So Jealous is the third album from these sisters, and easily the one to single out for an introduction to their music. Some people may not get on board with their vocal styles, which are slightly
- Led Zeppelin
- This album bears every flavor of genius from the five records that came before. It is, I believe, the band's finest. With Physical Graffiti, Zep came raging back to their musical home territory -- har
- Amon Tobin
- The genius is in the beats. Amon Tobin creates fantastic, groovy beats behind beats. "Supermodified" rolls through your expectations of breakbeat music, and turns them up a bit. It's a mellow album, p

It’s Official: Teens Dis Zune
Sunday, November 26th, 2006 at 2:00 PM - by Bryan Chaffin
The data set may be small, but according to a CNBC report on what's hot for 15 year olds, Apple's iPod is (still) in, while Microsoft's new Zune is a no-show. The 120 second segment followed five teen girls around a mall to see what they were interested in buying (or getting) for holiday presents, and iPod was pronounced "the hottest accessory this season."
Indeed, Apple's iPod was featured heavily in the spot, complete with a look at Apple's stock performance over the past five years (Think Up). Each of the girls in the article had an older iPod, and was interested in either a new iPod nano or shuffle.
When asked about Microsoft's Zune, one teen said, "I just think everyone's too into iPod. I don't think anyone's going to switch over to Zune."
Data from Amazon.com might back up that notion, too. As of this writing, Apple holds 10 of the top 25 most popular electronics items at the online retail giant -- including #1, #2, and #3 -- while Microsoft's Zune comes in at a distant #76, seven places behind the Apple iPod Home/Travel Charger.
