Ipod/MP3 magic on the move....

[Brendan]

Or get one of these to follow you around:

Is that the Ramones Brendan? Aren't they (mostly) dead?

[Jeremy]

They are basically dead, yes. To be fair, it is remarkable they lasted as long as they did.

[Jah Lush]

All dead apart from the drummer and he just looks dead.

Err....feck headphones and MP3s and blinking ipods. Vinyl, a decent amp and speakers is the way forward.

[giggirl]

Brendan, I'm with you in theory on this one. I don't want dead people though. Could I have those nice JLS boys to follow me everywhere? Do you think they might help with carrying shopping from the Co-Op and such? If I asked nicely?

[Brendan]

Yes but the people they worked with spent hundreds of millions of dollars every year getting the sound exactly right.

[HonaloochieB]

You can get half of the Clash to follow you round, but only if you're Damon Albarn.

[Brendan]

There are bonuses to having the Ramones follow you around instead of carrying an ipod. They can carry shopping, hail cabs as well as play your own specific leitmotif whenever you enter a room.

1) Wind up gramaphone

2) Velvet cushion

3) A punt

4) A picnic hamper with plovers eggs

Mobile, luxurious and with decent sound quality. Problem solved.

[Brendan]

Yeah but a bugger to get through Victoria Station at rush hour.

[giggirl]

Brendan - get with the programme honey - the Ramones are brown bread. So I'm guessing JLS was a no. Shame. They seem like nice boys and there are so many jobs around the house I could get them to do.

[Brendan]

Lies and nonsense. I listened to them this morning.

Gabba gabba hey

dum deed dum

hey ho.

If the Ramones are otherwise engaged perhaps one of the more well regarded Ramones Core bands will suffice.

I?ve not heard of The JLF. Don?t they sell tracksuits?

[giggirl]

Well I wasn't suggesting JLS on artistic merit (obviously). I was merely saying that if I had to be followed round by a band, I would like something easy on the eye. If Joey Ramone (or lookey likey) starts following me anywhere I shall run off screaming blue murder and probably start a thread about "undesirables lurking in ED" on this very forum.

[Brendan]

Oh well if the reason is lech then you may of course have whomsoever you choose so. So long as they can give a decent gabba gabba hey as this is essential for high resolution, bass driven, 3d sound quality.

In which case I think I may employ the Sheila?s of ?bonza car insurance deals!? fame.

[njc97]

JLS have the same problem as ipods - they sound rubbish.

Brendan, if it's a good "gabba gabba heh" you want:

[giggirl]

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS OK. But they look good whilst they sound rubbish. If someone is following me around I'll go for eye candy over artistic merit. Those are my terms.

[Brendan]

I think what you mean is Skull Candy.

I thought they were the junior KLF.

[giggirl]

KLF - money to burn

[Brendan]

Money talks - AC/DC

[giggirl]

Money for Nothing - Dire Straits

[Brendan]

My brain hurts screaching weasel.

Are You There God? It's Me, Maragaret - Mr T Experience

[mockney piers]

My favourite line in the reviews was

?We can make bad coffee warm but it?s still bad coffee,?

[MrBen]

Well until they invent GOOD coffee Mockney what's a man to do? Listening is believing.....

GigGirl - Happy to let you road test these (fresh ear buds ;-))
