BIG APPLE: Broadcasting live and wireless from a Big Apple Starbucks, I am. A quick meeting in the city, then back out to LaGoo.

I've been iPod crazy of late, rippin' 10 GBs inside of a month. On random, here are the next ten songs that come up:

"Mister Butterfly," The Aluminum Group

"Night Air," Tortoise

"Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon," Queen

"Save You," The Pulsars

"Hey Ya!" Outkast

"Kije's Ouija," The Free Design

"High on the Chalk," The High Llamas

"Ms. Lazarus," Hum

"Smiley," The Hangups

"You Take Me Up," The Thompson Twins

You gotta love it!

Funny thing: After an hour in Starbucks, I've noticed they play some great music. So why can't I "grab" a song or two out of the ethers and pull 'em down onto my music device? I'm sitting here with a live wireless connection, they've got billing info on me. I should be able to find out who played the last track (a great, burning Americana ballad) and, if I want, buy the darn thing here and now. And I can't. Heck, I can't even get the baristas to find out who it was. Silly baristas.
