This one’s from NPR critics. One benefit from this effort is I’m rediscovering some gems from early in the year. Cool!!

Update: Interesting that Lacy’s notes start off with the bane of my jazz existence: “Just because you’re not a drummer, doesn’t mean that you don’t have to keep time.” Guilty as charged! Always working on that…

Highly recommended!

Assuming that’s true, my hunch is that more money is spent on iPod peripherals than is spent on competing (non-iPod) MP3 players.“ Wow!

Excellent review of Apple’s iPod strategy. BTW, John Gruber mostly focuses on Apple, but his Daring Fireball is perhaps the most well-written blog I’ve come across. Given that he publishes every once in a while, it’s also a stellar argument for quality over quantity. Check it out!
