I loved X Ray Spex. They made three of my all-time fave 45's (the 1st three), but at 30 quid for a non-original line-up I don't think I'll bother - as much as I'd love to see Poly sing those songs live.

I'm a relative newcomer to the mp3 player world, and though I love my ipod the one thing that bugs me is the volume levels. They're just not loud enough for the likes of us!

I got new ones for Christmas after a year of using the standard Apple-supplied set and these sit much more snugly in the ear canal, thereby blocking out extraneous noise.
