- 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.

The Strokes set the music world on fire with this 2001 album, with headlines declaring that the New York band was here to save Rock and Roll. While the band hasn't made as much of a splash since t

LoadPod Adds Movie Loading Service for Video iPods
Tuesday, December 27th, 2005 at 2:00 PM - by Brad Cook
LoadPod on Wednesday announced that it can now load DVD movies, in addition to music libraries, on its customers' video-enabled iPods. Available in eight U.S. cities, LoadPod's service picks up a customer's iPod and media collection and returns it within a few days.
The company encodes movies at the iPod's 320 x 240 display resolution and says that each one takes up less than 1GB of storage, on average. As with a DVD player and a TV, the films fill up the iPod's display if they're non-widescreen or appear with black bars across the top and bottom if they're letterboxed.
LoadPod only handles the movie itself. Trailers, subtitles, commentary and bonus features are not included. The company will only load full-length feature movies from store-bought DVDs; it doesn't handle TV series, live concerts or other content.
Pricing for the new service is US$34.95 per DVD for 5 to 10 DVDs, $31.95 per DVD for 11 to 20 DVDs and $27.95 per DVD for 21 to 40 DVDs. Movies longer than three hours are subject to a $10 surcharge per hour.
LoadPod's service is available in New York City, Chicago, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle. Even if they live in one of those cities, customers should check the company's Web site to make sure they live in an area code where the movie service is offered.
