- The second and final album from this power-pop group makes me wish Jellyfish had been able to make just one more record together. The album is best enjoyed as a whole piece, flowing from one track to

- Ray LaMontagne
At first, Ray LaMontagne might strike you as just another breathy-voiced knockoff of folk/rock guitarists like John Mayer and Jack Johnson. But he's actually got a better voice than either, he tell

- It's an album about a breakup, done with beats instead of mopey lyrics. But the beats are raw, and the emotions are there, even if there aren't many words on top of it. While possibly not Scott Herren

Watch Video on Your iPod With the myvu Visor
Wednesday, December 27th, 2006 at 2:00 PM - by John Martellaro
The myvu personal media viewer from MicroOptical Corp. is a device that consists of a black, ultra-sleek visor/viewer, noise reduction ear buds, and an ultra thin case and battery combination. It works with a 5G iPod or later. The myvu was reviewed at the Wall Street Journal Wednesday [Subscription Required.]
"We tested the iPod-specific version and wore the Myvu to watch various types of videos, including music videos, television shows and movies. Overall, it's a pretty cool device, with a good-looking visual illusion that MicroOptical says is comparable to watching a 27-inch screen from six feet away," according to the reviewer who also stated that the myvu "looks like a prop from Star Trek."
One of the accessories is a thin lithium battery built into the protective case that extends the video viewing time from the normal 3.5 hours to 8.5 hours. However, the review also pointed out that watching a long movie could make the user uncomfortable. MicroOptical provides some additional accessories to make extended viewing more comfortable.
Geordi La Forge never looked this good. The myvu personal media viewer, iPod edition, is priced at US$299.95.
