Some depressing selections from my library (which is certainly not lacking depressing music): Radiohead - Exit Music (for a film), How to Disappear Completely, Melatonin (more haunting than depressing), Street Spirit Aimee Mann -...

Grado SR-125s (SB Extigy, connected to PB via TOS) The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work Ketel One Vodka Martini That is what I am drinking right now...I've been very down lately, but at least the music and beverages are decent.

Sigur Ros: AB Tool: Lateralus Radiohead: Kid A Nirvana: Unplugged in NY Orbital: Orbital II Mogwai: Happy Songs for Happy People

Honestly, the EX71s do not sound that bad and they provide decent isolation. The build quality, however, is utter sh!t. I have owned two pairs of EX70s and each time the right channel has died about 2 mos. after purchase (I got the...

Warning: Off Topic. Damn, that NTTDoCoMo Sigmarion 3 looks amazing...an 800*480 screen and Windows CE 4.2. Too bad microsoft never released an ActiveSync client for Mac. Ok, back on topic: What generation was your iPod? I...
