The Beastie Boys as jazz? ;( are you sure your not talking about the Boogie Boys, wait that is also old school rap.  HAHAHA!! You get points, that's an obscure reference to the one hit wonders who brought us "Fly Girl"!

So I was listening to my iPod at work today with over 600 songs to choose from in shuffle mode and up pops a Beatles tune from the One album and even with the little ear buds it just sounded great. Imaging was much wider than the rest of what I was listening to and I remembered an article about the Beatle being pioneers in multi-track (though I believe the credit really goes to Les Paul) and stereo music. I thought, I've got to play this at home. Some tracks are better than others, but what a huge soundstage, vocals were well over 180 degrees around me while still being able to pinpoint instruments in about a 90 degree range in front of me. Most enjoyable!

Let's see--Jacques Lasseter Trio (sp?) doing Bach, then Metallica-Breadfan, then Peter, Paul, and Mary-Weave Me the Sunshine.
Gotta love shuffle on an iPod...
That said, I've never heard Breadfan sound like that--probably the first time it's come up on the M80s. Pretty damn cool.

Tonight it's......Robin Trower: Neptune Rising. A 1995 import cd, of live '73 recordings. The sound quality is poor, but not too bad sounding on my computer (Philips M60 mini-me's) speakers.

Not listening on my main system yet, as I've only heard her on MySpace, but Kate Nash. One of my friends had a song of hers on her profile, and I liked it. I saw that Regina Spektor was listed as an influence, and according to Wikipedia, she's actually stated that Regina is her biggest influence. Soooooo she has taste. Ha ha ha. But yeah, that was yesterday that I listened to her for the first time, and then just a little bit ago Regina Spektor posted a new blog entry where she mentions Kate Nash and says how great she is.
I ordered her album, so hopefully it's as good as my initial impression.
