But since the lights went out I’ve never been the same

[venta]

Yesterday I had one of those moments where I realise I have a very specific opinion on something - but no real justification for it, and no clear idea where I got it from.

So, you, my dear self-selecting sample of guinea pigs, have the opportunity to prove me right. Or wrong. But I'm not going to tell you which is which. I'd hate to bias my otherwise-scientific survey.

I'm asking here about portable mp3 players (or mp3-a-likes). If you use your computer to play mp3s at you at home, or have some form of mp3 monster in the car, that's not what I meant.

"Some other things which I will comment about": I want to say "indispensable", but since I've only had it for a couple of weeks, it seems a bit much. Oh, and some sort of answer along the lines of "I already had an ibook and used itunes, so getting an mp3 player which didn't start with an i would've been daft".

And I was thinking to myself last night that I'd have to remember to make the following comment on your next entry, and that I'd have to apologise for it being OT, but it's actually not!

I was innocently driving along yesterday, with my ipod plugged into my car's cassette deck, playing my "bouncy" playlist on shuffle, when on came a song I didn't recognise, which confused me because I didn't think there were any such songs on my ipod. A moment later, all became clear: it was "Music for girls", from BAYD a few weeks back, and it's lovely. Hurrah for BAYD! And why was it absent last week?

Don't you mean iCon ?

:)

I'm glad to see Music For Girls getting the respect it deserves, and hurrah for it finding itself in a "bouncy" playlist :)

BAYD was absent last week on account of me being off sick on Friday. It hopes to make a triumphal return this week.

How is that good for society?

Anyway, pictures of your eye can be used to fake retinal scans... ;)

So an iBead or iRiver then? ;)

:-P

(Damnit. Forgot about iRiver and didn't know about iBead.)
