- Beck
Beck is the modern master of the groove, and Guero is merely the latest example of this. From the opening power chords of "E-Pro," to the Pac-Man cuteness of "Girl," to the dirge-like lullab

- 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
- Spoon
Gimme Fiction by Spoon is a terrific album by an Austin band that I was lucky enough to catch on an Austin radio station during a Christmas visit.

iPO Quick Tip
Mobile Safari: Quick Domain Suffixes
Sunday, August 10th, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Enter the URL for a Web site you want to visit in Mobile Safari on the iPhone or iPod touch, and your handheld dutifully sends you to the appropriate page even if you didn’t enter a domain suffix like .com. If you need to enter a complete URL, the domain suffix key automatically adds .com to addresses for you -- and you have to type out other suffixes, like .net, as long as you can manage some basic finger dexterity.
To add a domain suffix other than .com to a URL, just tap and hold the domain suffix key and a fly-out menu will appear after a second or two that contains the .net, .edu and .org domain suffixes. Slide your finger to the domain suffix you need and then lift your finger.
 Tap and hold .com to pick other domain suffixes. |
|---|
I use this to add domain suffixes when I am entering URLs with paths to specific places on a Web site. For example, entering apple.com/iphone in Mobile Safari’s Web address field takes me to Apple’s Web page for the iPhone.
As handy as this trick is, it isn’t available unless your iPhone, iPhone 3G, or iPod touch is running software version 2.0 or higher.
