  • 2112

    • 10 out of 10
    • Rush
    • We all know it, right? Well, ya just gotta have it. 2112 finally showed Rush out on their own, doing their own thing, and doing it well, IMHO.
  • Machine Gun Etiquette

    • 8 out of 10
    • The Damned
    • Punk rock is mostly associated with three chords and a bad attitude, but the Damned were one of the few bands of the era bent on bringing musicianship and a good sense of humor to the scene. And while
  • Haunted

    • 10 out of 10
    • Poe
    • 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.

      Ostensibly a tie-in to her brot

  • Album Of The Year

    • 10 out of 10
    • Brother Love
    • Killer grooves, catchy riffs, edgy vocals with oh-so-just-right layered harmonies, and a drive that will move even YOU out of your chair, Brother Love's initial release is what rock and roll should be
  • Rift

    • 8 out of 10
    • Phish
    • This quasi-concept album (the only of its kind) from these Vermonters finally showcased their ability to convey a message with a studio album, whereas previously they only succeeded in doing so live.

Griffin Announces iFM for iPod

Griffin Technology announced Friday the iFM, a handheld device with a built-in FM tuner, iPod remote control functionality and the ability to record audio notes and radio broadcasts.

The iFM is a stand-alone device (see photo below) that connects to the Apple iPod. Users can switch seamlessly between controlling their music library and listening to FM radio programming. The iFM can be used as an inline remote to control the iPod's transport controls. iFM is also a recording device, with a built in microphone to record voice, or change modes to capture live FM radio directly to the iPod.

The built-in FM radio has six station presets, will scan with automatic frequency wraparound, and has a band-switch function to switch between U.S., European and Japanese FM bands. The integrated white backlit liquid crystal display shows the operating mode of the iFM at a quick glance.

The recorder, which will only work of third- and fourth-generation iPods, will tape content from the FM radio or through its omnidirectional, built-in microphone. Anything recorded will automatically be save to the iPod, with one-touch start and stop functionality exclusively on fourth-generation iPod photo models. Recording time will only be limited by the amount of available space on the iPod, the company said.

The iFM will begin shipping in August at a retail price of US$49.99.
