Well, here I go buying CDs again. You know, I’ve still never ever bought mp3s? I always get the feeling that if I do I’ll somehow get screwed over when I can’t go and grab the original physical CD to re-rip the music from later.
What the fuck am I talking about… I’ve bought hours and hours of classical music mp3s from eClassical.
Never mind.
That actually reminds me, I need to get some of that fine funky classical music onto my iPod. I like chamber music the best… when you can hear each individual instrument play one part. Kind of like a rock band, but instead of a guitarist, a keyboardist, a bass player and a drummer, you have a violinist, a violist, a cellist and a double bassist.
Almost.
But that’s the kind of simple, down-to-basics stuff I like. I’m not much of a fan of big orchestras playing symphonic music. And fuck opera.
I don’t mean the browser, but I can’t really say I have a very high opinion of it. I remember when you had to either pay for it or get fed ads to use it. And for all I know, it’s still like that.
Correct me if I’m wrong.
And I tried out the Opera Mini browser on my Android phone. It didn’t work. I’m not talking it didn’t render pages right, it didn’t fucking work at all.
What was I talking about? Sorry, I had a really rough week.
I’m buying some more Camel music.
I’m buying their first album again because the remastered version contains a live version of a very long song that was on a Peter Bardens solo album. I’m also buying a “Live in 1972” CD and a “Live in 1982” CD, probably just so I can tell the difference between vitality and caricature.
And I’m also getting the album “Stationary Traveller” and a live DVD from the 1984 tour. Why? I’ve heard parts of “Stationary Traveller”, and it’s not all bad. Not the best thing Andrew Latimer has done, but it’s better than a lot of other stuff recorded in 1984.
And that’s why I said I’m spending my money on frivolous things again. I can’t help it. I’m a music junkie.
But if I ever start to dress and look like Mozart, like Elton John is doing up there, please make me stop.
