What's on my iPod

First of all, I must say that the iPod Nano sucks. The crappy decoder skips on virtually all of my .mp3 files, so I'm stuck with iTunes proprietary .aac format. This seems like a crass attempt to lock users into the iTunes store, even while Apple simultaneously promotes their deal with EMI (home of the Beattles catalog) to provide open format .mp3s at $1.29 per song that can be played on multiple portable players. Lame.

That being said, here's my latest 25 songs. I'm rapidly becoming a fan of Midnight Movies. Very melodic and ethereal. They have a new release coming out in late April. I've heard some of it on KCRW, and it sounds fantastic.


Yes, that's Avril Lavigne. I'm a sucker for dumb girly pop.
