iPod Movie

2 Comments


AppleInsider is reporting (as some others are) that Apple Computer has begun production of a new version of its iPod digital music player that will be capable of playing videos, AppleInsider has learned.

Reliable sources believe the iPod could be introduced as early as next week, possibly around the time Apple releases results from its fourth fiscal quarter of 2005.

Although details are scarce, sources who claim to have seen the new iPod describe it as being similar to Apple’s 60GB iPod photo player, but several millimeters thinner.

The device reportedly sports a smaller click-wheel akin to that of the iPod nano’s, making way for a larger, higher-resolution color display that extends further down the face of the device.

The release of the iPod video is expected to be accompanied by a “major update” to Apple’s iTunes music store that will include a significant number of music videos and other short video content.

Apple, which had been updating the “Music Video” segment of its iTunes download service on a regular basis, stopped posting new music video content last month, leading to speculation that a major content update was brewing.

Wasted On The Young

Hey, I was just thinking that maybe you don’t need to waste
Some of the best days of your lives, trying so hard to abide
By some preset list of rules
Talking about conviction
When you haven’t even been convinced of anything yet
Just stressing about letting down all your friends
It’s like having your mom pick out your clothes for you
You’re still too young to know where you stand on anything yet
And there is nothing wrong with that
It might be kinda fun to get to know yourself a little while
Take a left at every fork, stare into every cloud
On the journey to find what’s in your heart the only thing to be united
with is that pulsing in your veins
But seriously, fuck all that for a while
What’s the point of being a kid
If you are not gonna run wild and break every stupid rule
Even the ones that make those bands seem cool
You might as well hang out at church

Mark my words
There’s still so much that you have yet to learn

Your strongest beliefs the ones that will see you through
Will come to you when least expected
They can’t be forced, will not be shaped to fit
Truth does not come when called
And if you’re only young once and these days, they move fast
Why would you waste one second of them
Falling in line, following rules
It sounds so simple but I know it’s fucking hard

It’s gonna take a little while to find out exactly who you are
But then maybe the day won’t come
When you have to turn your back
One all those things that you once stood for
Left behind like some old pile of shirts
I’ve seen it happen so many times before
Spit in the face of a sacred oath
That some of us took when ready

“Why on earth would I want to listen to something that’s been fabricated and polished up and sold to me by corporations that are ultimately answering to larger corporatiosns that have nothing to do with music? Let’s just say it-music is not the bottom line for these people. The point is I’m coming at this from a whole different angle.”

The new Spin has an amazing interview with Ian… not worth the purchase since its about a page, but go to Barnes & Noble and give it a read.


Also in this Spin is a pic of Danger Mouse wearing a Neutral Milk Hotel shirt. Amazing. There is rumor of Danger Mouse x Neutral Milk Hotel remixes…
