Month: July 2003

Many moons ago – nearly six months, actually – I wrote what would become a semi-legendary album review of Dancemania EX2. One of the many Toshiba EMI Dancemania releases (which is where most licensed DDR tracks come from, hence the interest), this album was notable for a number of reasons…
…largely because it was absolute crap.
Shortly after my return from NYC, I heard the three characters I was praying I would never hope to hear: “EX3“. My logic and reason screamed no, but the sadomasochist in me shouted yes, and so here I sit, ready to listen to said album.
Standard rating system notes: As with the official ID3 MP3 rating system, songs are rated from 1 (absolute trash) to 100 (solid gold). Songs rated at 40 or higher should be considered at least somewhat redeemable. Songs rated at 50 or higher should be considered above average. Ratings of 60 or higher are good enough to be included in my “Top Rated” playlist (currently containing 1870 songs out of a total of 5785), while songs above 80 go into the “Only The Best” playlist (currently 131 songs).
Here we go.

I just finished captioning the crap out of everything, so check out the pictures from the trip.
Yes, I know most of the captions aren’t in slide show mode. I had to do it by hand because iPhoto has ridiculous text limits.

We’ve made it back to Ithaca.
