I only knew twelve, and I'm guessing I'm around his age.

Talk about generation gap, I only recognize three of your twenty tunes. You've got the idea though, take along songs you love and that, presumably, you've heard so often you know exactly how they sound on your system. Then when the show is over, you'll have an idea what new component(s) to lust after.

Counting Stevie Wonder, I recognize 1 of those names. I guess that qualifies me as a knuckle dragger.

Oops, I missed Earth, Wind and Fire. I'm evolving slowly.

Stephen, you do KNOW Sony is watching...and listening. They probably have a guy, the one in the trench coat," right behind you. Don't be paranoid. He is the one that has the baseball hat on with the ""DRM-Rocks"" logo on it. I didn't say they were smart!.Tim Allen said"," The only reason man is still not walking around with his nuckles dragging the ground is that somebody put beer on the top shelf. Have a great CES. Now that you have wetted your high-end appetite you'll know what to look for. If you find any Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Flux Bridge Adaptor cordless headphones let me know. My hearing is not quite what it used to be. My ""treatments"" on my GSIC disc has run out and I think it is cheaper to adjust myself from now on.

>Not the Stars song I would have picked. It's really not the Stars song I would have picked, either, but it's just that I've used all of the other songs off of Set Yourself on Fire on other mixes. I reviewed the album for the print magazine a few months ago. Definitely one of my favorites for the year.
