Does life immitate MTV, or does MTV immitate life?

Just what the title says

I always found that interested in learning... but I don't have an ear for music...

I'm making a list of old (before '90s, specially '80s) love songs. But I'm sure that I haven't heard a lot of them. So if you have some songs that you recommend, please let me know.

Everyone seems to be talking about iPods and it's really starting to get old. Every second story on digg.com and slashdot, gizmodo etc. is about iPods and they are just not that good of an mp3 player for the price you pay. I'm sure i'll get a lot of crap for saying this but i don't care it's time someone said something. here is a quick list of reason why iPods are ****. br /br / 1. itunes, why should i need software installed on my computer just to move music on and off my mp3 player. My generic brand or the older irivers had the right idea, using the file system to arrange tracks. This means it just comes up like any other drive, you put file on it and if they are of a supported format you can play them. br /br / 2. Non standard batteries, why??? if my mp3 player runs out at the train station i want to be able to go and buy some batteries. also anything with an inbuilt battery will never work that well after a year. br /br / 3. I need a cable to plug it into my compuer, this is such an annoying feature, it just means that if i want to use my ipod as a hard drive or plug it into a computer it means i have to carry around a cable with me which is ironically larger than the nano itself. br /br / so rather than getting an iPod have a look around at some of the other stuff on the market. personally i like the cheap small generic brand mp3 players. They don't have heaps of space but 1 gig is fine if you switch around your songs regularly and they are so cheap(about $80 australian) that it doesn't matter if you lose they have all the features mentioned above that are missing in ipods.

I have been playing guitar for a while. I can only read tablature. Do you think its a good idea for me to start learning standard notation?

What is your favorite Extra Blue Kind song from their Tide And The Undertow album? Make Yourself Useless You Came Crashing Out Of My Hands Art Of The Disconnect Lipstick Trails Turn Our Only Appeal Atmosphere Holiday Keep Me Around Pinch, Blink, Stay Alive Sugar

I have one, and I ask myself this question everyday.

Key features I'm looking for include: a rechargable battery, one that'll hold its place in songs when turned off, and one that can be used in Linux.

I want to download mp3 of Incubus artist's "Make yourself" song. But could not find any place to get it for free. Where can i get it for free over internet?

I've been playing guitar for some time now, but I still can't quite manage an e-minor shape barre chord. The g string always buzzes. I've tried moving my hand around, readjusting my index finger, etc. but nothing seems to work. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks

I've seen a bunch of free iPod sites that are legit

Now that we all know Payola in the music industry is alive and well, should people/labels who utilize payola to influence the system go to jail?

Have anyone got any details on this? I heard the title track on the radio this morning. And i went looking for thier new album, but all i could find was a DVD... Didnt put a lot research to it though. You guys have any ideas?

Hi, There was a song a few years back that Ray Charles did most of the vocales for, but the song was not listed as his. In the music video, he was sitting on a park bench. Some of the lyrics mentioned giving up credit cards (or something like that). Anybody remember the title?

and what's the reference?

I'm a big fan of Insane Clown Posse and Matthew Ebel.  What other performers do people like who aren't exactly mainstream?

Going to see our first outdoor concert at an amphitheater with grass-area gen admission.  Any tips for making the most of this experience?

I think almost the entire Counting Crows - August and Everything After album should have been packaged with razorblades.  What are your favorite sad or depressing songs?

I have a total battery failure in my iPod mini: I fully charge it, it dies withing a 10 second span (with message and ugly battery with exclamation mark sign). 

I want to replace it on my own.  Is there a place in
