Musical Tragedy

So today to my utter suprise and misery I returned home from Christmas shopping to find almost my entire library of music wiped clean from my hard drive. And even though I did not have a big collection I have some rare musical gems that are very difficult to find 'free of charge' online. Hence, my utter dismay at loosing such a fine collection to an unknown catastrophe between yesterday and today.

Now let me give you some examples of songs that are difficult to find and download for free. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place but I was having no end of problems getting ahold of these (title - artist): C'est la Vie - Jean Michal Jarre and Natacha Atlas, Eat You Up - BoA, California - Sarah Sleen, Tokyo 3000 - Joshua Cunningham, Gate of Eden - Adam Dinger, Touch Her Heart - Reconceal.

No part of the difficulty is a lack of music downloader but I find many of these songs just aren't on programs like limewire anyway since they are not mainstream enough. I can find them on youtube which raises the question of if there is a way to convert youtube files to music. Perhaps I will search for that right now after posting this blog.

And just so you know I listen to other more 'normal' music too I just like a lot of different music especially for inspiration to write. For example, every tried downloading movie trailer music as inspiration for writing a battle scene. I recomend some of the stuff by X-ray Dog myself. Also the battle scores from movies like [i]Chronicles of Narnia[/i] and perhaps something like the Imperial March from [i]Starwars[/i]. Anyway, I find myself enjoying everything from country such as Big and Rich and Taylor Swift to Linkin Park to Guns and Roses and Led Zepplin to Mozart and also much of the above Trance I already listed. Does that make me crazy? I like to think of myself more as a musical connoisseur. Anywho if your interested I posted the videos of two of the movies I like below that you can check out if your interested.
