JDK Radio 008: 2004
2004 was a watershed year in music. For me, at least. And there was, like every year, some truly fantastic albums. It was, however, when I moved to Columbia's dorms in Chicago that it became almost necessary to like "cool" music. And with everyone tethered to the same network and able to rip whole iTunes libraries, I ended up amassing quite a collection.
At the time it seems almost baffling that my most-used item for music-listening was a CD player. A portable one, at that, that I shoved into my pocket when walking to class. And yeah, some fancy kids had iPods (like my roommate), but I figured I never needed more than an hour and twenty minutes of music, and that all (single) albums don't exceed the limits of a physical CD. Also at the time I had my files organized in folders for ease of use in creating Winamp play lists, so iTunes lost its ease-of-use sex appeal.
It wasn't until a full year later that I got an iPod and begrudgingly substituted the lean Winamp for the system-resource-intensive iTunes. But by that point my primary CD player broke and I had to use another that didn't have as good a skip-protection feature, meaning that a ten-minute walk to class usually involved only one New Pornographers song stuttering all the way down State Street.
Call me a nostalgia fiend for an era barely five years ago, but JDK Radio 008 is dedicated to music from the year 2004, which, to me, was my first bonafide Year of Music.
