iPod Makeover this weekend! Need your recommendations!
OK so it's time for a long overdue revamping of the musical selection on the iPod currently. I have a 60 gig unit, so I'm sure some of the standard stuff that's on there will remain. But I want to wipe it clean and start from scratch. And I'm looking for YOUR recommendations of things to add. Whether it's new and on the charts, or old and needs to be dusted off, tell me what it is and why it should be added. A special prize to all who post comments (as long as you include your email address)!
Thanks for your assistance!

Jason,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the recommendations. I definitely have a flac to mp3 converter (my first portable mp3 player was a Rio Karma, which actually played flac files!), so if you have links to any of these, they would be greatly appreciated! A few of these are on my wish list already, but a few are quite compelling! Thanks again!
Biebs

ReplyDeleteIts 12/16/91 from the spectrum
12.16.91 -- Philadelphia Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA
opening act: Soundgarden
set: It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, You Could Be Mine, Live And Let Die, Attitude, Bad Obsession, Double Talkin' Jive, Civil War, Wild Horses [Intro] / Patience, Nightrain, Don't Cry, Move To The City, Piano Solo, November Rain, Welcome To The Jungle, Drum Solo, Guitar Solo, Godfather Theme, Sail Away Sweet Sister / Bad Time [Intro] / Sweet Child O' Mine, Rocket Queen [w/ It Tastes Good, Don't It?], Only Women Bleed [Intro] / Knockin' On Heaven' s Door, Estranged, Mother [Intro] / Paradise City
audio/video recording?: audio, video
notes: 'You Could Be Mine' is played unusually early in the set. Axl asks the crowd if they're surprised to see GN'R back in Philly so soon. Axl says that if he never moved to LA he would be working in a factory back home in Indiana. Axl recounts the story behind 'Don't Cry' before they play it. He also says how a critic said that the song is not real GN'R, even though in reality it was the first song ever written in the band! Axl mentions that Duff is almost done with his solo album and it will be released within a year. Axl wears a Santa Claus hat during 'Estranged.' The show ends at around 2:10 in the morning!
