As part of my on-going crusade to demonstrate the utter lameness of who I am, I proudly present new research: iPod stats!
I recently decided to do a quick survey of my iPod to ascertain which bands/artists take up the most real estate on ye olde hard drive. Here then are those findings, arbitrarily starting with the bands that had at least 7 hours worth of music and going up from there. Half-assed analysis will follow:
Radiohead: 104 tracks = 7.2 hours
Johnny Cash: 155 tracks = 7.8 hours
Kanye West: 155 tracks = 7.8 hours
Stavesacre: 111 tracks = 8.1 hours
U2: 121 tracks = 9.1 hours
Foo Fighters: 156 tracks = 10.6 hours
MxPx: 247 tracks = 10.6 hours
Beastie Boys: 210 tracks = 10.7 hours
Queens Of The Stone Age: 156 tracks = 10.9 hours
The Beatles: 329 tracks = 14.8 hours
UNKLE: 177 tracks = 22.4 hours
And there you have it. Cash and Kanye tied with exactly the same time length and number of tracks? How bizarre. I was shocked at how much UNKLE music I have. Granted the number of UNKLE tracks pales in comparison to The Beatles, MxPx, or Beastie Boys…but having those long mixtapes helps your cause I suppose. The other thing about the Beatles total is that that doesn’t even represent all of the music of theirs that I own. That’s simply what I’ve loaded on the iPod so far. Maybe a recount will be in order soon.
I am also surprised by how much U2 music I actually have. Not that I despise the boys from Ireland, I just don’t consider myself a fanboy on the level of say, a Jonathan Martin or a Nathan Rouse.
Finally, it’s also revealing to see which bands didn’t make my random cut-off mark of 7 hours. Among others, Bleach, Further Seems Forever, The Mars Volta, Thrice, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Sunny Day Real Estate, Project 86, Switchfoot, Oasis, P.O.D., Deftones, Led Zeppelin didn’t make the cut. Granted, if I had the earlier albums of P.O.D. and a couple of albums that I’m missing from Oasis and Led Zeppelin, all three would have been on the list. I have most of the discography of the other bands, but I guess their lower numbers are due to lower overall output.
And there you have it. Thank you for allowing me to waste your day with musical drivel. It’s sorta like watching the VMAs, only I don’t moan and bitch like Kanye and I’m not wearing a sloppy two-piece like Britney. Aren’t you glad?
All i want is the sloppy two-piece, you tease.
Good grief. Now, there’s an image I won’t forget in a hurry, and not for want of trying.
Nyargh.
Ick.
I feel strangely violated…
