i wiped my ipod last week. it is locking up on my computer and i needed to see if resetting it helped. (it didn't.)

wiping it was a painful process; it took me several days to find a program to help backup (into a text file) some of my playlists and such. the entire thing was a bit messy.

but it was cleaned off. i'm now in the process of 'rebuilding' it, along with my entire music collection. i need a solid sat afternoon to sit down and triple-check tags and such. my music collection is too huge.

but it was interesting to note what bands/albums i moved over to this newly cleaned ipod. what music i thought i would want in a generic sense.

the orb.
future sound of london.
guns n roses.
ballboy.
meat beat manifesto.
james lavelle.
soul coughing.
underworld.
u2 (achtung baby, unforgettable fire and under a blood red sky).

i think that was about it. i did go back and add some pwei; i found myself wanting to hear 'harry dean stanton' and not having it.

i just made a new 'top 25′ playlist to see what i really have been listening to.
turns out that stanton warriors fabrliclive cd is rocking my top 25 — because ive listened to it 3 times in the last week. a ballboy track is there, along with 'soul driver' by meat beat manifesto.

all this is weird, because my top 25 list on the old ipod was much more stable — 'jal to toyko' by underworld ruled.

oh and here is the link to another album you should listen to — the trip by jarvis cocker and steve mackey. the complete opposite of the stanton warriors. oh and just buy the damn ballboy album already.

so what's in your top played lists on your ipod (or itunes. or winamp. or whatever)? and what music would be the first to be thrown back on a new ipod?
