To be classic Bowie, it'd need a flame-orange wheel as well.
Early: You folks are all insane. Simon: Well, my sister's a ship. We had a complicated childhood.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I think the black & red iPod should have gone to The Cure, dammit. I mean, a Bowie iPod would be nifty (notice my understatement there), but a black & red gothy color-scheme iPod should have gone to a gothy band. Siouxsie, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus ... any of those would have had me lunging at the Apple store with the credit card.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
The ipod is a life-changing appliance. Seriously.
Go iPod! Choose iPod!
And there's now a replacement battery program, and a DIY one that's only $40.
And I *liked* Lemon. I need to get that album on CD (or from iTunes Music Store, I guess). I think that was the U2 DH bought on our honeymoon, on tape so that we could listen to it in the car ...

hip deep in pie
But it's black! With a red clicky wheel!
Maybe the Goth iPod will be Black on Black. With a hint of red, silver or white.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Siouxsie, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus ... any of those would have had me lunging at the Apple store with the credit card.
Heck, even Gene Loves Jezebel would have been a better choice than U2.
U2 should have gotten, like, silver and green.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The ipod is a life-changing appliance. Seriously.
Exactly. Commuting is so much more livable now.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
I really should get one. Lugging 25 CDs to and from work daily is a pain in the arse. And the shoulder.

Up with the sun
I'm in love with my iPod. Not only will it shuffle songs so that this morning the first things I've heard have been Evanescence, The Thrills, Asylum Street Spankers, Sarah McLachlan, Paul Simon and Pansy Division, BUT if I decide to chuck it all and listen to the Requiem for a Dream Sundtrack or some David Sedaris, I can. And it will play "name that song" with me! I'm all giddy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So we've never gotten the jetpacks or flying cars that we were promised as kids, but I can carry my entire music collection in a cool-looking thingie the size of a pack of cigarettes, so I think that's a fair trade-off.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'd rather have a flying car.
