Rub Wrongways on Itunes

I've spent a few months now with my first Ipod (my 100th Walkman). Mine is a beetle green nano and I think it's becoming my daemon. I've noticed that when I want to turn it off, if it is in my pocket and I press and hold the button, it doesn't respond. If I take it out and look at it and think "I am turning you off" while holding the button, it responds and the screen silently exhales and goes black.

I enjoy the size and the feel and the ease of the thing. I wish I had imported a few of the songs at a higher quality level but for the most part I don't mind the sound quality. I do not however, use the earbuds. I'm not fond of those. I have some nicer small over-the-ear phones that my brother gave me a while back.

Anyway, I was messing around a little in Itunes last night after I was alerted that the new Sitting Next To Brian album is now available there, and I thought I'd just remind everyone of the Rub Wrongways Titles that are currently available for download from Itunes. Also, feel free to write a review of any of these or make a playlist with them on Itunes. Or, you know, if you have a friend who works there - tell them to make us the track of the day or something. Thanks.

Look how fancy I am, I included the album covers and everything.

Sounds a little more like an alethiometer, to me.

Hi Ning. I too succumbed to the iPod lure before going to London this September and am glad I got one. I purchased the Shuffle and I love it. I do recommend sacrificing quantity for quality in the file type; you'll notice the improvement. It's my third "walkman" -- I still own and use my original tape-only Walkman, and my Discman CD player, but the little Shuffle is a riot. And yes, I despise the earbuds and use a pair of Sony'phones instead.
