    anyone else listening to Brett Anderson? (Suede, The Tears)

    yeah yeah yeah... i know i may be Head-Fi's biggest Suede fan, but even i was reluctant to pick up Brett Anderson's solo debut. it doesn't help that none of his and related releases hasn't been released in the US since Head Music in 1999, and it costs me a small fortune to keep his discography...

    after four years of faithful service, my original (which my brother inherited) 5GB 1st generation iPod died. it keeps resetting itself and gives me the folder with the exclamation point icon on the screen. i'm surprised my 1st gen iPod has a harddrive failure BEFORE the battery life issue. i...
