I lost my music Hard Drive once in my life. It was extremely sad, I had some of the stuff on cd’s, but it wasn’t everything. So every once and awhile I will look for an album or an artist and they won’t be there, and it will make me sad. Well, I just go on iTunes and hope that they are on there and buy the CD.

So just now, I was thinking about the artist μ-Ziq, before today I had known nothing about him. Well either way thats not the point, I had some μ-Ziq in my iTunes, And I was very happy about that. Then I though, What is the oldest song in my iTunes library. Well thats what you see above. That is probably around the time that I lost my Hard Drive and was downloading music off of mp3 sites. The first four songs added to my iTunes were:
“Like Humans Do (radio edit)” By David Byrne, Added on 9/16/2006 5:20 PM
“Yours to Keep (Featuring Neneh Cherry)” By Teddybears, Added on 9/16/2006 5:21 PM
“She Can Do What She Wants” By Field Music, Added on 9/28/2006 11:22 AM
“Robo” By How I Became The Bomb, Added on 9/28/2006 11:22AM

Out of those four Bands, I only really listen to How I Became The Bomb. On 11/18/2006 is when I started to add music from my collection.

Update: “She Can Do What She Wants” By Field Music is actually “Kneel Before Zod” – How I Became The Bomb.

I love seeing what songs I listened to the most at the end of the year. I am happy that the Julian Casablanca’s song made it to the top5. It is one of my favorite songs for sure.

02. The xx – Islands
03. Cale Parks – Running Family
