Aural obsession

I've been obsessed with my iPod, U2 20GB version, lately. Mainly because it's been crapping out, ie. I've had to reset and restore and slap it about 12 times in the last month. It's name is now Bubba Ho-Tep, after the dog, heehee, no, after the movie. Basically I revived it so many times it just thinks it's in iPod now. Leave it to me to find something good in something so frustrating though. I found this cool blog that convinced me to slap the damn thing, take a look. This is verging on geek talk, I'll stop now.
More silver-lining: this has forced me to weed out and update my music library. It's amazing how limiting it is listening to the same music over and over for 10 years. I had no idea! Now I'm obsessed with finding new music. The internet has so many beautiful ways of finding anything but especially music. Allofmp3.com is a great, cheap site for downloading and listening to specific artists and albums.
But if you're more into the music coming to you the best Music Internet tool I've found is lastfm.com This is what the Internet was made for. It's a beautiful, collaborative, discover-new-music, community. I urge you to take a look, sign up and share your music. It's all streaming, no downloading so there's no worries. When you go, look for smootie! Do it, I'm telling you, it's going to blow your mind!
