Friday on the 'pod

Thanks to Scott over at The Fat Guy, I'm a little lighter in the wallet but much richer in music. Scott reminded me (even as he was reminded by someone else) of the genius that is Delbert McClinton, yet another reason why Texas music and musicians are unmatched in variety and skill.

As a result, I have "One of the Fortunate Few" looping on the iPod while I try to concentrate on some mind-numbing work (creating PDF forms).

If you think blues music can't be fun, you haven't spent much time hanging out with Delbert. (Ooh...I like that line: If you can't lie no better than that, you might as well tell the truth!") And if you think you can listen to Delbert without twitching to the beat, then you need a medical checkup...stat.

[plug alert!] ...and if you think surf music can't be fun, check out one of my favorite albums: Meshugga Beach Party! [/plug]

Don't ask me where that came from--I'm not normally one to advertise things.

But wait! There's more! Batteries are not included! But if you act now...

I was listening to some of the MP3 samples when you posted your second comment. That's great! Reminds me of The Ventures (way before your time, grasshopper)...

Sort of a corollary on the Christian side is the reggae style worship songs by a group called The Children of Zion.

Dang Eric, you are just way too hip:the reggae style worship songs by a group called The Children of Zion?

Dang Eric, you are just way too hip:

Dood, you seriously need to rework your definition of hip!

But, you haven't heard "Awesome God" until you've heard it to the beat of steel drums. ;-)

I honestly thank the Lord for iPods :D

Rae, I can't remember what life was like before iPods! (Not that I want to, but it might keep me from taking them for granted.)

We just got E a Shuffle for her birthday. She was thrilled :D

Well, who wouldn't be? I use mine even more than I use my 40 gig 'pod. It's perfect for carrying into the garage and connecting to some powered speakers to provide a musical score for my handyman projects. No need to worry about sawdust, metal filings or any other contaminants fouling up the works!
