First of all a bit of shameless self indulgent promotion, you can now get the latetst Remergence album for only $5 (£3.42) from CDBaby, but you must hurry as this is for a limited time only. Please support our music

Happy Holidays

I’ve been waiting for the Apple iPhone to come out as Pay & Go and now the opportunity is here for me to get one!

The iPhone 3G has fast 3G wireless technology, GPS, support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G puts even more amazing features in your hands. And just like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one — a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device.

So I’m off to see how much cash I’ve got left for Christmas and see if I can get myself one

New iPod Classic 120GB

I upgraded from my 2nd generation 8GB iPod Nano to the new 120GB iPod Classic the other day, ok so 8GB sounded a lot at the time, but when you have a massive collection of CDs it just doesn’t cut it!

The iPod nano is great for the small collection, but the new 120GB iPod Classic is more for me, it’s boasts that you can fit 30,000 tracks and upto a massive 150 hours of video, but you have to take into consideration that the 30,000 tracks is at a 128kbps and an average of four minutes a track, I know I’ve used 14GB so far that’s with over 250 photos and 2600+ tracks, but some of the track are recorded in 256kbps (which is now what iTunes+ uses) and taking into consideration that some tracks are well over four minutes, such as the classic Yes album Relayer and a collection of Tangerine Dream albums where the tracks are mostly over ten minutes at least.
