I know this isn't exactly what you were talking about, but this is just another way mp3 players, even with the many benefits, have taken away from the music experience. I wouldn't ever turn my mp3 player in and i couldn't live without it, but sometimes its good to take a step back.

Exactly, Moni. I'm not saying that your iPod should be kindling for the next Bonfire of the Vanities, but that the listener experience has changed dramatically and taking that step back can be a good way to re-familiarize yourself with your favorite songs.

@Rohit, email me too if you get a chance.

For the car, i went back to CD’s. Having 1,000 songs made it too easy to skip songs. Now i get whole albums again and listen to the whole CD. I don’t skip tracks on the whim like i do on my Ipod since a typical cd only has 15 tracks. Its much easier to appreciate an artist and the album this way. For a while, i’d download the whole cd, give each track a few listens, and throw 2-3 onto my ipod.

@rohit - How'd you find out about her?

In 2003-07 I spent a lot of time playing cards in London. I got to know a fair number of djs, many of them desi...I already had a sizable vinyl collection so there were a lot of musical secrets to go around.

@Nagaland - We didn't get to Opeth yet, but I think we left off with the Chiefs. (Email me so we can nerd out further.) I'm a proud West Coaster, and one Bollywood Night is too many for me, so you'll have to hitch your wagon to a star and go West if you want to see me drop beats.

@rohit - How'd you find out about her? Did she get you with her whip? I found her when researching some of Puff Daddy's beats. Maybe a post on obscure desi hip hop samples is in order.

@Radhika - I believe it.

yessir, i believe we covered Opeth as well. Do you spin on the east coast? once my city decides brown is sexy, and has more than one bollywood night at sharty hipster bars, the demand will be there…

“@rohit – Dude, I was considering doing a post on Asha. I’ll be happy to take any records of hers you won’t be needing off of your hands.”

No doubt! A true original…Her stuff isn’t too rare…it is getting harder to find year by year though.

Am I the only one who still believes that MJ was innocent? OK, so the dedication is slightly creepy, but still. He was a messed up man who genuinely felt he was reliving his childhood, at least imo.

@Nandalal Rasiah - Nagaland, is that you? If so, we must talk Primus.

@rohit - Dude, I was considering doing a post on Asha. I'll be happy to take any records of hers you won't be needing off of your hands.

@bess Sing it, sister!

@oy ve It must suck having Lumbergh for a boss.

@Darth Paul I added the humor tag so you won't have an apoplexy the next time you read something on the internet that may not be factually correct.

@Herb Save your stamps. The Poonjabi Postal Service is notoriously bad.

@Mardar - Finally, someone who read the post and understands its gist!

Nice--it all started with a fan letter. Wonder what I'd get if I wrote DJDP a fan letter...[Cackles.]

Thereafter they lived happily.

Is MJ’s “relationship” with kids a surprise?? If only he had remained in touch, there would’ve followed an invitation to Neverland… for a sleep-over…
