Yes! It's not just me! They will not stay in! The hip hook-over-the-ear ones hurt too, so I may just go old school and get old-fashioned top of the head earphones--which are a bitch to carry around.

I have behind the head ones that I like a lot (for my discman - no iPod). I also have some seriously lightweight Senheiser head phones for home use.

The earbuds I had that broke came with two other sized sets of the silicone bit, so I could wear whichever size fit best. And they did fit. And sounded great. But are broken. Sadface.

I've never found earbuds that will stay in my ears, or don't hurt, too. I love the behind-the-head regular earphones, except when I want to lie back, because then they get sort of smushed into my neck.

I am always a little startled to hear songs I love and haven't heard in a while.

One thing I loved about all the themed playlists (colors, numbers, animals, etc) I used to create for work (when I had time at work to do that) is that it totally forced me to listen to songs I wouldn't think of otherwise.

Why is that when something's desperately important and needs to be done NOW, that's when no one will answer their email or their phone?

I really wanted to punch the hipster couple in the basement stacks of City Lights who were writing down titles to go order online later.

I would have sent you bail money.

I would have driven the getaway car.

on that note: Hipster Disney Villains

Awesome! Adding to my hipster links.

I have enough CDs that every time I think of ripping them to the computer, I lie down until the impulse passes. The main thing I miss about LPs is liner notes. I regret the demise of the album because some albums are so perfect as a whole.
