Bayerworld - The Rantings of Craig Bayer

Play Music on your computer using your IPOD

I have a lot of music and video files that sit on a file server at my house.  Therefore when I leave, I do not have access to them.  I do always carry my 80gb Ipod with me.  If set my 80gb  ipod to manual mode when hooked into Itunes, I can play music and videos through it.

I don't go to Concerts, but...

As the title says I don't go to concerts.  I don't typically enjoy going to bars to see bands, because I like to meet and talk to people.  I do like to dance but that is another story.  Anyway, I am going to see two of my favorite bands in the upcoming months.  The Killers will be playing at End Fest in Baton Rouge on  April 14th and Modest Mouse will be playing at the House of Blues in New Orleans on May 8th.  I think that the Killer's Sam's Town was easily the Album of the year for 2006.  I would be ready to crown Modest Mouse's We Were already Dead Before the Ship Sank as my 2007 pick if not for Arcade Fire's Neon Bible.  Arcade Fire is not coming anywhere near us on their tour dates but you should check them out.

 

Clark send me this article about Modest Mouse's new effort. 

The Killers are coming to Baton Rouge

The Killers will be playing at X Fest on April 14th at the Baton Rouge River Center.  You can get tickets The Killers.

My hypocrisy knows no bounds IPod

So guess what I am asking for Christmas?  An IPod Gen 5.5 80 GB.  This after I went on a huge rant about how I would never buy from Apple again and how they sucked.  Well, after I calmed down here is the throught process that changed my mind:

• The $100 FM modulator for my Ipod that I own.
• The $30 Sports Kit for the Ipod
• The $40 in software programs for the Ipod.
• Itunes is pretty easy and awsome.
• 80 GB v 30 GB for the Zune (Can put my whole music collection and a lot of videos on the Ipod)
• UnDRMing all of my Itunes music.  (Probally about 20 albums and a lot of tv shows)
• Going up to Jimmy Pell and making fun of his 40 GB Ipod.  (Jimmy made fun of my 30GB ipod)
• The fact that I sold my broken Ipod on ebay for $130
• The fact that the Ipod is only $350

This time I am getting the warranty.  I still think what apple did sucks but they still have the best product on the market as of now.
