S*T*U*F*F* Reloaded

So am I the only one who was disappointed by the MacWorld keynote speech by Steve Jobs of Apple? Well, I suppose its not every year you can release the iPhone, but seriously, releasing the MacBook Air, something that is thinner, smaller and lighter than anything else is more like average Japanese manufacturer marketing material. It will date very quickly, and although it is quite an engineering feat now, I can’t help thinking its just another computer. I didn’t feel like that when I saw the PowerBook for the first time, or the iMac, iPod or indeed the iPhone… something about those products just had magic, an other-wordly creative mystery about them. Like when the Beatles released “Sgt. Pepper”, you suddenly realised “So THAT’s what they’ve been doing all this time!!”

Anyway, I’ll get over it. But I was hoping they’d produce something really special. Sorry - the MacBook Air is cute, but I will never own one.

Get your ass over to iTunes to download Leo Abraham’s single with KT Tunstall - I can’t believe its on there!!! Brilliant, and the best of luck to that amazing person who makes me fluctuate between wanting to give up and never wanting to do anything other than music on an almost daily basis.

Also, I added a short and daft video of my friend Conor eating a burning Pringle on YouTube. It was recorded on an old mobile so quality isn’t exactly broadcast… Bye for now.
