Busted
I was listening to my iPod rather loud with my uber in-ear-can’t-hear-anything-else headphones on my way out of the office and was bouncing about a bit while waiting for the lift as I was rather partial to the track being played, turned round and noticed I was not alone
I’ve rather gotten into the habit of walking round the house with my headphones in and have a tendency to dance about like a loon, but I may have to curb this habit if it’s going to spill over into public places. I do love the effect my music has on others though:
Her: <unheard due to headphones still being in>… What are you listening to?
Me: Combichrist
Her: I won’t ask…
Right, off to play guitar hero and then go to bed. Toodles ![]()




I sense that if you played this well it might turn into a technique for entering into more than three sentence relationships.
Her: I wont ask…
You: It’s this very cool band which has a lot to say about the state of life today.
Her: Wow that sounds interesting, please tell me more, perhaps we should go to a bar?
Oh, the conversation continued after on other topics, such as how did my zoo photography go, since I do know the girl and we do talk when we bump into each other. The chances of her coming out for a drink wouldn’t be that low, but I suspect her boyfriend might object if it was anything more than a social thing.
Combichrist have very little to say on the state of life today, the lyrical content chosen more for shock value than anything else.
Wait, do you have an ipod and iPhone?
I’ve got an iPhone, iPod nano and iPod shuffle. I sold my iPod video when I got the iPhone. I don’t really use the nano any more, however, should anything happen to the iPhone it’ll get pressed into service. The shuffle gets used at the gym. I refer to my iPhone as an iPod when I’m just talking about listening to music or watching video due, in part, to the reaction of some (or should I say one
) staunch anti iPhone person at work. He’s so against iPods and iPhones that he wants to get a brown Zune in protest [side note: never actually seen a Zune being used, ever]. I also view the iPhone as an iPod touch with telephone and mobile data built in so calling an iPod is like saying ‘my car’ and calling an iPhone is like saying ‘my Aston Martin DB9′ 
I concur - it’s important to refer to an iPhone as an iPod from time to time. It solves the problem of oiks going “ooh, an iPhone, let’s have a look.”
Having a nano as a backup is also very important. And also for use in a car where plugging an iPhone into an iPod adaptor is often greeted by “oi, this accessory hasn’t been tested with the iPhone and it’ll probably mess with the cars electronics, so please put it in airplane mode.”
