In which you can download some free MP4s, if’n you wanna.
I’m doing tedious server management stuff today, so I’ve got my Sony earphones in my head — the ones NLW had me buy, like, a year ago, the ones I never used until I figured out I should bring them to work and plug them into my tower here; I never used them because they’re the in-ear phones and while they’re high fidelity they only work if you’re not moving around AT ALL because they transfer all movement directly into your eardrum — but the point is that I’ve been listening to iTunes most of the day.
Mainly I’m geeking on Magnet (which is all Sean‘s fault, that evil bitch heartless bastard). If you find you’ve got an urge to geek along with me, hit Magnet’s site at homeofmagnet.com and scroll down until you see the Download section (in the left column).
The track in particular that I obsessed over all weekend is called Heaviest Heart – you should download it. And then you should just go ahead and download the rest of the free tracks offered since you’re already there.
I love his voice, btw.
It’s ambient meets the Beatles meets Todd Rundgren in a melodic, ballady mood meets Hird meets electronica meets acoustic. Yeah yeah, so maybe the material’s a little moody and introspective but it matches my mood today and I like it. (Plus, the end of Hold On is *so* Todd-on-Healing that I can hardly stand myself.)

I’ve been found!!!!!
Yes, well, I prefer to be called a heartless bastard–I’m not much of a bitch.
Glad to know you’re digging Magnet. I’m not terribly familiar with Todd Rundgren, so I can’t speak for his ‘sound-alike-ability’. Still, I find his songwriting intelligent and warm.
Hope things are great in your world.
S!
Okay, have it your way: edited from ‘evil bitch’ to read ‘heartless bastard.’ I aim to please. -m
in-ear earphones are great for sound quality but then they hurt my ears after leaving them inside of me for so long…. *blush*
Inside. Heh. -m
If’n?
Details, please.
Hey, I’ve travelled. I pick things up. -m
In-the-ear buds are being found to cause accelerated hearing loss in lots of folks, even youngsters like you guys, since they are almost directly connected to the ear drum.
Don’t use them for music. Don’t use them period.
I have spoken.
