description:
I have developed a new hobby. I cruise the shared iTunes music libraries on my campus, looking for those with songs I adore and don't have. I listen to the songs. I figure out who's library it is and look them up on Facebook and get thier screenname.
I wait til a night when I'm feeling brave, perhaps with a glass of Jack Daniels next to me, and send them the ultimate pick-up line: "I like your music, wanna trade mix tapes?"
This is a mix of songs in libraries that made me convinced I needed to befriend that person, avoid that person or just songs that proved why shared libraries should be listed by student life as a perk of living on campus.

| 1 | Tom Waits : Singapore |
|
I have Tom Wait's "Rain Dogs" and yet for some reason, I don't have this song on my computer. It's puzzled me for a long time, but I found somebody on the campus network who had it- problem solved.

| 2 | Harry and the Potters : These Days Are Dark |
|
One day cruising around a random library a few years ago, I see this band. My brain instantly is amused: Harry Potter Tribute Band! Thank you Boston kids for bringing this to Maine faster.

| 3 | Kanye West : Gold Digger (Feat. Jamie Foxx) |
|
I love mash-ups to a disturbing degree...the problem comes when I only know the classical song it's being mashed against and not what the original is. Plus, the occasional mainstream rap song can make a strong statement when you want your hippie friends to leave.

| 4 | The New Pornographers : Sing Me Spanish Techno |
|
It's not rare that I'm listening to somebody's library and leave the room to get dinner, and when I get back to have a random band playing that I then adore. Happened here when a morning of listening to Modest Mouse had me coming back to hear a whole new band to love.

| 5 | Blink 182 : All of This |
|
You couldn't pay me to own a Blink 182 cd, the lead singer's voice just kills me...but when somebody said Robert Smith sang on one of their cds you can bet I was on the web in a flash hunting for a free listen.

| 6 | Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx : It Sucks To Be Me |
|
I've got a soft spot for musicals and the theater kids have all the best cast recordings. If you look hard enough, you can find their audition recordings too.

| 7 | Marvin Gaye : Trouble Man |
|
I love looking at the campus deejay's playlist because they always write random facts in the notes section. Did you know that Marvin Gaye wanted to see if one of his "Gold Records" was really a gold record of his, so he played it on a turntable to learn it was a Supremes record spray painted?

| 8 | Atreyu : Lip Gloss and Black |

Friends love to tell me what bands I'll absolutely love. They are quite often wrong. At least now I figure that out before I buy the cd.

After seeing RJD2 on almost every mix on here, I finally sought out to see what the big deal was thanks to that computer science major with all the best music.

The Yay! Badge VIII
Yay sharing! Your description is right on point. Going to college blew my mind: you mean you don't have to use a dial up modem? You can download stuff for "free"? Truly cool.
