A dead battery. That's what's in my iPod.

[Jack Zodiac]

Nothing, presumably. My iPod's in some plastic package in an electronics store.

[Night Swordsman]

Some of us are too poor to own a Ipod. We have bills and rent and Gail's comics to buy :p

[Lester C.]

I still use my CD walkman when I want to listen to music while I'm out of the house or out of my car. :p
I still don't get the Ipod phnomenon that has sweeped the nation, but all the kids, including CFT and DG, have one.

[howyadoin]

I have an iPod?!! Cool! What color is it?

[howyadoin]

I have an iPod?!! Cool! What color is it?Great. Now the surprise is ruined.

[Spike-X]

A girl on the train last night was listening to her iPod at a RATHER LOUD VOLUME. And what was she choosing to listen to on this state-of-the-art music playback device? What kind of quality sounds did she consider it worth spending of hundreds of dollars to be able to enjoy anywhere she goes?

Lame 80s shit. Natalie Cole. Whitney Houston.

Just goes to show, you can't buy taste.

[thehod]

I got one about two weeks ago and its pretty much been perminatly attached to my lugholes ever since. Its a bloody great invention.

I've never been much of an album listener though. Sure I appreaciate the enjoyment of listening to a good album, but to my mind, good albums are few and far between. I usually find myself skipping to the next track that I want to listen to, and on most albums that not really more than three or four tracks. I went through my cd's just uploading those pieces of music I want to listen to.

So I've now got pretty much everything from John Williams film scores, to Bucks Fizz to Nine Inch Nails to The Wonderstuff to Britpop tunes to Bobby "Boris" Picket and the Cyrptkickers. Its a plethora of excellent and crap pieces of music and the only thing they have in commen is that I like them all.

Its a pity the battery lasts something like five minutes though.

[Steel Spider]

I've got Bono from U2 in my iPod. Heh, he's always trying to get out of it, the silly little bugger. No, Bono, you stay in that iPod! Don't make me get my kicking boots!

[Sharpandpointies]

What is this thing, 'ipod'?

[Lester C.]

I have an iPod?!! Cool! What color is it?
Just for that I hope all five of your computers crash and burn. Especially the Mac.

[Night Swordsman]

Gail

Fine Fine. I am actually buying that Sexy Chix and if it is available Killer Princesses Trades on my next trip to a neighboring city.

I still can NOT find backup copies of your run on Deadpool. Sigh. But i know i can get the Agent X books thou!

By the way,did you KNOW Sexy Chix is NOT on the list of books you have worked on. SK716 is slacking on her list.

From American Psycho to you.

Patrick Bateman: Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP, called simply Whitney Houston had 4 number one singles on it? Did you know that, Christie?
Elizabeth: [laughing] You actually listen to Whitney Houston? You own a Whitney Houston CD? More than one?
Patrick Bateman: It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since, Elizabeth, it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated on the album.

Some of these might come as quite a surprise.

The playlist includes much softer & much harder stuff than this; this is just a sampler list. I usually skip 'Bravado' when it comes on, though, because it always makes me cry.

I'll also add that as far as iPods go, I've owned 10 MP3 players and given away 7 of them. The iPod Nano is simply a superior product. There's no mystique or fashion about it to me; the thing is just so well-designed and well-made, it gets the "keeper" category.

Also, the nano was a gift from my father for my 40th birthday. He had the back of it engraved:

Larry
Golden Harrier

Bad For Good - Jim Steinman

I LOVE Jim Steinman !! He is the Wagner of Rock-n-Roll !! If you can find it his girl group project called "Pandora's Box " is really cool !

[Larry Dixon]

And for a comics link, the Bad For Good album had beautiful cover art by Richard Corben.

I had a Shoutcast Euro Dance station playing last week and on it Steinman had a new track out, in German.

There's math here I think. Jim Steinman is to Meatloaf as Lindsay Buckingham is to Fleetwood Mac as Peter Gabriel is to Genesis.

:)

PS: ElvisGuy... my mother was invited to a party that Elvis Presley was going to be at, when she was a gorgeous young teenybopper, but she declined because she had an awful flu and did not want to give Elvis her flu while he was on tour. Awwww.
PPS: My dad was the head man for The Lancers, and played with Buddy Holly, Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens and Chuck Berry.
PPPS: And yes we still have the 57 Chevy I have had since I was 14.

[siviusx]

Yeah, I know. :o People nearly always fall over backwards when I show them my membership card. They're DECEPTIVELY CATCHY, OKAY!

[Larry Dixon]

Hey, Siv... good friend Janis Ian very much digs N'Sync, and hey, she learned guitar from Jimi Hendrix and is a Grammy Hall of Fame inductee. N'Sync might not be to everyone's personal taste, but no one can deny there's quality there.

She's a comic book fan too. And big fantasy & scifi book fan, too, which is how we got together. And she's turning into a mighty fine scifi short story author, too.

That's pretty sweet!

I'm not actually at ALL ashamed of liking them, but it seems to be expected that I at the very least fake some embarassment, which has become an automated response now.
