Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm behind in the movie thread, so apologies if this was posted there: Elijah Wood as Iggy Pop?

Only Love Can Break Your Heart – St. Etienne

Oooh, Sarah Cracknell. I'd go on line with you any day! t Homer

(Yes, I know she wasn't the vocalist on this song.)

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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

That Rilo Kiley cover should have successfully sent to Buffistarawk. Enjoy, kids.

Preach it.

And the new iTunes phone? [link]

Also $250. And it can hold a whopping 100 songs on its 512 MB memory card (and they calculate that at a much lower kbps rate than I prefer). Again, I say 60GB (or at least 20GB) is the way to go.

Excellent. Gracias Snr. Broom.

The Nano will survive far more physical abuse than a 60GB iPod. If you do a lot of running or are clumsy enough to drop an iPod on concrete (hi), the Nano is a good value.

That said, I have a 40GB iPod. And I baby that thing. I probably treat it better than Annabel (that is, I don't bounce it up in the air or play horsey with it).
