I am a total Sound Slut.
And right now I just cannot be physically separated from all that is Sonic on the iPod that Momma Santa Claus gave me for Christmas. She knows her music junkie daughter well.
When my old MP3 Player was nicked in Jordan I spent roughly 6 months without adequate tunes and had to slowly start building up my music library from scratch.
Thankfully all my records are safely tucked away at home in my good friend's basement and I miss my collection of CDs and vinyl intensely, even started dreaming about them (once the basement flooded in my dreams and I felt bereft and soundless)
So I was very taken aback when this heavy gleaming iPod awaited me upon arrival in N-Ireland. I have never owned anything of the i-Persuasion and I am oddly technophobic at times. But then I loaded ALL of the music on it. We are talking a lotta tunes. As an eclectic sounds lover/music collector I had been fanatically gathering up all music that I love to compensate for my musical loss six months ago.
Holy crap.This iPod has Mucho storage capacity. There is almost room left for another track! And with my partially upcycled headphones on I am deftly sidestepping the mounds of dogshit on the Irish sidewalks in tune with one of Chopin's piano concerto compositions; neatly bouncing through the Grocer's isles to the beat of Orishas; grooving the grocery basket along with the voice of Linton Kwesi Johnson and falling asleep to soothing tracks by Mercan Dede. Just add a HUGE sigh of happiness here.
My mother got the iPod engraved for me and right under the part that has my full name printed it also reads:
'Please don't steal me'

Yikes, did my basement flood? I'm so sorry, hope all your music (disco) is safe ;-) Miss you, friend!
