I’m not a big internet radio fan, but I’ll tune in every so often when all 80gb worth of tunes on the iPod seem to all suck. Oh you know those day. It turned out to be a blessing that the rental car in Seattle didn’t have an iPod adapter. Karen hit the scan button on the radio dash a few times before we landed on KEXP playing Peter Bjorn and John’s “Young Folks,” followed later on with an interview with Mando Diao, followed by some more rockin tunes. Like most public radio stations, the signal was pretty weak, but did last for most of the 2 and half hour drive out to Olympia National Park. Luckily their interweb signal is strong, and I can get KEXP back here in New York.

[KEXP 90.3FM]

Here are some pics from the Peter Bjorn and John show at Webster Hall last night. Opening the show were Au Revoir Simone, and Fujiya and Miyagi. Enjoy and find out why PBJ must be stopped!

Thanks to Applecare and my forced allegiance to Apple I’m on my third ipod in the last 12 months. Together, Karen and I have been through 5, well 6 if you count the one Danny handed (donated?) to me. Karen’s now sporting the 30gb video ipod and I’m on my third 40gb.

To continually waste valuable work resources, I’ve been doing the whole process of ripping cds and transferring to the ipods on the stellar, super faster G5 tower. 1547 songs in, I have another 30gb to go. Another 500 songs to go before the Ipod self destructs again.

Today’s cds to rip are:
1-X / Los Angeles
2-The Yardbirds / Greatest Hits
3-Laura Cantrell / Not the Tremblin’ Kind
4-The Promise Ring / The Horse Latitudes
5-Primal Scream / Screamadelica
6-Spiritualized / Ladies and Gentlemen We are Floating in Space
7-The Sea and Cake / The Biz
8-Elliott Smith / XO
9-Elliott Smith / Either/Or
10-The Specials / The Specials
