So... "random thoughts on random songs" ... the other possible subheading would be something like "an aging muso listens to his records again." After 20+ years of record collecting it was a great thing to get a snazzy 20gig music player and start ripping things it into it, as it put me back in touch with a lot of things I hadn't listened to in a while. And of course the best feature is the "shuffle" setting, which brings things up at random, making possible any number of segues - some jarring, some illuminating.
So we can talk about a lot of music here - old country or soul, new trip-hop, some good old punk rock, who knows? We'll see what comes up on the machine and where it takes us. It may be random, it won't always be completely satifsying, but let's get started...
I quite fancy an i-pod after hearing so much good stuff about them. Oooh - you got the 20 gig version too!
How did you get your music onto it? (I only have a vague knowledge of how these things work!)
I assume it's battery powered. How long does the battery last? Is it a re-chargeable/built-in one like a cell/mobile phone?
So - what music did you put on there first?
Come on! Details...!
;-)
