A lament for my iTunes--and a music meme!

lady_saraiMom and I were supposed to meet one of her friends at a restaurant that specializes in PIE. PIE, people.
But they are closed on Mondays. Woe! No pie for me!
And iTunes inexplicably decided to delete its library on me!!! I mean, I got the music back in there, as it was all still on my harddrive, but!!
I LOST MY ZILLION AND ONE AWESOME PLAYLISTS!!!! ::weeps:: And my broken iPod can't even help me. As it's broken.
AND I lost my Top 25 Most Played Songs list, wherein "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" had like a zillion plays and was *so* *close* to being knocked down to number 3 by "Ships" (we're talking like 2 more plays!) and "Ordinary Men Abound" was still sitting pretty at #1 where it's been for like YEARS. And I can't remember where the other ones were!
Right now my most played song is "Without Love" from Hairspray at2024 plays and "It's Hairspray" at #2 with 19--I have no idea why that one is #2. I blame James Marsden. ALL MY TOP 25 ARE HAIRSPRAY BECAUSE THAT'S ALL I COULD GET TO WORK FOR ABOUT TWO DAYS!
::weeps::
I have to rebuild playlists. I should do that.
...It even ate my "Smart" PLAYLISTS!!! O_O!! MY JOSH GROBAN! MY TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA! MY CHRISTMAS MUSIC! Okay, fine, I can rebuild these, but--OMG MY FRANKENMIX LISTS!!!! O_O ::faints:: ACK!! MY GREY'S ANATOMY PLAYLIST! THAT I UPDATED WITH THE EPISODES FOR I AM ANAL!
.....I clearly need a life less attached to my iTunes.
::facepalm:: Trying to make a "Smart Playlist" of my 80s music gave me 32 songs. Clearly I need to be better about entering complete info for the songs in my library, because when I took TEN HOURS to make my old 80s playlist, it had like 200 songs.
The more I think about it, the more playlists I find myself mourning over. I had a Helga/Salazar playlist I was hanging on to. And Lian's Girl Power mix. And Kon's Soul. Young Justice. OMG, my "Damn Papers Suck My Brains Out" list from college!! And my NaNo. And "Dissonance." GOOD LORD. At least![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zoe_chan has our "Love in the Electronic Age" playlist saved.
It is not so easy to make a playlist when your library has 2,639 songs in it. >_< What? I love me my music!!
On the theme of loving music, here is a meme!
Music is good. We all love music. Share the music love!
Reply to this post with a song recommendation; it can be a silly song, an obscure song, a favorite song or just a song you think I'll like. You can reply with just the title and artist information, or (if you really like me) you can upload the song to YouSendIt or MegaUpload and reply with the link! ;)
And of course, once you've commented, post this in your own journal and experience the joy and wonder that is new music!
Also--I will *totally* reciprocate. Last time I did this meme I wound up with some *very* funny songs, courtesy ofalphabet26. =D
...Actually, go ahead--Have a song. "Fett," by Postgirobygget. Yeah, it's Norwegian. I bought this cd in Norway simply because the store was playing this song when I was in there waiting for my aunt to meet me, and it was catchy and pretty and I love the lead singer's voice.
I have absolutely no clue what's being said, as I don't speak Norwegian except to be able to string together some sense in a conversation if the people talking are doing so slowly and clearly. ;) (The family reunion was *fun* that way. >_< Heh.)
But you should snag the song. Cause it's awesome. (I have the rest of the album, too, if you like it and want more. The whole thing is really good, even with the language barrier.) Also, yeah, I may be biased but I think that Norwegian is a really beautiful language to listen to, so here's your chance to hear some. ;)
(Also, I uploaded the "Arsenal" mini and the Batman-and-Arsenal issue forsecond_batgirl--if anyone else would like them, let me know, I'll link you.)

For your song meme...I recommend "My Dingaling" by Chuck Berry as a sure fire smile song. Here is a link

Could it be that my computer is telling me that making two picspam posts about a fictional comic book character was not the most productive way to spend the weekend?
...NO OF COURSE NOT! DON'T BE SILLY, SARA!
=D (Apologies. There was a 25 Funniest TV Moments special on tonight and now? Am giggly.)

Also--you should know that I saw the email for this comment notification and I squeaked and went "YAY KATE!" ♥
