I manage just fine at the moment with my e-reader.<br />I've only bought a few e-books, but I have a lot from the public domain. for several books I searched for decades to get a hardcopy, but could never find them. From others I have a Dutch copy, but always wanted to read them in the original language. One of the first I downloaded was Jack London's "The Sea Wolf." I loved that book even as a kid.<br /><br />Mano Negra has a cult status in many Latin American countries, and in several European as well. I didn't know if they ever reached any fame in the US.<br />The Heideroosjes are World famous in the Netherlands and Belgium amongst punkers and rockers. beyond that even around here hardly. I would have been really surprised if you had known them. <br />Helena Radianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07628278680037628856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-1556622177761986722014-03-11T23:39:12.074-04:002014-03-11T23:39:12.074-04:00I have a tablet, and hopefully would be able to cl...I have a tablet, and hopefully would be able to cloud source a good bunch of songs! I use it often for Amazon's reader. I know the first two discs, but not the last too. I can be very passionate about music, as you can tell from this post and the one I just put up about 2 hours ago!Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-13484124396282828732014-03-11T23:37:03.276-04:002014-03-11T23:37:03.276-04:00Hope you enjoy the two albums.

Wonderful job.<br /><br />Hmm... Albums to take with me on a desert island. So many to choose from, but in the days I could only play tapes in my car I mainly played "If I should fall from grace with God" from the Pogues.<br />Some other tapes I had in my car were "22 tunes live from Tokio" from the Toy Dolls, "Paranoid" from Black Sabbath, "Puta's fever" from Mano Negra, "Fifi" from de Heideroosjes (Dutch punk rock band, they sing in English and Dutch.)<br />I had these and a few others in my car, because I could listen to them completely, so I wouldn't have to change tapes to often while driving. <br />I wouldn't take my MP3 player by the way, but my e-reader. I'd have my music and my books;)<br /><br />I wanted to comment earlier, but listening to both Voivod albums took up a lot of time. At this point in time they wouldn't make my list, but it was definitely worth listening to.Helena Radianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07628278680037628856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-36294885443624858502014-03-10T17:34:22.030-04:002014-03-10T17:34:22.030-04:00A great caption I like the forced in forced fem to...A great caption I like the forced in forced fem to. I would have to have a good think on a top 10 albums but mud honey by mud honey would be a definite. it was the first cd a ever brought I got an extra job to by it and a player. <br />still love that band, have not heard of voivod so am giving them a bash now.

For instance, on both Angel Rat and Nothingface, I don't even know the names of most of the songs ... which might be a reoccurring theme as the next week or two play out in this "desert island" series. <br /><br />One such CD which I don't think I will use in that theme is "Reign in Blood" by Slayer. Its 10 songs and 28 minutes long, and its sequenced to almost be one continuous song. I know "Angel of Death" is the first song and "Raining Blood" is the last. All the others take up the middle section so to speak, and its just blast upon blast of pure evil personified into musical format relentlessly pounding you into submission. I can't imagine those songs being in a different order though, as they are a coherent mass of aggression perfectly slotted together. I honestly think the impact would be affected if I just hit SHUFFLE on the CD player and listened to it randomly.Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-30323313927351032752014-03-10T10:35:54.110-04:002014-03-10T10:35:54.110-04:00Thanks!

You showed great style 5 years ago as I wouldn't have initially guessed it was that old. <br /><br />I've always wondered what it would be like to enjoy an entire CD (I wonder if in this new digital music age are we going to go back to simply calling them albums?). No matter how good the music is, I get anxious when I hear more than a couple songs form the same artist in a row. I think the closest I can get to liking an entire album is Green Day's "American Idiot". I really like most of the songs on that one, but I still find it hard to listen to more than a couple songs stringed together.
