Very few albums manage to capture snapshots of a quality of life in the manner that Congo Norvell's sophomore record, "Abnormals Anonymous," does.
Comparisons to the Velvet Underground are
- The Redwalls
- Wow! Perhaps my 5-star rating is simply because the Redwalls are not only new and fresh (none of them older than 22!), or perhaps its because -- despite their ages -- they are able to totally capture

Black Sabbath, The White Stripes, The Stooges. There aren't many bands worth their salt that want to be compared to other bands, but when I listen to Wolfmother's self-titled American debut, I can
- 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.

Griffin iTrip: Everyone’s Go-To iPod accessory
Friday, July 15th, 2005 at 10:25 AM - by Ricky Spero
This Griffin Technology product has become everyone's go-to iPod accessory. The iTrip lets you play songs over any FM radio, on any frequency. This gadget makes it possible to pipe iPod music through just about any stereo, without using an auxiliary input.
Many such devices exist, but the iTrip is my favorite. It doesn't use a battery (it runs off the iPod's), and you change the station by playing iTrip songs right in your iPod. The little guy is rugged, too: I sent mine through the washing machine once, and after a few days of drying out, it worked fine.
Unfortunately, as with all FM transmitters, the iTrip broadcasts in less-than-great fidelity, and wimps out when passing by a radio tower, or when trying to transmit on an occupied channel. Still, for sheer convenience and slickness of design, the iTrip is a solid performer for the money.
Just The Facts
Pros:Light, small, and rugged; no batteries required.
Cons:Limited fidelity and range (as with all FM transmitters).
