The iphone-to-car-stereo is both wonderful and disappointing. Wonderful because it's so nice to have access to so many tunes without having to burn CDs for the car. Disappointing because yes, MP3s really do sound That Bad. I was hoping the difference wouldn't be so terribly noticeable, but it is, oh yes, it surely is. So I'm still in search of a permanent solution--as if there is anything of the sort to be had when it comes to audio technology.
I stayed up until 7am doing our taxes, and now I'm tagging more music with the album art before converting it to MP3s. This is a fun way to touch every single song in my library at least briefly. Random observations include:
*The cover for Ice-T's Power is still hilarious and confounding... I mean, what is he trying to say, REALLY?
*Also, I have a bunch of music that I've never listened to. That's when you know a collection is getting out of hand. I just now discovered that Lloyd Cole made a whole album (at least) of electronica. Which is something I never would have anticipated. A whole Lloyd Cole album without Lloyd Cole's voice? What?
*I have a huge assortment of 80's music compilations. Sometimes compilations are the only way to get that one-hit wonder you simply must have (if you don't download compressed music, that is.) Along the way I have acquired multiple copies of songs I really didn't need. It's interesting to see them all stacked up by song name.
*Strafe's Set It Off is still my desert island dance floor single. Nothing compares.
*Also: Housequake.
