That's what I ended up doing with my iMac G3. Just remember to change the location of your iTunes library (in iTunes Preferences) when you add the external drive, or you'll end up with music scattered all over the place.miss buenos aires wrote:It's 30 GB, so far I've used about 3 on music. Will probably end up buying an external hard drive at some point, but I'm waiting until I actually run out of room.

That sounds like something I'll be getting someone else to do...Who Shot Sam? wrote:That's what I ended up doing with my iMac G3.

I'd definitely have a listen to Grand Prix - esp Mellow Doubt, which is an absolute classic.....mind you, the whole album is a classic.selfmademug wrote:I think I mentioned this, but I was utterly ga-ga over Bandwagonesque when it came out, then checked back in with Songs From Northern Britain and was underwhelmed. Where did I go wrong?? What should I get next?Jackson Monk wrote:
Good to come across another TFC fan. The new album's worth a listen too WSS.

Only £9.99 in the shop too, and you get a CD and some nice little essays too.Who Shot Sam? wrote:Teenage Fanclub - Four Thousand Seven Hundred And Sixty-Six Seconds (Compilation)
Only 9.99 on iTunes for 21 songs and it's all great stuff.
With regard to comments about 'Songs From Northern Britian' I'm amazed anyone could listen to that and not be fussed. The only TFC album I've ever really been disappointed by was 'Howdy!'

Don't care how good it is. Chris Martin is a pseudo-intellectual wanker....so there.Gillibeanz wrote:Been listening to my sons new album by Coldplay - 'X and Y'. Its pretty good! I know a lot of you on here are not fans but you should give it a go!
and his dopey wife is a total bint and about as bland as Coldplay's music.
everyone to their own though

I must say I find myself succumbing to Anti-Coldplay Backlash, i.e., I'm so sick of the bashing, I kind of like them. It's just pretty pop, fer chrissakes.
This culminated in the jerk-off piece in the NYT last week by Jon Pareles, "The Case Against Coldplay," in which he calls them the most insufferable band of the decade. Oh, come on. Martin may indeed be a pseudo-intellectual-- I suspect we're spared his offstage persona here more than y'all in the UK-- but he's hardly alone in that in the world of pop, and I think Pareles is a yawn-inducing blowhard. Stick a fork in him, guys... the NYT deserves way better.
In any case, I think there are greater crimes against music than the onslaught of "Clocks" as background music to seemingly everything on TV. Sure it's overplayed and nothing new, but so is some other great pop I've loved over the years. Coldplay has lots of company in the middle of the road, they always will.

J. Geils Band "Whammer Jammer" from Live "Full House"
Brings back old drinking memories...and the first (and only) concert I took my kid sister to see when she was fighting with the parents and I was trying to 'relate' to her...you know....be "hip". J Geils, Charlie Daniels, and Johnny Winter was the ticket, I crap you negative.
Headliner was Charlie Daniels, I am sad to say, but we left shortly after his opening number when someone threw an M-80 from the arena seats to the floor where we were standing and it nearly blew off the left ear of the guy standing to my immediate left. I grabbed my sister and we scurried out.
Rock and Roll.

Jennifer Love Hewitt's "How Do I Deal?" Many don't know that in addition to singing she also acts. She is a true Renaissance Man.
I had the pleasure of meeting Love in my local supermarket. She was counting her items and was distressed to find that she had sixteen items--one too many to qualify for the express lane. I helped with the recount (drawing close enough to detect the delicious Juicy-Fruit-like scent of her skin!) and came up with fourteen items, so she joyfully joined the line and I felt like a hero.
A sour note was introduced when the cashier claimed she had twenty items. That cashier has a slight crush on me but if she thought that embarrassing me in front of J-Love was the way to my heart she was barking up the wrong alley. To say that Love took all of this in good part is an understatement. I can still hear her girlish laughter as it rang out in the cavernous Safeway that immortal day.

Laura Cantrells set on WFMU yesterday. Nice, easy listening on a sunny Dublin sunday morning, recovering from being up close and personal at the incredible U2 show last night.
