Had a great night last night seeing the Manics live in the Bluebird Theater in Denver. Small place - holds a couple of hundred or so ( a very small venue for such a band imho). Tickets were a steal at $15 Decent Support from Nico Vega, a bit shouty but not bad. The Manics however really...

I was thinking the other day.. apart from wishing I had a little more to be able to send my son to pre school an extra day a week, and maybe help with the wifes medical costs, I don't really need a great deal of money myself. Is there anyone out there who feels they have enough money? When is...

Part 1: I have an ipod Video 60 gb (5G?), and I'm having issues with it playing albums gaplessly. I have music loaded on it that was rippied in Itunes, EAC and dBPoweramp. I have tried ALAC, MP3 and AAC and I cannot get it to play gaplessly with any consistency. ALAC was terrible and left a...

Watching TV, it appears a newer model of the iphone is out today. Am I the only person who thinks it's all a little nuts, with people queueing up for days, and whooping and high fiving sales staff, for a phone. I think the last time I bought somehting the day it came out, was a playstation...
