Stay away from these kits for your iPod. It's simply too easy to turn 'em into toast with one click of the switch. It's back to the portable CD player for me for things like walks and my upcoming plane trip. Converting CDs over to the i Pod is a time consuming drag, anyway. I think I'll stay in the twentieth century with the jogproof player and CD wallet. - --Mark **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.

I recall that at least a half-dozen of us walked down to the Blind Pig to see you guys on the Lolita Nation tour. Quite simply, your record was being played on WCBN (the university station in Ann Arbor) and no one was playing it in Detroit. Anyone who was plugged in enough to college radio of the time would have rolled the easy 30 miles to Ann Arbor from Detroit to see you, anyway. -d.w.

What stands out about it, Rog? I dunno. It just resonated with me more than anything they've done for awhile. I'd say it's a return to short, catchy songs, but I'm not sure they ever really got away from that. My favorite song on it is "Climbing The Walls".

One of my favorite memories was a show there and it started snowing, which was quite beautiful. College radio...sigh.... There was a funny moment on my first LF tour, when I asked how come we aren't playing any college towns? Duh. I soon learned....
