A little more than a week ago, I upgraded my phone from the iPhone 4S to the newly released iPhone 5S. The biggest difference, aside from a slightly bigger screen, is the jump from 3G (or 4G, if you believe AT&T’s hype) to LTE. I had the 4S for a little under 2 years, and in that time, we traveled the world together (well, at least going back to the UK) and have listened to a lot of podcasts and music. Here is every song (all 2079 of them) I’ve listened to on the phone, with some (ok, very little) bonus commentary. Godspeed.

Let’s Go-Go-Go White Sox	Captain Stubby and the Buccaneers		33
He’s a Pirate	Klaus Badelt	Pirates of the Caribbean (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture)	32
Take Me Out To The Ballgame	Harry Caray		31
Thunderstruck	AC/DC	The Razors Edge	31
Gordon Beckham Intro			29
Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye	Steam	Billboard’s Top Rock ‘n’ Roll Hits: 1969	29
Don’t Stop Believin’	Journey	Journey’s Greatest Hits	27
sox05_montage			27
We Are The Champions	Queen	Queen: Greatest Hits I & II	27
Your Love	The Outfield	Play Deep	27
2008 White Sox Central Division Champs Montage	Chris Tannehill	WSCR 670 The Score	25
Take Me Out To The Ballgame	Nancy Faust		25
Harvester Of Sorrow	Metallica	…And Justice For All	20

You would hope that these numbers would have been higher, but this past season’s miserable performance by the White Sox has put the songs on their playlist out of mind more often than not.

Cannonball	The Breeders	The First 1000 Years- Rock	19
Man Or Muppet	Jason Segel	The Muppets	15
It’s Time For Our Song	Miss Piggy	The Muppets	14
Get Out There And Help Those Guys	Jason Segel	The Muppets	13
Main Title	LOST Soundtrack	LOST Soundtrack	13
Are You A Man Or A Muppet?	Amy Adams	The Muppets	12
How Charming, A Finale	Uncle Deadly	The Muppets	12
I’m On A Boat (ft. T-Pain)	The Lonely Island	Incredibad	12
Down At The Ole Barbershop	Kermit	The Muppets	11
Me and Drugs	David Cross	Bigger and Blackerer	11
The Antichrist	Howard Stern	Private Parts: The Album	11

4 Comments

My latest desktop computer arrived in late 2007, at which point I transitioned all of my music off of my laptop. 2 iPods, 2 iPhones, and an iPad later, that computer is still my main repository of music, with iTunes updating its stats every time I listen to something.

Having already gone through cassette tapes and CDs, and digital music, it’s time to roll everything up with the Top 100 artists that I’ve listened to as of 8/21/2013, according to iTunes. Today we look at the the the next batch, numbers 62-70, which includes a few actors that appeared on a certain soundtrack.

#62: Amy Adams

iTunes stats: 39 plays

The amazing actress makes the list thanks to her work on the soundtrack to The Muppets.

#63: Gin Blossoms

iTunes stats: 38 plays

The Tempe, AZ band makes the list thanks to 5 different tunes, mostly from their debut album.

#63: Jason Segel

iTunes stats: 38 plays

Another Hollywood type makes the list thanks to The Muppets.

#63: Ludacris

iTunes stats: 38 plays

The Atlanta-based rapper uses three songs, each with over 10 plays, to make up his total.

#66: Bell Biv DeVoe

iTunes stats: 37 plays

The former members of New Edition went off on their own and used 3 songs to make it to this position on the list.

Mix Tape Monday – December 2001

After my tape deck crapped out in 1997, I was stuck listening to either the radio or full albums in whatever order the artist intended. That all changed in 2001, when the new-fangled MP3 technology got combined with my new CD burner.

This is the first CD I burned in a post 9/11 world, and some of the songs on here were affected by the events of that fateful day. This edition included new hits from Ozzy Osbourne, Bush, No Doubt, Pink, and Britney Spears.

Ozzy Osbourne – Gets Me Through

A few short months before the reality show that would change the world’s perception of him, Ozzy released this first track from his new album.

iTunes stats: 5 plays, most recently on 3/29/2012

Bad Religion – Infected

I saw Bad Religion opening for Pearl Jam at Soldier Field back in 1995.

iTunes stats: 8 plays, most recently on 11/7/2012

Bush – Speed Kills

The comback attempt by Bush was retitled The People That We Love following 9/11, since the original title was deemed inappropriate.

iTunes stats: 3 plays, most recently on 8/29/2011

Garbage – Shut Your Mouth

The third release from Garbage’s third release.

iTunes stats: 10 plays, most recently on 8/10/2012

Blondie – One Way Or Another

The new wave hit from 1979 was used as the theme song for the television show Snoops.

iTunes stats: 2 plays, most recently on 6/21/2010

Remy Zero – Somebody Save Me

The theme song from Smallville is likely the only Remy Zero song anyone knows.

iTunes stats: 5 plays, most recently on 8/1/2012

Atomic Kitten – Eternal Flame

The British girl group had a minor hit with this cover of the Bangles classic.

iTunes stats: 2 plays, most recently on 11/18/2012

Sixpence None The Richer – Kiss Me

The first hit from the band from Nashville via Texas.

iTunes stats: 6 plays, most recently on 11/17/2012

The Strokes – Last Night

The debut album from The Strokes was slated to be released on the Tuesday after 9/11 with a song featuring the lyric “New York City Cops, they ain’t too smart.” The album was delayed and the song was removed from the American version of the album.

iTunes stats: 6 plays, most recently on 9/24/2012

Sublime – Date Rape

The hit that pushed the ska rockers out of LA and into the national consciousness.

iTunes stats: 5 plays, most recently on 9/17/2011

Mix Tape Monday – Volume 17

Between 1989, my sophomore year of high school, and 1995, my fourth year of college, I put together a nearly 20 volume collection of mix tapes, containing my favorite songs that I had gathered either from the radio, a cassette tape, or (eventually) CD. I thought it would be a fun exercise to look back at all 20 volumes and which of my “favorite” songs I still listen to today.

Volume 17 picks up in early 1995 and the second semester of my junior year and takes us into early summer. At this point, it is nearly all alternative, with just one hip-hop breakthrough.

Side A

Hole – Asking For It

The latest from Courtney Love and company was taped off the CD.

iTunes stats: 2 plays, most recently on 2/7/2011

Cranberries – Twenty One

The latest from the Irish lads and lass was taped off the CD.

iTunes stats: Never played

Veruca Salt – Number One Blind

The latest from Chicago’s indie darlings was taped off the CD.

iTunes stats: 7 plays, most recently on 5/1/2012

Stone Temple Pilots – Unglued

The latest from STP was taped off the CD.

iTunes stats: 9 plays, most recently on 8/19/2011

Pearl Jam – Better Man

The latest from the grunge superstars was taped off the CD.

iTunes stats: 4 plays, most recently on 5/19/2012

Nirvana – Where Did You Sleep Last Night

The posthumous unplugged hit for the Seattle rockers was taped off the CD.

iTunes stats: 2 plays, most recently on 4/23/2012

Weezer – No One Else

Weezer’s latest was taped off the CD.

iTunes stats: 7 plays, most recently on 5/23/2012

Offspring – What Happened To You?

The Offspring’s latest was taped off the CD.

iTunes stats: 8 plays, most recently on 3/31/2012

Goodbye, iPhone 3G – Music Edition

As I wait for tomorrow’s delivery of my new iPhone 4S, it is time to say goodbye to the 3G that has been my trusty companion for nearly the past 3 1/2 years. We’ve traveled the world together (well, at least Canada and the UK) and have listened to a lot of music. Here is every song (all 1597 of them) I’ve listened to on the phone, with some (ok, very little) bonus commentary!
