20110120 - iPod Fud - Bud

I decided it was time to feed the ol' iPod with some toons and some new buds.

The new seedy - fab :o)

Suppose the trend these days is to just download - but I've ripped from CD to the iPod at better-than iTunes bitrates then played the iPod through the big speakers - there's just no comparison to actually playing the CD. Different world. Downloading compressed music - biggest ripoff in years!

Love the shot...the reflections sort of conect the buds to the toons.
:-)

Funky! Or maybe not....

I have no Ipod and don't understand all you said, but the nice pic.

Ready to blow your mind!!

wow serious stuff! great shot and the reds have come out well. I agree with your comments on the itunes rip off, prefer cd's BUT it doent beat by old parallel tracking LP player with direct cut LP's!!!! fed through an ancient Quad setup.....

Must agree, I buy the CD and rip to MP3 at the highest quality available and stash the CD.
Stephanie21-Jan-2011 01:12
Interesting tunes, cool shot! :)

Ah, the drill type deep buds with red cables. Hedonism sounds good to me. :)

aural hamburgers are so convenient...but yes so flat and greasy...a colourful conundrum here...V

Recommend these buds???
Guest 20-Jan-2011 23:07
I need to get a new ipod and new headphones..... and I like the look of those.

I'm a CD man too. Saw them on Jools Holland recently - good.

Love those earplugs, agree with JJ, Bill sounds like a bit of an arse.
Nancy Lobaugh20-Jan-2011 21:26
.... and then there's analog.....
Mairéad20-Jan-2011 21:21
I do both - download is handier, no going into record stores which don't have the CD you want, but I still like
getting the artwork and notes with a CD.
Cool plugs BTW.
Johnny JAG20-Jan-2011 21:20
I wonder what lens fitting Bill has, and will he use flash?
Máire Uí Mhaicín20-Jan-2011 21:07
You are a sound connoisseur :)
Phillip Normanton20-Jan-2011 21:07
Hmm, I'll look forward to seeing that tomorrow Mr. S-D! The photo that is... ;o)
Bill 20-Jan-2011 21:04
What a rubbish photo, I could take a better one using my arse!
Faye White20-Jan-2011 20:57
Cool buds... bud. :)
Neil Horner20-Jan-2011 20:53
I,m with you on that one.....I like to have something physical to hold and look at , I feel like I'm getting something for my money that way.....
Kevin Chester20-Jan-2011 20:43
Ah I remember these guys from Jules Holland, great opening track.
Kevin Chester20-Jan-2011 20:41
Your not wrong, its cheaper to buy the CD from Youtube than it is to download it anyway. Now I'm off to check out "Bellwhead"
