This should be a post for my “sour apple” blog, but until I get around to creating that…

I love Apple, I love iTunes, and I guess this is all really my fault, but it’s frustrating just the same. A few months ago I decided it was time to reformat my Powerbook. I wanted to clean everything up, and start fresh with a new installation of Tiger… less headaches, right? Then I remembered I had just over 20 GB of music on the hard drive. Long gone are the days of backing up to a couple CDs. After frustrating myself shopping for portable hard drives, I purchased and returned a Western Digital 60GB Passport 2.5″ External Hard Drive because it wouldn’t run off my USB port without a power cord attached. I decided to just back the songs up on DVD until I could decide on a portable hard drive that really I liked. I weeded out some junk I never listened to and burned iTunes backups 1 through 5 on DVDs, checking each one as I burned to make sure they worked ( I had previously burned a DVD of misc. pics using the shiny new “burn folders” in Tiger, only to end up with a DVD full of the same photo, using the names of the files that were supposed to be there… frustrating)… I was nervous, with good reason it turns out.

This weekend, I ( well, Trisha actually) decided to box up the dusty CD’s piled in the living room and store them someplace out of sight. I started sorting through an endless pile of 80’s and 90’s country CDs and started importing into iTunes the stuff I thought I may listen to again at some point (very similar to the size 30 Levi’s in the closet that I might fit into again someday… I could… maybe… stop laughing). Soon I began to realize I couldn’t remember which CDs I had already done so I pulled the backup DVDs out of the case to see. That’s when I discovered that only 2 of the 5 would actually open in my Powerbook. 3 DVDs full of music… gone. Some stuff I can reimport, but lots of it was a result of my lack of self control and New Music Tuesday at the iTunes store, or remnants of the early days of Napster. All of it is gone.

Vanished.

No more.

What I need now… is a new PEPSI cap promotion.

I love Mayer’s music. I love his old stuff. I love his live stuff. I love his covers, his originals, acoustic, electric.. it doesn’t matter. I read about this “trio” thing a month or so ago, got excited, and then forgot all about it. This morning as I’m skimming through the iTunes music store, there in front of my eyes appears a banner for a new single… begging for the click of my music. Of course, I obliged. I know in a few weeks, a full album will come out and I’ll kick myself, (I need an option in iTunes to turn off the ability to purchase singles!!!) but until then… these two tracks will be playing along with the live song I downloaded from johnmayertrio.com.

I really fell in love with these once I saw the commercial.
