I had to move all my media (photos, music, etc) off my old PC prior to installing Linux on it otherwise it would have been erased. I copied it all onto an external hard drive that I’ve connected to my Macbook. I know that’s not terribly earth shattering but hang on cause I’m getting to the good part.

The PC has been neglected since I bought the Macbook in November of last year. Even more so since the move, it was two months before I even hooked it up. It wasn’t a big deal because I can do everything I need to on the Macbook. What do I need to do? Surf the internet, download and play music, and upload my digital photos. However, I’d done those things a lot on my PC prior to the neglect.

I therefore had an abundance of media to move, specifically over 70GB of music which translates to 12,000+ songs from over 1,300 artists. That brings me to the point of this post, the rediscovery of my old digital music collection. It’s like finding a long lost friend. My Macbook has all the music I’ve downloaded over the past year, which is predominantly current stuff, but now I get to listen to albums that I haven’t heard in forever and it’s awesome!

Here’s a sample:

Devo - Freedom of Choice
That album still totally kicks @ss!

My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult - Cuz It’s Hot
Ahh, Numbers was a wonderful place during my formative years.

Metallica - Metallica
Possibly the best rock album of the 90’s.

Brian Eno - Vocal Box (Disc 1)
Arty glam rock that influenced pretty much every band I listened to in the 80’s.

Pixies - Surfer Rosa
Their finest, period. BTW, the new Black Francis is excellent.

The KLF - White Room
Sound the klaxon and get out the glow sticks.

Johnny Cash - The Essential (Disc 1)
The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road. Indeed!
