Heartfelt double clicks

Thank you Jack White. 

I want to be dancing to music this good when I’m 75. I love these horns!

Yesterday I had to clear 3GB of space on my iPod for new music. I had been avoiding this for over a year now, but it was really time. I knew it wouldn’t be easy to find things to delete but everyone had told me the best way to do it would be fast - just rip it off like a band-aid. So though I would have liked to have taken a few days to give everything one last listen before removal, a sort of fond farewell, I instead did a mass delete in under an hour. 

I know most of the things I took off will probably never get listened to again. They’re lost in the folders of my external hard drive now. So consider this post my eulogy to the music that has been with me and that I’ve loved over the past 5 years (except for Sahara Hot Nights, I literally had never listened to that.)
