Let's talk about music in the 00's

[chum1]

Pitchfork's heyday. 

[PandaXpanda]

Nelly was a banger during my formative childhood years. I guess this is potentially Shame Yourself material, but I was fairly young and I guess I don't really care.

2001 - Huge fan of Jimmy Eat World's Clarity CF3 buys "Bleed American" when it comes out. Listened to it probably 85 times the first 2 months of college that year

Excellent all the way through.

Did the 3 of us just become best friends?

Nope, it was the 4 of us.

I can tell you the minute it got shut down. How?  Because I told it to just download everything that Kougar24 had when I heard it was going down.  That night they shut it off.  If I sort my mp3s by date created there are hundreds of songs from November 2001, then one minute it stops.

[Asteriskhead]

You really ARE a metalhead

yea. what, did you think I had a metal plate in my head or something?

2000 is about the time that music started getting really terrible.  wasn't fully (mostly) terrible until like 2006 tho.

I'm pretty jealous. My first concert was Good Charlotte opening for Jimmy Eat World and I was super pissed that my friend made us stay for JEW.

[steve dave]

I listened to a lot of Arcade Fire and Interpol

[steve dave]

also, it seems too recent to really have a look back. like, I feel like I will see it much differently when I look back from further down the road.

St. Anger was released in 2003. It's Metallica's second worst studio album (Death Magnetic)

what in the eff? you'd rather listen to st anger than death magnetic?

[OK_Cat]

i feel like a lot of my musical choices in the 00's belong in the shame yourself thread.

[Emo EMAW]

NORTH CAROLINA!  C'MON AND RAISE UP!

6. Consolers of the Lonely - Raconteurs
7. Demon Days - Gorillas
8. 2001 - Dr. Dre
9. Red Album - Weezer

Idk, most of it holds up okay anyway.

My year in the dorms (06-07) was right before Apple fixed the hole that allowed you to use a third party program to download songs from other people's shared iTunes folders on your network. Downloaded a ton of music that way. Was ultra fast for the time.

Yup.  My freshman year you could walk down the hall, copy a 100 songs into a folder, and IL that folder to yourself on IM.  By the time you walked back to your room it was there.  I still laugh when I put my iPod on shuffle at the stuff that comes up.

yeah, wasn't directing that at anyone. actually maybe directing it at college sd when I thought I'd always have this enormous server full of every song ever made and how great it was going to be. when I upgraded my last PC I actually didn't even take the time to move the roughly 500GB of music. just let it burn. young me would have been
