Confessions of a Fanboy

I am once again obsessing on Dave Carter’s Commitment and Change, although not for reasons of an entirely musical nature.  Of course I love the music and it all starts there, but it turns out after ripping some 20,000 songs to my iPod I suddenly became to dumb to operate a computer.
Somehow I managed to [...]

Go big or go home.  Yes, sir, most days when I come to work I come heavy.  160GB iPod classic, brimming with treasures and wonders to behold.
The latest casualty of the terrible beauty of my new Macbook Pro was my iPod.  I had to re-sync it, which when we’re talking about more than 20,000 songs [...]

I haven’t done an installment of Let’s Talk About My iPod in months, so I suppose it’s only fitting that I’d resume that series with some Springsteen in mind.  I’ll warn you upfront, the connection is tenuous but stick with me.
Earlier this month, I bought a device called a Time Capsule.  It’s a product Apple [...]

It took awhile, but I think I’ve found my Monday mojo.  I’ve been looking for the right music for the day all morning and not having a lot of luck.
I started with The Black Keys’ Rubber Factory and Magic Potion.  I really like both albums but neither completely captured my imagination.
Next up was Buddy Guy’s [...]

Welcome to the latest installment of “Josh Hathaway Has No Life.”
TheWifeToWhomI’mMarried was recovering from our insanely busy weekend, leaving me to my own devices tonight. What did I do with all that free time? I’m glad you asked. I’ve been tagging Beatles songs in my iTunes music library, making it possible to [...]

Dan Wilson — Free Life: I’ll do it to you every time. Give me ZERO turnaround [...]

I didn’t realize until I compiled this list just what an active, productive, and awesome music-listening day I had today. I knew I was listening to some great music but it wasn’t until I got to see the cumulative total of it all that I realized just how great.
I rule.

I had a very 11 day, revisiting several albums that dominated his late mid-to-late ’90s listening. Garbage, The Ghost of Tom Joad, Passengers, a little bit of New Adventures in Hi-Fi, and a couple tunes from PopMart-era U2. I also sandwiched in some Nu-Blues songs — a meaningless term that somehow makes sense [...]

It was my first day with my new 160 GB iPod (just for you, Brewster) and what a great day it was. I bought my iPod a present in the form of the new Eddie Vedder “solo album.” Vedder was tapped to do the soundtrack for Sean Penn’s new movie Into The Wild. [...]

It’s a special edition of Let’s Talk About My iPod because we’re talking about a brand new iPod. I’ve moved out of the overcrowded slum that was the 80GB model and have moved the palatial digs of a 160GB mansion on the hill. Life is good.
What would possess a person to get a [...]
