Get Behind Me Satan - The White Stripes

The saga goes like this.

• Download the album from Itunes (link to buy) ($9.99 for 13 songs plus the cover art and the video for Blue Orchid, delivered right now = goodness).

• Realize that I upgraded my laptop to Itunes 4.8 which is un-DRM-able at the moment.

• Try to copy the files over to Tina's laptop but the wireless network is down.

• Burn a CD of just the .m4p files.
  
  
• Import them into Tina's laptop.
  
  
• Strip out the DRM and convert to .mp3.
  
  
• Move them up to Tiny (my psuedo Media Center PC age ~ 7 years) and import them into Itunes there.
  
  
• Fire up the XBOX Media Center to play them through the TV.

Here is my idea for DRM. I would be totally willing to digitally 'sign' my music collection so that if it ends up on a BitTorrent site you can come arrest me for distribution. I just want to use the stuff I buy on all my devices without any hassle.

My unstructured notes on the album:

• If I was still in high school and it was 1991 and I had my red Honda and played tapes and it was summer, this would be my summer album. I remember very fondly how back then certain albums became theme music for periods in my life.
  
  
• There is a bit more piano and a bit less guitar on this album. According to the included .pdf its Jack playing the piano and he his piano is as distinctive as his guitar and I like it.
  
  
• I read someplace that they made this in like 2 weeks. I want them to start making albums monthly.
  
  
• On the album artwork, Jack looks like a sweaty-toothed madman.
  

1. Blue Orchid - Frantic pace, great song for running.
   
   
2. The Nurse - Any song that can combine marimba and rock music is great.
   
   
3. My Doorbell - The hook is a little silly but I know will get stuck in my head. This song is probably my favorite on the album so far.
   
   
4. Forever for Her (Its Over for Me) - Slower song, more marimba
   
   
5. Little Ghost - A strange song lyrically. He isn't just in love with a ghost, he is planning some specific and I think impossible actions. Very twangy w/ a mandolin(?). The backup singers are quite a bit off.
   
   
6. The Denial Twist - Love the beat, mostly piano and drums. Good one.
   
   
7. White Moon - Slow song, a little ponderous as I didn't really notice when it ended.
   
   
8. Instinct Blues - A song about evolution or something. Big guitary song but doesn't move fast enough.
   
   
9. Passive Manipulation - 35 seconds of Meg only. When Meg sings, I feel compelled to pull out my fingernails.
   
   
10. Take, Take, Take - Keeps changing tempos and is a bit psychotic that way. Its almost like when 2 songs are running through your head in parallel and they start to get mixed together. Good one.
    
    
11. As Ugly As I Seem - Acoustic, just a nice song
    
    
12. Red Rain - When I saw the title I was really hoping for a cover of Peter Gabriel's mopey song from So. Remember So? That was a great record. Its not a cover and not my favorite on the album.
    
    
13. I'm Lonely (But I Ain't That Lonely Yet) - Old country, gospel sound. Good way to end the album
