New Powerbook / Musical post

Apple released a brand new line of Powerbooks two weeks ago and I ordered the 15" base model the day after they came out. Check out the specs here. Here's a photo of my Powerbook with my 19" monitor spanning in the background. I didn't use the flash because this thing's already flashy enough.


Since it's such a trend to post songs on blogs these days, and I want to be 'with it' too, here are some songs that I have had stuck in my head over the last few days.

The Black Eyed Peas - Don't Lie: I got this one when I downloaded their whole new album, Monkey Business, which I actually found pretty good. However most of the songs sound familiar, because they tend to sample popular music to use for their own songs.

Boards of Canada - Chromakey Dreamcoat: From the new Campfire Headphase album, which Megan suggested I download. It's decent - it has a few good songs I guess. This one is my favourite so far.

DJ Z-Trip - DJ Z-Trip vs. KRS-One: Heard this care of Mike Simons on the way home from climbing in Squamish at VOC Longhike. It's one section of a whole live set and it's only the the first 3 minutes of this track that I like. The whole live set is pretty amazing, probably in my top 5 albums of all time.

Howie Day - Collide: Barry played this song on the guitar at UBC a few weeks ago, and it actually sounded pretty good! That meant the real song would be excellent, so I downloaded it.
