Wednesday, September 01, 2004      Hail Apple, Medulla and Bourne Crap

OK. I don't like their computers, or their website but I definitely like their service. I sent off my iPOD for service (after I'd sucked all the songs off it) and it took less than a week to get it delivered back to work. Its a fresh new one, so thats grand as my old was scratched to buggery. I've just completed the re-upload of the songs and its all happening for a return to The Tube with Tunes.

More iPOD stuff -- iPODlounge have the coolest feature - how to get WMAs onto your iPOD. I tested with a Muse Remix I found at work [we have a HUGE MP3 server at work] and it was flawless. Such good news, and now I can pilfer works drive even more!

And i can even add my new CDs to my 'POD - Sing For Absolution Dutch 3-disc and Bjork Medulla. More Muse, and [wow] is Medulla cool or not. I got sucked in and bought the SACD version and the DVD version yesterday. Primarily the DVD was for the 45 minute doco on the disc and if I could get the tunes of it onto my hard drive I was going to take the SACD back. No such luck or patience. So I cooked a nice beef coconut curry and sat down and watched the doco before I listened to the album. Details how it was made, and how it is a vocal album - hardly any instruments. Its quite unique in its sounds - but I do believe you have to be a Bjork fan to truly enjoy it. It can be pretty odd at times. And Bjork has a number of guest vocals on the album - including Mike Patton from Faith No More and Tomahawk fame so thats really cool.

Saw Bourne Supremacy tonight. Actually meant to catch Chronicles of Riddick but got 20 past 9 mixed up with 20 to 9, so I went to watch Matt Damon as it was a flick I wanted to see. I am pretty tired because of the mix of drugs and sickness, but I actually must say that this movie was pretty weak as it had me dozing off slightly. It has a few good bits [which are all really short], another cool car chase, but thats about it. Very disappointed actually. It just seemed like a filler for the third film [which they must be making soon].

So I'm still sick, it can't decide whether its a throat, sinus or chest infection at the moment. I'm stuffed up, I've consitently got a headache and I'm coughing up some beuaties while on the phone to friends who shouldn't be hearing that happen! Sorry x. Lets hope it all improves as I heard rumours for a nice weekend [it getting colder in the mornings already] as I really want to play tourist again.
