Neville, how could you do me like this?

[hackthis_archive]

In what may be one of the most traumatic episodes EVER, last week I plugged in my iPod to charge the battery and it blue screened my computer. And then, when the computer rebooted and iTunes came back up, my pod started syncing up, only instead of syncing up, it synced down and proceeded to wipe itself clean. Yeah, you read that right. Two years, five computers and 5000 songs worth of work are all gone. And of course the Apple Geniuses were of no help, they basically said, "Yeah, your music is gone, no we don't know why, but your pod seems fine."

And it's not just the music -- although that REALLY smarts -- if you have a pod you know the time you take with it. You put in artwork and you make sure things are spelled right and capitalized and you create your own genres and playlists and you hug it and love it and call it George!

*sigh*

Like I said, there aren't any words, but if you've gotten music from me in oh, like EVER, or you have anything you think I'd like, I am asking you to help me out and put it in this post. Pop, rock, classical, old skool hip-hop, new wave, old wave, old classics, country, motown, jazz, blues, drinking songs, live songs, 420 songs, grunge, rap, comedy, britrock, britpop, kids songs, christmas songs, working out songs, 80s, 90s, 70s, covers, disco, you name it and chances are I would like it. I thank you in advance. I have to go take a Xanax.


ETA: To make life easier for you giving souls, you should know that I have 300+ CDs waiting to be loaded on my Pod, if I decide it's still trustworthy, so you don't have to give me whole albums of stuff, maybe just a zip with some of your favorite songs, that would totally be awesome too.

Here's (http://deviousli.livejournal.com/tag/music) my music tag, and there's still a fair amount of music that's active under that, and a meme that'll be constantly updated once I have time to upload the rest of the songs for those who commented.

I am so sorry that happened.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for your help!

[melodylemming.livejournal.com]

I've been turned on to a lot of things by your music posts in the past, so I'm happy to do what I can to help. Here (http://www.sendspace.com/file/m1jys0)'s a zip of some old favorites of mine, and if anything in particular pleases you, there's probably more where it came from.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the zip!

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

I have a ton of stuff I know you'd like/used to have, and some of it might even be uploaded (you can always check my music tag) - it's the middle of the night right now, but I'll sort some out tomorrow.

That's Terrible! I just had a nasty run in with the Apple Genius Bar today, useless. I've gotten some really great music from you in the past - it adds some wonderful randomness to shuffle. Is there anything you are looking for? I'm kinda in the weeds here about what to offer....

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Genius my eye! As for what I'm missing at this point: old school rap, 80s music, 90s bad pop, british stuff, motown, things like that.

[silverakira.livejournal.com]

God, that SUCKS, but I have so much stuff that I can give you (most of Gomez, almost all of Snow Patrol, Zero 7, Sia, others that I can't think of right now). I'm currently busy with homework, so here are the ones that I've just uploaded, and I promise that more is forthcoming. If there's anything you remember getting from me, I can throw those in too (I have a music tag (http://silverakira.livejournal.com/tag/music), if you feel like perusing those posts. [g])

All the Elbow I have. (http://linkanon.com/?r=http://www.sendspace.com/file/d4u3pu)
Talib Kweli - Quality (http://linkanon.com/?r=http://www.sendspace.com/file/gnkeoy)
Miscellaneous tracks that I'm pretty sure I got from you. (http://linkanon.com/?r=http://www.sendspace.com/file/litrwk)

Talib! Talib! Thank you :)

[alastairs-piano.livejournal.com]

Eek. Well, sheeit. Get Set Go - I Hate Everyone (http://www.sendspace.com/file/zlzrsl)

I think this was from you. Regardless, it's a pretty good song for the 'WOW LIFE SUCKS' moments. :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yes, quite! Thank you :)

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

Three zips sendspace might have emailed you earlier (though I never quite trust them to do so): Kanye West - Graduation (http://www.sendspace.com/file/rnqfig), misc A-F (http://www.sendspace.com/file/5lt1ss), misc G-L (http://www.sendspace.com/file/b1gq50).

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhh, the new Kanye... Thank you for all of this!

[redfirecracker.livejournal.com]

JESUS CHRIST! *yelps*

I'll give you the contents of my ipod if you walk me through how to zip them and upload them.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I don't know how to get the stuff *off*, darlin' just on. I know there's software for stuff like that though, but I don't have any I'd recommend. Thank you for thinking of me :)

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

It's not much, but I posted some random music for people on Friday if they were interested - http://storydivagirl.livejournal.com/293702.html. I'll see what I've got when I get home too. I can't imagine losing all my musics/vids.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[raucousraven.livejournal.com]

I have a few things you sent us all, once upon a time -- here's one of them:

Sand In My Shoes (http://www.sendspace.com/file/inuikt).

I'll try to send along a few more things in a bit. Hope this helps assuage the trauma somewhat.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you so very much, this does indeed assauge a lot of the trauma :)

[gene-lee.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I'm always the last one to the party.... Here's my charitable assortment. It's an odd mix with some obvious classics, but I couldn't help pimping Kings of Leon. They're one of my favorite groups; imagine a band of brothers on stage, wearing tight black skinny jeans their mother sews for them and you get one of the reasons why they're so awesome. Enjoy. *g*

Thank you so very much for putting this together for me!

[blueandomlettes.livejournal.com]

that royally sucks dude, so as tahnks for all the stories/songs/whatevers I've enjoyed for the past few years I went ahead and made this lil zip file for you, just a random sampling of songs I really like, some are singles some aren't, I think they are all good. hope you like. If you want more by any artist you see let me know. I'll prolly make you another one from the other half of my music library in the next day or so.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I opened your zip and it was like oh. Oh DUDE! There were all these singles that I'd thought were gone forevah! 'Gossip Folks!' 'Proud Mary!' 'Konichiwa Bitches!' Thank you so much for this :)

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

Aw, doll! That's terrible. I'm so sorry. I don't have much in the way of music to offer. But I did want to say: you poor bunny!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You just focus on getting better, don't worry about me, I have Nathan to comfort me. ;)
