Kokomo Wednesday

Kokomo Wednesday

On the train this morning, a pretty girl sitting directly in front of me, with a large purse in her lap, and connected to it, an iPod. Earbuds to her pretty, little ears letting loose the music, the most appalling of all songs ever to hit the Top 40: The Beach Boys' "Kokomo."

When John Atkinson reviewed Sonos's original <a href=" http://www.stereophile.com/budgetcomponents/1006sonos/index.html">ZP80 Bundle</a>, he fell in love with the company's CR100 controller which uses a full-color, 3.5" LCD screen to provide easy navigation of music files on up to 16 network devices and displays all the metadata associated with each track, including album art.

The Yardbirds' version of "Train Kept A-Rollin'" has been sharing space in my mind with Outkast's "Ms. Jackson." Makes no sense. It's like the train keeps rolling right <i>into</i> Ms. Jackson. Only my subconscious knows why.
