poetry in commotion...

where are ze ipods

Having filled up my 30gig ipod to the brim with still more music to go, I had to make one of two decisions - trim the fat, or buy the new higher capacity ipods.  Having looked at my library and decided just about every song on there is a song I probably would want to listen to sometime, somewhere, I decided the 80gig ipod was the way to go. Perhaps it was Apple's ample use of "1 2 3 4" by Feist of Broken Social Scene fame (though perhaps that should be the other way round nowadays?) to market their wares, and perhaps I just wanted a new toy, either way I went to the city centre during my lunch to buy one. Except I went to everywhere in Perth and couldn't find one.  Where are the ipods?? There were a few 160gig ones, but to be honest that's probably way too much capacity even by my standards. 

I decided to skip on the ipod touch mainly because my rule of thumb is never to buy a first iteration product, as there are inevitably design flaws, as evidenced by the general lackluster reviews over the device on the internetz.

I'll probably head over to Garden City tomorrow night to see if my luck will be better...probably not though.

Music gods Radiohead drops their new album In Rainbows today. Holy hell it's been a good year for music, and it's set to get better next year with Big Day Out's Rage Against the Machine, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem and Billy Bragg.
