My lovely wife bought me an iPod for my birthday and I must say it totally rocks. As I've been doing my reading online for school, I have been ripping cd's and putting them on the iPod. So far I have about 2000 songs and room for about 3000 more. Whoa.
I have noticed on a few other peoples blogs that they sometimes include what they are reading, watching or listening to. I can dig that yo, so I thinks I'll co-opt it and call it my own. Seeing as I listen to a whole crapload of music at work an on the commute to school I think I'll just list a few that pop into my head.

Melinda and I went to see spoon Saturday night at the Showbox, they were pretty cool. Everytime Melinda and I go see a show we leave saying 'We should go to more shows!', then a year goes by and we go see another show.
anyway...
the Showbox is a dive. They fixed it up but I think it's still a lousy place to see a rock show. All I've seen there have been rock shows although Whiskytown was a pretty rockin show if I remember right. Those days were kind of fuzzy. The sound sucked as usual but I suppose I go into the Showbox expecting that.
anyway...
Spoon put on a pretty good show and kept my attention considering I hadn't heard but one of their songs. They're are a 4 piece consisting of guitar/singer, bass/backup singer, drums/backup singer and keys/backup singer. Pretty damn tight and for the most part played like a 3 piece.
That's all I care to say about the matter.
The End

<rant>I hate these bastards. I hope this tactic backfires on them big time. If they weren't such greedy bastards people wouldn't be driven to sharing music. Like I want to pay $20 for a cd when only about 1/2 the songs are worth a crap. Screw em all and screw their MTV cribs.</rant>
One of the fellas that I work with out here has a whole crapload of music shared out on his computer that I listen to from time to time. While trolling through album after album I came upon the Posies Dear23 album. I hadn't heard it in ages and ages. I know I have a copy of the album somewhere amongst all my tapes (which are spread all over the house) which I actually got when I went to their record release party and the New Melody tavern in ballard. Damn fine album and if you don't have it I would put it on your 'fleshing out my catalogue' list of purchases.
Anyway, I'm going to put my headphones on and listen to it front to back again.
