<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img decoding="async" width="175" height="175" style="float: right" alt="CD Cover of Damien Rice's 9" src="http://www.thepoetfire.com/wp-content/uploads/DamienRice9175x175.jpg" />Ever since I first hear “The Blower’s Daughter” in the trailer for Closer I knew that I was going to like Damien Rice. And then I heard “Delicate” at the end of an episode of Lost and I knew that I was really going to like Damien Rice.
Then I listened to his first CD, O. Wow. Quite possibly one of the best CDs ever.
So I’ve been waiting impatiently for his next CD. It’s been 4 years since O and finally his new CD is out. This is my absolute first impression of it, as I’m just listening to it now. I can say this about it so far:
The first song “9 Crimes” is one of the most hauntingly, despairingly beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Damien Rice’s voice mixed with Lisa Hannigan is about as perfect a mix as their is. I had to pull my car over just to listen to the song. It inspired a snippet of poetry that came out of nowhere and suddenly was on my lips. I had to dig and dig for paper and a pen to write it down before it disappeared. I got it though. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f600.png" alt="😀" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />
I’ll keep listening. Even if it’s not as great as O, it will still be amazing.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img decoding="async" src="http://www.thepoetfire.com/wp-content/uploads/MadonnaConfessions.jpg" width="175" height="175" alt="" title="" style="float: right;" />OK. I’m a Madonna fan. Always have been. From vogueing in the car while driving (you know who you are) to watching my friend Peter’s play using Madonna’s music while interpreting the Bible’s Song of Solomon, I’ve always been a fan. Haven’t been such a fan of her new stuff though. Too… preachy?
So when her new single came out (“Hung Up”) I was curious. Will this renew my faith in Madonna? (Seriously, her version of “American Pie” shook it.) So I’ve been listening to it. I’ve been hearing good reviews of the whole album too. Catchy. Dancey. Those are some of the terms being thrown around about it. 
 
But the hook in “Hung Up” is something I haven’t been able to get over. It’s been driving me nuts! I know I’ve heard it somewhere before! Where was it?
So I searched online. Found one news post about it saying that it possibly contained a sample of ABBA’s Ring, Ring. So I dug up a coupy of that song and listened. No dice.
Last night I was cataloging some new music I’d downloaded for perusal. I’d never been a fan of the A*Teens (something about knocking off ABBA just doesn’t seem right) but I’d picked up a couple of their songs when looking for some dance music.
As I was quickly looking through each track, deciding on if I liked it or not, I happened upon their cover of ABBA’s “Gimme, Gimme, Gimme.” And there it was. The hook from Madonna’s “Hung Up.” So I went to my ABBA songs and played “Gimme, Gimme, Gimme.” Sure enough, there it was, in all it’s glory.
So there it is. For the next person searching for what Madonna sampled on her new song “Hung Up.” It’s “Gimme, Gimme, Gimme” by ABBA.
P.S. I didn’t search extensively for this, so there’s probably 180,000,000 other people who have already said this. So what. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f600.png" alt="😀" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />

Fitzgerald will anoounce what’s going on in the aptly dubbed Treason-gate. Could be indictments, could be an extension of the grand jury. Could be everything but the kitchen sink. All I know is that if he announces that nothing is going to happen, the populace will rise up as one and slay him. At least that’s what I hear.
Oh, and the Merry Fitz-mas part I think is a nod to the Stephanie Miller show. Quite possibly the funniest politics show on the radio. Sorry Al Franken, but you don’t have a voice guy who does such a great Bush. “I like toast.”

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://www.thepoetfire.com/wp-content/uploads/iPodLust.jpg" width="175" height="175" alt="iPod Video" title="iPod Video" style="float: right;" /> 
I must admit, I am lusting after the new Video iPod. My current 10Gb Gen 2 iPod is getting a little long in the tooth.
Now some people (my wife included) wonder why I need a new iPod, or even why I’d want that much storage space? It’s simple. The new generation of iPods are about more than just music. 
 
I currently have about 30Gb of music stored. Do I listen to it all? No. Do I want to carry it all with me? No. Do I want the ability to listen to whatever my eclectic taste of the minute demands? Absolutely. I get that with my current iPod. But there’s more to it.
Apparently, there has been discussion within Apple and even proof-of-concept work done on a feature for Mac OS X called iPod On Home (or some similar variation). What this means is that you could store your entire Home directory (Mac OS X is set up in a UNIX configuration, where everything that pertains to you, i.e. bookmarks, documents, pictures, are all stored in your Home directory) on your iPod. Big deal right, you can do that now. But what this feature allows is for you to plug your iPod in to any computer running Mac OS X with the iPod On Home feature on it, and your Home directory is available to you in its entirety. I think this is a killer feature. And if they were to set it up so that it was available on both Mac and Windows… holy hell.
Next is the obvious offering of video on this iPod. Music videos, TV shows, home movies… but nothing about big screen flicks. I personally don’t care much about the movie aspect of this (although the screen looks to be absolutely stunning). What I am interested in is the fact that this generation of the iPod is a test. Steve Jobs has publically stated that he thinks video on handheld devices is not that important at the moment. Why? Screens are too small, battery life isn’t long enough, a handheld device cannot simulate the experience of seeing a movie in a theater or your own home theater like listening to music on the iPod can. But people have been clamoring for a video iPod for so long, I think this is Job’s way of testing the waters. And if this works, and they see enough interest, when he goes to the movie studios to talk about licensing movies, he will have a lot of the chips on his side of the table. The iTunes music store is wildly successful. Can’t be too hard to turn it into a movie distribution application as well. If the video iPod also does well, he can offer that as well (but I’m sure that if the video iPod goes Hollywood, we’ll see a dramatic change in the way it looks. Think more along the lines of the PSP.)
So like I said, I’m lusting after one of these.
