So I’ve slowly but surely ripping all my cd’s. I still have a few hundred to go. I am sometimes quite surprised by the stuff I find. One band I found that I like that you probably haven’t heard of is Red Delicious. They sound like the band Garbage, sort of, but I like them better. More melodic and much less over produced sounding. I never really liked Garbage.
Red Delicious is sort of a melodic Pop band, with catchy hooks and they just sound great. I have the CDs Acoustical Blur (can’t find any info on this one) and Emotional Blur. I think I bought them off of mp3.com a few years ago back when mp3.com was some sort of indie band dot bomb. I don’t think it’s the same company operating mp3.com now.
Red Delicious has a new cd called Addictions and Scars, but I haven’t heard much off it. I’ll probably pick it up though. More info here and here. There is a video or two on red-delicious.com and I think you can listen to the tracks there too.
B. just shouted at me from the other room, “I like this music! Where did you find out about them?” Well, there you have it. Chicks dig them.
BTW, I’m using Windows Media Player and ripping all the cds in WMA lossless format. Through my system the cd’s sound phenomenal and having them all on my computer is worth the price of admission. My computer has a big fat RAID array on it, so in case of failure I just have to swap in a new drive. God help me if I have to re-rip all the cds someday. This happened to Omar, the poor sod.
