recently lost all the music on my ipod as a result of the database file becoming corrupt when i unplugged without ejecting. this turned out to be a good thing. i had to waste hours of time (when i should have been studying for a condensed matter final) reloading the ipod, but i got to leave out a lot of crap to which i don't listen anymore.

it also gave me lots of time to listen to stuff i had not yet heard/did not expect to really like. some of the most enjoyable bits were

the new thom yorke (it was cloudy outside)

the new junior boys (thought i had outgrown these guys - i was wrong)

the old cocteau twins (track)

(search for samples of first two with elbo.ws.)

also, i'm still really in to jean-michel jarre's zoolook. it's the only thing i've heard by him. where do i go next?
