Music

Seems that the Genomic Repairman is having a music crisis. Here, I have over 120 GB of music, with very little I wish to listen to. However, I do have a few bands that I have on my iPod which I've turned to.

1. Them Crooked Vultures - A sweet mix of Queens of the Stone Age (Josh Homme), Nirvana/Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl), and Led Zeppelin (John Paul Jones). What isn't to like about this super band?

2. Queens of the Stone Age - Awesome beats, kick-butt lyrics.

3. Shinedown - Sound of Madness, awesome song.

4. Brand New - Daisy and The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me are two of the best albums of the first decade of the new millenium.

5. Beastie Boys - And if you don't like it, then hey **** you!

6. Here Come the Mummies - Most people will not have heard of this band, but if you love funk ... you'll love these guys. And they'll love you right back!

Mix Tapes ...

... are cool. Though technically, they're more like Mix CD's now, eh?

1. I'm a Believer - The Monkees
2. Bus Stop - The Hollies
3. God Only Knows - The Beach Boys
4. Just You 'N Me - Chicago
5. Never My Love - The Association

SanDisk Corp. hits a home run ...

... if this idea takes off.

Schreiber said slotMusic albums will be sold on 1 gigabyte microSD cards, which means they will be able to hold a full album and related content such as liner notes and cover art.

Buyers will be able to use extra space on the cards to hold songs and photos from their own collections.

The genius of this move? While SanDisk players like the e200 have a microSD slot, iPod's do not, and while you can use them with a computer ... it's an extra step.

Personally, I have an e200, and I love it ... so I welcome this move by SanDisk.
