Fans of odd/world/obscure music - help!

... To write off all the rest seems a tad extreme...

I was given a stack of MP3s once*... it's only about 15-20gb in size. I'm still working my way through it.

*I've just checked... it was eight years ago!

The Ali Farka Toure + Toumani Diabete folder presumably has the album "In the Heart of the Moon". Well worth a listen.

Agree
And see if you've got any other Mali artists like Tinariwen or Oumou Sangaré

Edit: oo, I see you have Orchestra Baobab. Check them out!

Be careful clicking on the David Cameron folder, who knows what chaos will follow.

Oops - that's embarrassing. Has she always been a she?

No need to be embarrassed. As far as I know, she's always identified as trans but only relatively recently decided 'she' was the right pronoun.

This is worth a read - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/apr/09/trans-singer-anohni-new-album-hopelessness

There is some class stuff on there, one jumped out at me in particular - My Chemical Romance. You can safely get rid of that without listening. They're awful.

Another reason to delete the lot... incorrectly organised

There's loads there to like ... work through them all in order. Tonight. Full report by tomorrow lunchtime, please

I always find how people organise their music interesting, for me its surname first, for bands The Beatles would be under B, The The, would be under T

 

[Reynard]

No Bryan Adams either...

 

[Yellow Saddle]

Abdullah Ibrahim - Start with Mannenburg.

Then go down to T and listen to Tom Waits.

I make only those few suggestions since it'll save you a lot of money, considering someone owns those artists one dollar per song.

Atomic Kitten tho!

Same here. There used to be an Andy's Records in Lancaster that had Zappa in the F section and Bowie filed under D... it was one of those petty things that really got my goat.

My DVD collection, on the other hand is arranged by the colour of the spine, and font, and the position/style of font
