Kensington makes a cute little FM transmitter that matches my Ipod so perfectly that when it's attached, it's almost invisible. Now, I don't have to worry about carrying cd's around with me because all I need is my ipod and transmitter. Fabulous. Here's a sampling of what I'm listening to these days (In no particular order

You know I can see the typical mix of emo/hardcore/baby punk, and even the Ying Yang twins make sense because everyone need to have a song that has the audacity to put "I got a ten foot pole. That'll go in 'yo hole, and take 'yo soul. And make nut come out yo nose." in a song on their iPod. But why ELO? I guess it just matters on the song. It could be the sheer misogyny of Evil Woman. Or maybe it's the 1st Movement (Jumping Biz) which is just a cool song. Or maybe just Showdown I love that song.

Did you know Milo of the Decendents left the band after Milo Goes to College to study biochemistry. Which is what he still does now. Well they did tour maybe ten years ago.

Actually, Milo never really left the band, they've just taken a lot of long breaks. The Descendents recorded a new album 2 years ago. Not that I'm huge fan or anything, I just wikipedia'd it since your comment sparked my curiosity.

And as for ELO, I love them, ever since I saw Xanadu. It's my happy music :-) I have a number of their songs on the Ipod - Evil Woman, Do You Want My Love, Strange Magic, I'm Alive, Don't Walk Away. I just put some KC and the Sunshine band on there too - apparently I'm moving into a disco phase for the week.

Disco was sort of maligned do it's popularity, (especially at the end) lack of substance, and declining quality. But it's still a pretty good genre when you (after all these years) look at as a whole. Oh and since you like Xanadu, Abba is one of the best pop bands from that period. Also that last Madonna song... what the hell is it... oh yeah Hung Up sampled Abba's Gimme Gimme A Man After Midnight.

And you are right, I should of looked it up before I spoke.

I have to say - though I'm not a big Abba fan,I am a huge horror movie fan. And since Prom Night ranks up there on my list of favorites, Abba has a special place in my heart. New Madonna, however...ick. I can't get into it. Give me Like a Virgin or Material Girl any day. Somewhere in my music collection I have an eighteen minute early Madonna mix that's absolutely stellar!

My taste in music tends to follow my moods...and lately, I'm all over the place.
