Four and Five stars
I like my share of techo / electronica. Not a massive fan but I like a fair amount of what I’ve been exposed to. If I had to pick a favorite I’d say Fatboy Slim. I’m a pretty big fan of a lot of 60′s music as well. Used to be an insane freak for [...]
Four and Five stars
So in my collection of over 35,000 songs I have managed to rate almost 30% of them so far in iTunes using the 1-5 star scale. I try to do a few more each day when I can. Out of the 10,000 or so that I’ve rated, I’ve got over 2,400 that I would classify [...]
