A few quick recommendations

I found a copy of Jose Gonzales' new album "In Our Nature" on the interweb last night. At first listen it's pretty good. There's a good cover of "Teardrop" by Massive Attack which is probably my early favourite. This guy is actually pretty good with covers, over his last few ep's he's covered Springsteen, Kylie and Joy Division. Kind of like Something for Kate, I often end up liking his covers better than his original songs.


This isn't so much a recommendation, as much as a wish list - the new ipods are out, and I want one. Or two.

At the moment I own two ipods - a 30gb black video one, and an orange 1gb shuffle. I can't seem to place the shuffle at the moment, but I'm sure it will turn up (the fact that it's roughly the size of a 50% piece means it's easily misplaced. And my house is rather messy these days). So if you were to rate my need for an ipod, it would be pretty low by any measure you used.

But I saw the new models this week that they're releasing, and they look great.

You've got the new touch screen ipod, which has a full length colour screen, and internet connectivity. Basically it's an iphone without the phone, which is fine with me.


Then the new nanos, which seem like they are smaller than the last model, but now have video screens too. How cool is that?
