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.

SWEET! Thank you for all you're doing, you are creating lots of good karma for yourself. Yis.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I have pillaged. You are awesome. T'anks!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I love the Guillemots, yis! Thank you for them. Anything else you want to toss my way is most welcome :)

[septembergurl.livejournal.com]

Singer/songwriters, indie and americana here (http://www.sendspace.com/file/94lm2i).

[aidenfire]

Not sure if there will be anything here you like, but about 500mb of songs you're free to download here. That sucks so bad! itunes ate about 700 of my songs once--not the same degree by any means but still a big blow. :(

YAYYYYY KARMA!!!

This deserved its very own lolcat:

[brandil.livejournal.com]

Sending you the twentysomething soundtrack you compiled, a ton of Placebo and some random country all to your lj address.

[sprat.livejournal.com]

Ugh, that's awful. I've had the same thing happen to me, once -- an entire hard drive ate itself -- so I can definitely sympathize.

I haven't got a lot of stuff online right now, but you're welcome to whatever I do have. I'll email you some links.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

I can offer a bunch of 80s stuff, Fiona Apple's entire catalogue, Garbage, punk classics (Ramones, Clash, Sex Pistols, and on and on), Joseph Arthur, Green Day, White Stripes, almost every song used in the first three seasons of The O.C. - actually, check out this tag (http://thepouncer.livejournal.com/tag/treble+and+bass) for the music mixes. Any artist who appears over a few mixes is likely one where I've got an entire album or a greatest hits collection I'd be glad to send your way.

If you'd like, I can burn DVDs with the files, and give them to SK when I see her this weekend for mailing?

[treelines.livejournal.com]

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.

[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.

[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.

[breeamal.livejournal.com]

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....

[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)

[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. :)

[lazulus]

Right, The Guillemots link was still active so that's no prob. Will look some more stuff out for you later. :)

[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).

Some stuff I already I have uploaded: Ryan Adams (http://oxoniensis-art.com/m2/nan_ra.zip), a compilation of stuff I like (http://oxoniensis-art.com/m2/nutkin_comp.zip), Patrick Wolf (http://oxoniensis-art.com/m2/lycan.zip), White Stripes (http://oxoniensis-art.com/ana/ws_ana.zip), Snow Patrol (http://oxoniensis-art.com/dolimir/dolimirsp.zip), Explosions in the Sky - Those Who Tell the Truth... (http://oxoniensis-art.com/aurora/tellthetruth.zip), Explosions in the Sky - How Strange, Innocence (http://oxoniensis-art.com/aurora/howstrange.zip), The Killers - Hot Fuss (http://oxoniensis-art.com/meghan/hotfuss.zip) and there are assorted songs in this folder (http://oxoniensis-art.com/zbday/).

JESUS CHRIST! *yelps*

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

[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.

[callmesandy.livejournal.com]

And updated same place again today, just to note in passing - 4 leonard cohen, 1 dilated peoples, 1 ryan adams, a few other random things. :)

I just know I'd still be crying if that happened to me, and I've really appreciated the music you've posted in the past.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I came, I saw, I pillaged. Thanks!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Again, thank you so much!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you for all your help!
