But...then that would be the only music you could put on it, right, or, at least, you couldn't rip it to your computer within the iTunes framework? That seems like something that people would not so much get behind.

Well, I'd assume that there would generally be extra space for you to stick more songs onto it. And currently you can transfer songs (purchased from the iTunes music store) from your iPod to iTunes on your computer, so I'd think these hypothetical iPods would work the same way.

I saw Henry Rollins & Ian MacKaye at the Rat in Boston doing a "spoken word" thing which was really just them reminiscing about their days at the ice cream shop! hilarious.

My friend Ivor Hanson (drummer in Faith and Embrace) worked there as well.

The bookstore where I work on Saturdays just got his book (about window washing) in this week!

Hec, remember the pig songs I was asking about? Any chance you can post some of the ones you suggested when you have a chance?

Heeee, Ivor!

He went to my college, on the 6-year-plan, and was a second or third year senior my freshman year. All the freshman drama majors used to watch him strolling long-leggedly across campus with his long hair and leather jacket and swivel our heads to follow him and meltingly sighhhhhhhh, like the intellectual-geek version of the gaggle of twittering girls following Viktor Krum around in Goblet of Fire.

The randomness of finding out that Hec has been friends with him and his twin since college still utterly cracks me up.

Absolutely! Sorry I've been tardy. I was actually reminded when I was looking at the Cartoon Modern book and saw the entry on "The Three Little Bops."

Yay! He's been working on that book for five years. I'm glad it's finally out.

David -- Do you know Ivor because he lives in your building, or did you know him before that?

Ivor's twin brother Lars was one of my freshman when I was an R.A. at Kenyon. So I've known Ivor since he was 18 and still playing with Faith.

Ivor actually was admitted to Kenyon, but took a year off between high school and college to play with the band. Then he went to Vassar instead.

He was only in SOA briefly towards the end of their career and never recorded with them. His other bands were Manifesto, and then Embrace (which was sort of the proto-Fugazi, with Ian MacKaye).

I suspect Ivor was one of the people in the scene who snarkily dubbed "emocore" early in its inception.

I'm posting piggy songs to BR2. That would be the second one.

Bessie Smith, Southern Culture on the Skids, Suede, Louis Jordan, Tennesee Ernie Ford - just the good stuff.

Thanks, Hec!

Thanks, Hec!

De nada. Still looking for "Space Madness."

But I have delivered quality porky songs to Buffrok Deux.
