because the 90's paled in comparison to this...

I did it.. After they’ve been out for years, I got an MP3 player, an iPod Nano to be exact. Flash back about 1998 when everyone was running around with Discmans, and I’d be one cool guy….

But alas, its not 1998 anymore, everyones got an iPod or MP3 player of some variety, wherther that be an iPod, Zune, some snazzy PDA or a run of the mill (but slightly above base-line) mobile phone. After all these years of sporadically (See the movie clueless, though I’ve been told this is actually a real world), managing to actually listen to Armin Van Buuren’s weekly radio show h on a weekly basis I finally find myself chucked in to the snake pit as regards to listening to music on a daily basis. And a lot of it, at that.

After being a sideliner for a number of months, occasionally listening to a week’s show, whenever it suited me, I’ve progressed straight to listening to each show multiple times in a week, plus have more than enough time to finally experiment with some other eargasm’s such as:

• A couple of different Drum ‘n Bass and Breaks Podcasts
• Blank and Jones’s weekely radio mix, titled The Mix oddly enough
• Marcus Shulz – Global DJ Broadcast another weekly mix
• Above and Beyonds Trance Around the World
• Intuition with Jonas Stuer
• Corsten’s Countdown, from Ferry Corsten
• Subculture, featuring John O’Callagahn
• Vonyc Sessions by Paul Van Dyk
• Perfecto Tour, Paul Oakenfold (Yes, that’s the same Oakenfold which I assumed had disappeared into obscurity years ago! He’s back, and just about as good as I remember him!)
• and some other stuff by Marco V, and others.

As you can probably guess.. That’s some serious amount of time wasted to listen too, In fact I’ve probably managed 25-30 hours of music this week alone, which is a previous improvement on my previous attempts at listening to a fair chunk of music on a weekly basis since I finished Uni and started working full time… Course, I’ve got almost 2 hours of train time, and eight hours of work time in which to listen to my heart’s content, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

I’m finding myself running out of orgasmic, work wasting, fit inducing music, which is quite obvioulsy a smal issue..

Someone should suggest something which is Shanpod worthy, and by worthy, I mean something decent that I’m not going to be feel like I’m wasting my time on. Big ask?? So be it.
