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

iTunes Top 100 Artists: #72-80

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 72-80, which includes a few comedians along with the usual favorites.

#72: Smash Mouth

iTunes stats: 33 plays

4 songs make up this total for the band from northern California.

#72: The Strokes

iTunes stats: 33 plays

The alternative band from New York makes the list thanks to 5 songs, including one mash-up with Christina Aguilera.

#74: The Rolling Stones

iTunes stats: 32 plays

The boys from Britain use 9 different tunes to make up this total.

#74: Warrant

iTunes stats: 32 plays

The hair band superstars use 6 different songs to make the list.

#76: Fiona Apple

iTunes stats: 31 plays

The first appearance by someone I have seen perform live, Apple makes the list thanks to 5 different songs.

#76: The Crystal Method

iTunes stats: 31 plays

The theme from Bones places the Crystal Method this high all by its lonesome.

Mix Tape Monday – Live Tracks

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.

In addition to the occasional series of CDs I had burned in order to keep abreast of new music, I had created a bunch of genre-specific mixes that could be used both in the car and at the gym. This week we will take a look at the first disc covering the world of live music. One of the best things about the confluence of music and the internet in the early 21st century was the availability of bootleg live performances that, at one time, would have been available only to serious collectors or the lucky few to attend the concerts. In fact, there was so much of it that this was the only collection to go beyond 2 discs. So, without further ado, I bring you Live Music, volume 1.

Tesla – Signs

Tesla’s biggest hit was this acoustic cover of the Five Man Electrical Band hit from 1971.

iTunes stats: 4 plays, most recently on 5/4/2011

Juliana Hatfield – Say It Ain’t So

This bootleg track has the indie darling covering the hit from Weezer’s debut album.

iTunes stats: Never played

Pearl Jam – My Way

This quirky cover of the Frank Sinatra standard came from a concert in (where else) Las Vegas.

iTunes stats: 5 plays, most recently on 9/6/2011

Veruca Salt – Seether

A live version of Veruca Salt’s biggest hit.

iTunes stats: Never played

Travis – Baby One More Time

The Scottish band, who I likely would have never heard from otherwise, covered the Britney Spears hit during a concert at The Bay Tavern in Robin Hood’s Bay, North Yorkshire, England.

iTunes stats: 13 plays, most recently on 11/27/2012

Def Leppard – Two Steps Behind

From a foreign version of their greatest hits package, recorded live in Sheffield on June 6, 1993.

iTunes stats: 4 plays, most recently on 5/1/2011

K’s Choice – Not An Addict

Recorded live at the 2001 Rock am Ring festival at the Nürburgring racetrack in Germany.

iTunes stats: Never played

Garbage – When I Grow Up

I’m assuming the live version on this disc is from the 2005 show at Metro that I attended. The only reason I’m not sure is that I have so many Garbage bootlegs, it’s hard to be sure.

iTunes stats: 6 plays, most recently on 1/6/2011

Stone Temple Pilots – Dancing Days

An acoustic version of their Led Zepplin cover, which I think may be from the Howard Stern show.

iTunes stats: Never played

Mix Tape Monday – Undated

From what I can tell, this undated CD was from the lost year of 2004. In addition to songs that were released in 2004, we also have an ode to former White Sox infielder Willie Harris, which I believe was popular at the ballpark back in 04.

The Muffs – Everywhere I Go

You may recognize this song from a popular Fruitopia commercial.

iTunes stats: 10 plays, most recently on 5/11/2012

J. J. Abrams – Alias theme

This is currently my ring tone for people I work with.

iTunes stats: 10 plays, most recently on 8/21/2012

Avril Lavigne – Don’t Tell Me

The first single from Lavigne’s second album.

iTunes stats: 1 plays, on 8/8/2008

Green Day – American Idiot

Nominated for 4 Grammys, this was Green Day’s first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

iTunes stats: 12 plays, most recently on 1/11/2013

Avril Lavigne – My Happy Ending

The second single from Lavigne’s second album.

iTunes stats: 5 plays, most recently on 8/27/2009

Ashlee Simpson – Pieces Of Me

The debut single from Jessica’s little sister.

iTunes stats: 6 plays, most recently on 9/16/2012

Sweet – Little Willy

The 1972 hit was reintroduced to White Sox fans whenever Willie Harris would do something worthwhile/

iTunes stats: 6 plays, most recently on 11/9/2012

K’s Choice – Something’s Wrong

An album track from K’s Choice’s second album.

iTunes stats: 5 plays, most recently on 1/2/2013

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!

Gordon Beckham Intro			91
Let’s Go-Go-Go White Sox	Captain Stubby and the Buccaneers		87
Thunderstruck	AC/DC	The Razors Edge	84

No surprise that the top 10 are all part of (or were part of) my White Sox victory playlist. This gets played on the way home from every White Sox winner, plus the occassional ride to a game. Continue reading →
