Nicotine & Gravy
| in general, it seems like when I get up here and say "read this book," at least one person reads the book. Usually Mick. Thanks, Mick.
I was just thinking about what a good book Andorra by Peter Cameron was. It's a few lazy days in a forgotten country in the Pyrenees, and it teaches the valuable lesson that, when you move to a romantic new country to escape some horrible aspect of your life, you should take a few days to chill out before you start repeating the same mistakes that ruined your old life. Also there are dogs in it. So apparently you can get a used copy on Amazon for 50 cents. Could it be harder than that? I have a new iPod. I've turned into an "iPod asshole" who's always listening to the iPod as I walk down the street, oblivious of nearby cars and low-flying airplanes. But it's really cool to have all of my music on random. When played on random it's a little "Beck-heavy", but, then, my library is a little beck heavy. If you stop to think about it, Beck has put out a TON of albums, ranging from "acid folk" on One Foot in the Grave to the bizarre electronic party creations on Midnite Vultures. This is never more evident than when you hear "Satan gave me a taco" and "Nicotine & Gravy" back to back. Listen to Thee More Shallows and My Life is on the Line. After another 8 mile walk this weekend, I have come to one conclusion. And that is that this doesn't even look like san francisco.  |
So, did you get a regular iPod, or the mini? I was in the Apple store and the guy who worked there said he would never buy the mini without the employee discount.

Posted by: ethan on March 16, 2004 10:13 PMor maybe people who only want to listen to a select 21 of their cds at any given time.
