Need a DVD burner?
Pros: Lightscribe
Cons: a tad bulky
I was in desperate need of DVD burner. There are many external DVD models for Mac's. Being I had a Lacie 250 gig external hard drive that has not failed me this was a great addition. It also has a option for printing labels on the CDs. ...

I think I was put into a coma
Pros: has pictures...
Cons: no story development
This book is like reading something out of the childrens section of the bookstore.
It has large wood cut illustrations and equally as large type. The chapters are 2 pages long. And being 140 pgs into the 200 pg novel I feel like I know nothing about the character, but that's okay because the character knows nothing too.
I guess everyone has to have a dud in their portfolio. ... -

Cure meets Gang of Four 25 years later
Pros: Danceable
Cons: There is this one track...
I found this album while crusing the racks at a Barnes and Noble of all places. Every once in a while I grab a stack of CDs and listen to the samples until I find something I like. This was one of those.
I had recently been listening to Gang of Four, Interpol, Joy Division, as well as other retro favorites and sound a likes. This fit right into this category.
Tracks I would recommend are: House of Jealous Lovers and Infatuation.
The second to last track is by far one of the absolute worse songs I have ever heard. So skip it. In fact I have iTunes set up so it will never play that song.
This is a great CD for driving real fast at night with bright lights or in the club.
I have seen the Rapture live. And I'm sure I would have been more enthused to see them if there hadn't of been 3 opening acts to sleep through. By the time the Rapture came on my ears hurt and I was ready for bed at 12:30 AM. But their performance was just as enthustiastic as their indie-retro pop influences. And lets not forget their cool Rolling Stone hair cuts to boot! ...
Unmistaken, The male Austrid gilberto
Pros: Lounge
Cons: Might make you drowsy
Now, I had seen Buffalo 66 and had no idea that Gallo had composed the score for that film, in fact I had no idea he had any musical talent. So I bought the album When and it is one of the most wonderful pieces of music I own. ...
