Most musical episodes of TV shows frankly stink. They are usually little more than ill-conceived vehicles intended to let the stars show off what musical talent they have. Once More, With Feeling,
- Massive Attack
"Black Milk" knocks me off my feet in this collection of moody and eclectic songs. Massive Attack uses samples and keyboards in a very unique way, but not all the songs pack the same punch.

Dropping like a bomb on some of the blah musical offerings of her contemporaries, Haunted was one of the best albums of 2000, obliterating the competition.

Dell’s DJ Ditty Disappears
Monday, August 21st, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
A search through Dell's Web site comes up dry if you are looking for the DJ Ditty digital music player. The MP3 player page on the company's site sells the Sandisk Sans m240, e-Series, and Creative Vision:M players. Dell even offers an MP3 player comparison chart to help you pick out the device that's right for you, but there's no mention of the Ditty.
The DJ Ditty was Dell's Flash-based MP3 player designed to compete with the iPod shuffle. The company continued to sell it after dropping it hard drive-based Dell DJ in February, and dropped the price from US$99 to $79, and then eventually to $39.
Apple's dominance in the MP3 player market has so far proven to be something other music players have not been able to overcome, even though we have not seen a new iPod model for several months. Now, with the quiet passing of the DJ Ditty, the list of failed iPod contenders is a little longer.
Thanks to TMO reader Chris Knape for the heads up.
