My mom thought there was...a code,or a punchline or something in it. We don't really need subliminal left-wing messages, after all.

And the Schmaydio mixes are very eclectic.

So very true.

Though Jon referred to Ken Nordine as "that bad poet."

Oh, I didn't mean "bad". I meant "baaaaad".

No. I lied. I meant bad.

But what about the WordJazz and the bippity-boppity-boo and such?

I need to get in on the mixiness, though I don't have a tape player anymore, only CDs.

iPod update:

I think somebody wants an iPod to call their very own....(let me be the four thousandth person to say "My iPod is sacred and wonderful and the best thing ever ever, babies should be issued them at birth and we all should join the Holy Church of iPods Effing Rock." In short: Get yourself one, dude! Just make sure you get the 60GB model.)

Did y'all see the one they debuted today: [link]

It's itty.

Well, goodbye to the iPod Mini. And goodbye to the so-fragile-you-shouldn't-look-at-it-wrong hard drive.

Sucks that they didn't cut the prices on the 20 and 60GB iPods, though.

The Nano is really cool, but -- I wouldn't pay $249 for a 4GB Nano when the 20GB iPod is only $50 more.
