Upon my readers’ suggestions, I downloaded and installed iTunes to my PC (running Windows XP) last week. Holy crap, do I love it! But it is dangerous because by default it uses one-click song purchasing, so if you’re wrapped up in a momentary “I love this song” stupor as you sample a 30-second clip, the next thing you know you’re downloading it and your credit card has been charged. Just like that, thank you drive through please. So I changed it to use a shopping cart instead. I can’t handle impulse-buying and they know we’re a generation of gotta-have-it-nows. In any case, there are eight songs sitting in my “Buy???” playlist because I have to seriously think about whether I want them. <\/p>\n
While browsing through the lovely iTunes, I came across this song by Robert Smith, Perfect Blue Sky<\/em>, that I had never heard before. It’s mixed by some guy called Junkie XL. I started listening to his album and now I can’t decide if I want to download some songs from it, or just buy the whole thing. I really like the song he did with Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode. Then later it occurred to me that my favorite song off my newest Oakenfold cd is mixed by this Junkie XL guy too. I recommend you check it out, particularly if you’re a Cure fan because it definitely has a Cure aura in certain parts. It’s called Legacy – (Junkie XL remix, with Infusion)<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Upon my readers’ suggestions, I downloaded and installed iTunes to my PC (running Windows XP) last week.
