Lasonic have made a new boombox but instead of having a cassette player it’s got an internal iPod dock. It looks like it came came straight out of the 80’s and I really want one! It even has a little GEQ with flashing lights. It’d be so bloody cool to have this to bang tunes out on in the park when it’s summer and obviously you’d have to be playing old school tunes like LL, Run DMC, Beastie Boys etc. It’s compatible with all iPods, SD cards and usb flash drives. I think i read something about one with a DVD player in it as well awhile back.

I’m feelin his flow, never really bothered to listen to him before this, no idea how to describe it though.. I’m no music critic, but if you like stuff like The Roots, J5, De La Soul, Talib and all that lot, then you should enjoy this album.

Recently my iBook has been giving me a lot of trouble. It started to randomly stop charging, the connections were loose inside the plug head of the power adaptor, bad design. So I called Apple told them my problem and they sent out a new one, but they sent me the bit that goes into the power adaptor, not the adaptor itself which i needed. After a bit of complaining they eventually sent me a new adaptor and all was well.
