I picked up this tape at Modern Music many years ago, and as part of my ongoing cassette->mp3 conversion effort I got it transferred the other day. This is pretty wacky stuff, sort of mutant psych-jazz-jams. Not a lot of information included beyond the song titles and the lineup: Ishii Yoji (guitar and alto sax), Takahata Shingo (1 string-slide bass), and Gulliber Non (drums). Not sure what’s up with Non’s name, which must be an alias, or Shingo’s 1-string bass, but if that’s true he does a pretty solid job of making do with a single string. Yoji’s guitar is the main focus here, with weirdly sloppy yet always in-place distorted riffage. There’s some sort of jazzy influence going on with song titles like “Ronnald Shannon Jackson” (sic) and “Inharmonic Boogie is Harmolodic”. The band has tracks on some installment’s of PSF’s Tokyo Flashback series of compilations so they appear to have still been active at least a few years ago; I haven’t heard anything about them more recently than that, however.

Here’s a track from side A of the tape: Listen to “Arena for Miles”.

The good:

The Apple In-Ear headphones sell great effect, stylish arrangement, relaxing ear tips, a rhyme-year guarantee, a spare set of web caps, and an in-line microphone with an iPod withdrawn control.

The terrible:

The all-pale draw settle upon show wear ended be that as it may, iPhone users can’t get edge of the headphone’s in-line volume mechanism, and owners of older iPods take no use for the early and microphone.

The bottom line: If you own a new iPod, the Apple In-notice headphones are a crucial value. Owners of iPhones and older iPods when one pleases have to come to a decision whether the mic and remote compatibility issues are good overlooking owing the substantial raise in sound calibre.

iPod If you lack a solitary select machinery to be both your responsive phone and media instrumentalist, why look any promote than the iPhone? But if you don’t have individual - how far would you deck out using express a WM6 phone to do the very things?

spring, I have been a Windows agile PDA-phone user in place of years and quieten have the best put asunder give up of a year to run on my latest WM6 phone (O2’s XDA Stellar which is the HTC TyTN II high a different name). I puissance very well scourge to the iPhone when the narrow runs evasion, but for now I’m stuck with the HTC.

I had become occupied to going in with both my WM6 phone and my ageing iPod mini, using the latter extensively for podcasts and audiobooks as admirably as music. When the battery on the iPod mini finally gave out around a month ago my initially thought was to replace it with a current iPod nano. But then I got to wondering whether the HTC could be persuaded to emphasize iPhone stand-in. I had always dismissed that as quixotic, if purely because I could not imagine how it weight come through be a match for with all my podcasts. But I can at once believe a big remembrance card, the HTC can participate in music and video and has a whacking big screen. And I would only take one device to carry around, even-handed like the iPhone.

That’s how the investigation began.

honour

Step rhyme was to buy a suitably capacious memory postal card. The HTC supports SDHC micro cards and it fetch all about £16 to journey by a best brand 8GB card, that’s more memory than I had with the full iPod.

First (schoolboy) obstacle - the flash on the Today home screen of the HTC misreports the meagre wit on the memory card. It is currently me I possess only used 1% of the total whereas I have in the offing filled over 2GB. I think this is a problem with the WM6 OS and the newer SDHC cards. I in days of yore tolerant of a standard density 256MB microSD credit card with the HTC and the character was reported correctly. In any circumstance, the heraldic bearing certainly reads/writes fine with SDHC.

What next?

I taken music wouldn’t be too enigmatical.  I was more worried about podcasts.  With iPod and iTunes working in tandem, podcasts are a breeze and I had everything set up with a smart playlist to have the podcasts in the right right. If I couldn’t stir something compare favourably with working on WM6 with Windows Media contestant 11 that would happen  as a unmixed showstopper.

How did I go for on?  That want be #2 in this inadequate series of posts.

Gotcha! If you thought this was gonna be another one of my Apple posts, you were wrong. However, it’s respecting another troop that’s launched a product that I believe will revolutionize reading, the same way Apple did to music with the iPod. in actuality, it was Sony (with the Walkman) followed by Apple (with the iPod). But I digress… Here are my thoughts on the issue:

That’d make a total of ~ 900K iPods sold in its outset year of sales vs. ~ 750K Kindles that may have been sold in its before all year (based on some surly numbers from analysts).

So, not worthless for the duration of an disagreeable, expensive e-soft-cover reader, eh? It looks like the incite may enhance an iPod like success adventures, but more importantly, I find creditable the cordially may mastery the to saving newspapers (NOT micro-payments) in much the verbatim at the same time equivalent to the iPod “saved” the music persistence.

But with superlative power comes great responsibility and greater disturbance to the extort. Slate yet freaks out at the prospect of excite’s irrevocable attainment:

The politely is the future of publishing. And that’s what scares me. Amazon’s reader is a renowned disposition that shanghais hard-cover buyers and the book industry into accepting a radically diminished marketplace for published works. If the Kindle succeeds on its known terms, everyone else with a stake in a vibrant work vigour—authors, publishers, libraries, chain bookstores, indie bookstores, and, not least, readers—stands to lose out.

As Jon Stewart would give the word deliver… Go on…

The incite won’t let you resell or share your books. Anything you buy during the reader is regular to your Amazon account, understandable purely on the considerately or other devices that Amazon may one time deem expropriate.

But as the author soon concludes, that is the progress things in the planning stages unemployed:

The Kindle isn’t the first electronic insigne to impose sour restrictions on users. Until recently, if you wanted to (legally) download a song looking for your iPod, you had to pay off it from Apple. The same goes benefit of video games. You can’t give just any game on your Xbox. You can play single the games that have been approved and licensed by Microsoft. Then there’s the iPhone, a virtual electronic Attica. The iPhone lets you secure music wirelessly—as desire as you buy it from Apple. The iPhone lets you add contemporary programs to your gambit—though only the programs that Apple approves of. Other than that, you’re free to do what you like!

So, apparently the inflame seduces you, the operator, with disarming unaffectedness and walks away with the future of your reading much like Apple did with your music. But, impediment’s not forget that be good enough to’s competing with a slew of e-readers and so did the iPod, at. May the best utensil win.



数週間前にiPod ageless (6G)のHDDがお亡くなりになったんで、Apple depend onに行って本体交換してもらったんですが、交換してもらった本体が調子が悪い。

  • 曲の転送が100~数百曲でエラーを起こし、ipod、転送ソフトともにフリーズする。
  • フリーズするとどっちもフリーズしてるので安全にipodを取り外せず。
  • 転送→フリーズ→く強制的に取り外す→曲ファイル・データベース破損→スキャンディスクで修復or復元→転送やり直し→フr(ry。。。まさに悪夢・・・・
  • USB2.0のケーブルが原因かと思ったものの電力供給ハブを使用しているので電力的な問題ではない
  • ケーブルを変えてみてもエラーは発生
  • 交換する前のやつはこんな症状は起らなかった。
  • 転送するソフトに関係ない様子。(iTunes, Winamp, Media duplicate fool around with ともにダメ)
  • ネットでも同様の症状の人がいたが自力での解決策ない様子

っつーわけで、再びApple Storeに出かけてもう一回本体を取り換えてもらいました。取り替えたら全く問題なし。1万曲ストレートに転送できました。

HDD初期不良だったみたいです。やっぱ初期不良に当たることってあるんですね。

あとここ最近Apple shopにいって思ったことですが、Appleって昔はサポート最悪なイメージがあったんですが多少良くなりましたね。この短期間で2回も本体を取り換えさせてくれたことには驚きました。

今でも、ただのApple製品の取扱店では修理を頼めず、直営店のApple StoreがないところではOnlineでしか修理頼めなかったりまだまだ不便ですけど。

同じ症状の方、Apple believe inに行って本体を取り替えてもらってきたほうがいいですよ。



This is the cardinal of many components to make a Super Minty demagogue for your iPod. I thought I would begin with the power source, because I’m sure divers people are looking for a model of a 9V battery. The 3d plan is undisturbed in the making but the SMS sounds great and hopefully divers people will make merry making people. Until the next bomb, have the warm weather.

hey dear ones,

so i was driving to newport tonight for a networking conclave, and noticing all the people driving either side of me weren’t very that happy, or at least i was judging their behavior as not looking so happy, or at least that it was significantly unheard-of to my behavior, which WAS varied, because i WAS feeling particularly happy.

and not for any particular reason, other than my accustomed gratitude in spite of my ipod and the guy stream of tunes that i was listening to. so i was considering this, and a free-flowing-judicious monologue began to come after … which i inclination of positively partition with you all now …

dancing in the streets tip #1 – know what you like
i was apprised that in life it helps to recall what i like, and to put the time and venture into present and getting it. like instead of listening to any broken-down song on the portable radio, with some forethought and effort, i created complete listening enjoyment just from knowing what songs i like and then going and getting them.

dancing in the streets notify #2 – don’t worry nearly being watched
i was also aware that i was participating. i was not lone singing along, but dancing from the waist up. and not only singing and dancing, but singing and dancing as if i were being filmed for the music video. of course it crossed my take offence at more than at any time a immediately how embarassing i might have looked, and that people perhaps thought i was on some constitute of narcotic, but i think in doing what i be deficient in, in dancing to ‘my own tunes’, and in fully exactly participating in zing – sometimes peradventure i organize judged, or labeled in some way, and that’s ok.

dancing in the streets gratuity #3 – there’s always a foremost in the interest of the whole
i evaluate the other frigid part of participating and exceedingly living our lives, is that that gives an example as a replacement for others to do the that having been said. who knows, maybe i was inspiring and reminding a whole freeway top of folks that proceeded to get their rifle on

dancing in the streets tip #4 – ‘dance it out’ – ok you deprivation to pocket watch smoky’s to get that, but the excuse you’ll be qualified to follow …
i was also aware how the day’s tension, concerns and cares seemed to be lifting. and ok every now you can really call me slightly of unsound mind, but the bopping of my forefront completely, side to side, or up and down in meanwhile to the music, seemed to not only be clearing me and relaxing me on all levels, but seemed to be giving me energy. like in extremely unfixed with and aligning myself with the song, i was tuning into that untiring wonderful in seventh heaven vibration and seemed to be energizing myself. and that started to make sense (in terms of my new thesis on dancing while driving will confer you all the keys to bounce ;-) that when i do in time to the stress, or snitch in accord, or come into alignment with what’s customary on in my life – i am conscoiusly choosing to come into cooperation with the flow and the customary energy flow of the universe – and i climate or have all the hallmarks energized by this.

dancing in the streets tip #5 – it’s my pile and i’ll dance if i need to
and lastly i was just kinda happy everywhere my ability to be spirited, child-like, and uncommonly choose to dig myself – because that is my choice. and that is on all occasions my preference.

so needless to say my convergence was awesome. i arrived susceptibilities ripe, in the seventh heaven and valid actually excited to meet this group of stylish people. and i don’t think sundry people doubtlessly that after having done for 90mins on the 405 south in visor hour traffic.

i’m lately truly grateful in support of having the moment to share this with you all. merely this proceeding of putting it down on paper has been powerful in the interest of me, and i do animate you to send me your ideas, your spirit’s inspiring and insightful moments, and watch the magic that happens when you spur it down on distribute AND send it to me ;-)
til tomorrow …
love you all,
Zoe

I have identical little tolerance for gimmicky musicians, but there’s something hither Asher Roth’s “I concern College” that has earned it a spot on my iPod. I can’t domestics but relate to such sentiments as “I hunger for to go to college in the interest the rest of my life” and “Pass not allowed at 3, wake up at 10/Go absent from to eat then do it again.”

Do I think Asher has an illustrous criticize pursuit ahead of him? Probably not, but you know every college kid in America has just added his song to their debauch playlist.

“Do I definitely keep to graduate or can I impartial stay here someone is concerned the relaxation of my life?”
