Listening To The Lost, Part 1

Image
For years I've had countless records burned onto a hard drive that I've never listened to. Most of them come from the 13 years spent at a Borders Books and Music, burning in store promos and then returning them to the store for someone else to take (or burn). I kept 10-15% of all promos I took home because they were among my favorite bands, no one else wanted them, or from claiming managerial rights. [I'm the manager, therefore, I'm right.] I want to see what I haven't listened to ever, or at least since February 2016 when the 'last played' counter in my iTunes reset due to a computer crash. Currently the oldest 'last played' song is "If I Had A $1000000" by the Barenaked Ladies from Gordon . 2/19/2016 10:35PM. Most played is "The Enemy Within" by Rush from Grace Under Pressure  with 15 plays, all by itself, followed by more Rush and Inon Zur's soundtrack to Fallout 4. I wish I had my old counts, as I know both Lifes Rich Page...

Ch-ch-ch-changes...

So I've decided to rename this blog. It now shares a name with my old radio show on 90.1fm WUSB. Don't like it? Too bad. Inspired by a friend. I thought I'd take a crack at writing about music every day as well. Can't imagine I'm going to be able to do one a day, but I'll try for 100 or so by the end of the year.
