How does this happen.
« on: August 24, 2005, 01:18:17 am »
I just opened up my "My Music" folder for the first time ever (always just selected music out of the media player).

Has windows been downloading album art behind my back or what?

Hey, I haven't heard a Wham song in a long time... 

...and I'm okay with that ;)

You can turn that feature off in WMP's Tools > Options > Privacy settings if you want to.

It only seems to do it for some of my music. If the mp3 has an embedded album cover WMP won't bother downloading album art.
Listen to more Stereolab!

Well that's pretty subjective. Maybe not my house or your house, but apparantly he rocks Paige's house.

Paige's house is a motorhome, so it's not that hard.

Um, that is roughly one half of one percent of the collection.  ;D

And "Phil Collins Rocks the House" is a South Park quote.  ;D

BTW,

That Pat Boone album is "In a Metal Mood", where Pat sings heavy metal covers. Hilariously awesome album, and I gained enormous respect for Boone when he did it. Instant classic.

Needless to say, I have the album too.

Okay you make a good point there. I watched her videos with the mute on.

The first album was excellent.  A bit shallow, but really good for what it was.  Later on, when they totally commercialized her, she became lame but still good to look at.

Now she's all whored up old chick trying to bootyshorts her way into the ghetto vibe.  It just makes me sad.

On a real life scale she's scorching hot.  On a music industry/hollywood/TV screen scale, she's old and busted.

If she had aged gracefully and kept with her soul roots, she would be one of the most beautiful people on the planet.  The selling out made her ugly.
