In the CD(mp3) player....

Manny, did you ever check out Todd Snider? I expect he'd be one of your favorites.

And while I've got your attention, I asked you your opinion on Love Battery a couple of months ago and never got a reply. I assume you have heard of them (early 90s Seattle grunge).

[MannyIsGod]

I've never heard of Love Battery although I do remember your question. I'll check them out along with Sneider.

Recently I've been listening to a lot of stuff I'm ashamed to admit I hadn't listened to before thanks to Jess.

I dig Seal, my favorite song is Crazy.

He is my favorite singer. The man has a beautiful voice.

[Guru of Nothing]

According to allmusic, Love Battery is similar to Screaming Trees (one of my favorite bands ever). I was just looking for a second opinion. I'll just take the plunge and buy a CD or 2.

Todd Snider will float your boat, I guarantee it [/George Zimmerman]

I have more HDD space than I know what to do with, so my entire collection is going to MP3. Hitting "shuffle" makes for some nice eclectic mixes.

[MannyIsGod]

I dig the Screaming Trees, let me know how good Love Battery is.

"Talkin' Seattle Grunge Rock Blues"

Hey, hey, my, my
Rock n’ roll will never die
Just hang your hair down in your eyes
You’ll make a million dollars
Well, I was in this band goin’ nowhere fast
We sent out demos but everybody passed
So one day we finally took the plunge
Moved out to Seattle to play some grunge
Washington state that is...
Space needle, Eddie Vedder
Mudhoney
Now to fit in fast we wear flannel shirts
We turn our amps up until it hurts
We’ve got bad at udes and what’s more
When we play we stare straight down at the floor
Woweee! Pretty scary
How pensive
How totally alternative
Now to fit in on the Seattle scene
You’ve got to do something they ain’t never seen
So thinkin’ up a gimmick one day
We decided to be the only band that wouldn’t play a note
Under any cir stances
Silence...
Music’s original alternative
Root’s grunge
Well we spread the word through the underground
That we were the hottest new thing in town
The record guy came out to see us one day
And just like always we didn’t play
It knocked him out
He said he loved our work
He said he loved our work, but he wasn’t sure if he could
Sell a record with nothing on it
said tell ‘em we’re from Seattle
He advanced us two and half million dollars
Hey, hey, my, my
Rock n’ roll will never die
Hang your hair down in your eyes
You’ll make a million dollars
Well they made us do a video but that wasn’t tough
Cause we just filmed ourselves smashing stuff
t’s kind of weird ‘cause there was no music
But MTV said they’d love to use it
The kids went wild, the kids went nuts
Rolling Stone gave us a five star review
Said we played with guts
We’re scoring chicks, taking drugs
Then we got asked to play MTV Unplugged
You should have seen it
We went right out there and refused to do acoustical versions
of the electrical songs that we had refused to record in the first place
Then we smashed our
Well we blew ‘em away at the Grammys show
By refusing to play and refusing to go
And then just when we thought fame would last forever
Along come this band that wasn’t even together
Now that’s alternative
Now that’s alternative to alternative
feel stupid...and contagious
Well our band got dropped and that ain’t funny
Cause we’re all hooked on drugs but we’re outta money
So the other day I called up the band
said boys I’ve taken all I can
Shave off your goatees, pack the van
We’re going back to Athens...

I think it's more practical to get a deck that plays MP3 cds. Don't they have new decks with direct connections to IPODS or is that still just a BMW thing?

This is an interface that connects your ipod to your car stereo as a CD changer.

They also make mp3 HDD players for cars.

I have a Kenwood MusicKeg in my car it's quite easy to transfer music from the iPod to the MusicKeg but the playlist software and interface of the iPod is superior to the MusicKeg, the nice thing is that it seats in the trunk and is very discreet (not inviting to burglars). I think it can work also with non Kenwood CD changers.
