iPOD Journal

Sorry--been a bit busy with some other writing endeavors that are long-term and keeping me away from blogging but will be totally worth it when they finally show up. For the moment, I'll point you towards a weird, who-knows-what-it-will-mean Tumblr project I started a couple weeks ago: The iPOD Journal. I'm figuring it out as I go along and I guess I'm still waiting to see the effects/results if any of this kind of cataloging, but yeah--check it out. Joseph of Geek Down started his own too. It's called EyePod, so check it out.

Also, I'm no longer associated with the website 41Yo.Com for a number of reasons I'll get into at some point.

    Kenny-
    I have a few of those I need to finish, I'll move them up on my procrastinating list if there's someone into the idea. Thanks!

    Brandon,

    I've been conducting a similar Ipod/Itunes experiment, but instead of a journal I'm creating playlists for the each month October 2008, November 2008, etc.

    New purchases/acquisitions, songs I find myself singing, or just retrospectives all make for fantastic playlists.

    I got the idea from watching the bonus content from Almost Famous. Cameron Crowe would make mixtapes in this same fashion. The effect is not only regaining a coherent time-line for music, but also attaching and re-living memories to songs.

    Hope this helps,

    Thadd

    Thaddeus-
    This sounds great and well, more engaging. Any chance the internets will see these lists?

    Hah, I like how your solution to all middling albums ever is to re-sequence them. You should start like an album upload site except with all the tracks to each album re-sequenced to perfection. Just to fuck around with anyone that downloads it.

    Quan-
    Ha, yeah....
    That's the thing though, just create some sense of an arc to your album and it works, well enough. It's like making a mix CD. NOT THAT HARD.

    The Willie Isz needs like two more rap tracks and all the non-rap stuff would be fine. As it is, it's a good but not great album.

    I think as far as I'll ever take my ipod/itunes endeavors will be allowing people to look at what I'm listening to through AIM. Not that I'm embarrassed, but I know that some of my musical choices weird/freak people out, like they don't even make sense to me sometimes.
