One interesting thing about ripping my CDs is realizing just how much music I have. I’d never thought about it much till I just happened to look at iTunes and noticed that so far I have ripped 1134 songs, with a duration of 3.3 days. Over three days of continuous music, and that’s maybe 1/3rd of my current CD collection. On the other hand it means that shuffle play does tend to give me lots of interesting random stuff.

Today’s rips:

• Orbital – InSides
• The Orb – The Orb’s Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld (2CD set)
• Opus III – Mind Fruit
• Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark – Best of OMD
• Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark – Liberator
• Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark – Pacific
• Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark – Crush
• Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark – Junk Culture
• Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark – Architecture & Morality
• Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark – Dazzle Ships
• One Dove – Morning Dove White

Can you tell I like OMD? I remember first hearing them back during my freshman year of high school and picking up Architecture & Morality on vinyl (I still have it somewhere). Joan of Arc was probably one of my favorite tracks on that. They’ve been a favorite ever since. Oh, and the One Dove CD is one of my favorite CDs of all time. If I was stranded on a desert island, it would be one I’d want with me.
