I am still receiving recommendations for albums in genres I've never expressed the slightest interest in. Today it's something called Burial. It is like unspeakable noise to my ears.

I'm actually looking forward to a retirement similar to mailman's someday. I mean the going to lots of jazz shows part, not the message board crank part.
Romain Collin? Wow, if that's who I think it is, his latest release was one of my emu jazz picks a couple weeks ago... maybe titled "The Calling" (?). And, yes, if I recall, he was a very handsome man.
Vetch, vetch, vetch - this is the thread to do it I suppose, so if I may: there is way too much of this crap going on - I DL'd this album in 2009. I come across this album today - same title same cover, no indication I've bought it previously but it looks familiar - we're all used to this by now, changed distribution, blah, blah - but today's version only has 44 tracks, the one from 2009 had 60. It's the damn shrinking candy bar blues all over again.
Or maybe Nanny Bloomberg has now decided too much blues isn't good for me, and I can't get it super-sized anymore. I smell a rat.
They are back but every time I try to load the message board I get the temporary maintenance page until I refresh then I get the board. And I have cleared cache and cookies. Simply don;t have the heart for an attempt at the customer service thing - I'll wait for it to go away.
It was down most of yesterday. It was my refresh day, how lovely! Also my 2 cents that were supposed to carry over, vanished when the site came up. Can't decide if it's worth bringing up.
God, the cache comment. Only works if you use Netscape Navigator and it's 2001.
It's gonna be weird when enough time passes to where I get nostalgic for stuff like that. The good ol' days of iPods... remember those? That kind of thing.
And let me tell you what the cool new party theme is going to be in twenty years... dust off that ipod that's been stored away for years and bring it to your local bar for This Used to be My Favorite Playlist night. Or something along those lines.
I still have my one and only iPod, though I don't ever really use it anymore. I loved it back when I lived in Chicago and had to take long train and bus rides to get to my various gigs, plus just for all the walking I did (which was substantial). And then, later, when I split time between Chicago and Champaign, for the long Amtrak rides, or when I drove, then in the car plugged into the stereo. It really helped the various commutes become much more enjoyable.
Obscure fact: That celebrated iPod was a "gift" from Oprah.
From what I've heard about the Harpo code of Omerta, you might get disappeared if you spill the beans.
Must admit, I used to think I'd always need the biggest iPod I could get. Now I am starting to wonder, esp as I have the phone streaming music on the home wireless network pretty well. (And, pretty clearly, Apple has no intention of making bigger iPods.) Though I am interested in "the Cloud" for backup, I have no interest in paying for streaming bandwidth.
I remember the first time I discovered that you could add album artwork and have it displayed. Initially, all off the music on my ipod were ones I'd copied from cds. I was standing on the Bryn Mawr EL platform, and looking at an iPod ad poster and saw that the image of the iPod screen had an album cover on it. When I got home that night, you get I began adding album covers to the iPod. I loved looking down at my iPod and seeing the Blue Note album covers, the Calexico tour cd album cover, all these cool images... just stare at them as I listened to the music, occasionally looking up and watching the city scroll past me outside the train window.
All I can say, beyond the fact that I stubbornly cling to my "stupidphone", is that when I'm trying to ease the mind heading for sleepyland I'm not giving up the iPod and headphones. 1. I don't have to worry about tumors from microwave radiation from having the iPod too close, and 2. I'm not going to get a freaking heart attack from the iPod ringing suddenly while I'm half asleep.
I'm still resisting getting a cellphone. I have a very limited prepaid one that I carry when on the road for emergency use, only my immediate family know the number. Apart from that I don't use one, so the entire extrapolation from there to making it smart and putting my music on it and streaming from it is simply irrelevant, since it's not a relevant device in my live. It's not because I'm anti-tech - I am typing this on my iPad - I just choose not to do the cell phone thing. I find I almost never miss it and am perfectly able to function without it and really neither need nor want to be available to people at all times. So my ipod touch is actually the device I have with me all the time, and that also has data on it of various kinds.
We're in the percentage of the population that has completely ditched the home phone, so the cell phone is integral. I have no music on it, though, and even thought it's a smart phone I don't get a ton of use from the web stuff. Except for Angry Birds. I play that a lot when I have nothing else to do.

They've been down all day, supposed to have been back a while ago. Oh no, that hoodie guy has been at it again!
Further comment would be superfluous
