My advice for anyone attempting to work from home is to get to know your iTunes, intimately. Maybe get to know is the wrong word, as surely you know your music library, but I gaurantee you there are bits and pieces of that library that will surprise even you. I've taken to creating folders for music that I like as I listen to it... so far there are only two: sad songs and electronica. Both folders will eventually be compilations once they've accumulated enough odds and ends. A word of caution: DO NOT SURF AMAZON AT HOME!!! If you thought that Amazon was a nice distraction while you waste your day at the office, well kiddies, at home, its down right dangerous. As a matter of fact, set it up as an untrusted site, disable your one-click, block in a host file or at the router. Just don't do it, seriously. Sure, you may think that you have to have those 10 new CDs as every single piece of music in your 80 gig baracuda hard drive is totally old, boring and been played a million times, but honestly, is that the case? Have a come-to-jesus moment with your iTunes library and say to yourself, yes, this is good, and make it so. And then order from CD Baby instead!!!
Noteworthy picks from the library for today:
Chicago Sound Track - Cell Block Tango - just a fantastic piece of musical writing...
My Elastic Eye - Chemical Brothers - kinda spooky, like robert plant with a 303
Vibratonik - Moodswings - oddly haunting
My Drug Buddy - Evan Dando & Juliana Hatfield - bloody good songwriting!
