Theater
Avalanche
Silence Is Sexy
Hybrid
Mezzanine

If anybody reads this, let me know some of the albums that you never tire of, that you…

Mutter
I don't know what it is about Mutter. It's one of those amazing albums that you can play to death and then come back in a few months and it's awsome all over again. And not just a few tracks the whole album, track for track, is absolutely amazing. I've no idea how many times i've gone through the cycle but it has to be in the hundreds at least. I bought the album when it came out and it remains one of the few that i have to play to death when i put it on after a…
