Music To Soothe The Zombie's Soul

I just wanted to turn readers onto a great site that I've been living at for the last couple of days. It's called iJigg and is probably one of the coolest music sites I've found on the web in ages.

It's sort of the same concept of Youtube where, instead of uploading videos, anyone can upload music. The best part is that it has a super fast load speed, and it has some awesome electronic music.

I especially like Untravel (it reminds me of my friend, kimber's, brother's band - Venus Hum); and Real Sick Fuck (Bestiality is always funny. It's a musical version of what Randall reallly wanted in Clerks II!).

Apparently, the site owners are working through some legal issues, but hopefully you'll be able to download the music to iPods soon.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Zombie let me go out and buy myself an iPod back in December for my birthday. I got a basic shuffle and, truthfully, I LOVE it. I looked at, and could have bought a more expensive nano, or the super size, ultra expensive iHoozawhatsis, but I was really sort of drawn to the simple, sleek design of the shuffle.

If you're on the fence about whether to spend the money on an mp3 player, you cannot go wrong with the Shuffle. For about $70, I have about 150 songs loaded, WITH ROOM FOR ANOTHER 100 or so. I downloaded some things from iTunes, and then ripped the rest from my own cd collection.

Now, you may be saying "But you can't pick your songs! It shuffles your music and you have no control over what it plays next!". And this is true, but I don't see a problem with that. You see, every song i put on it I LOVE. So I don't care about the order.

Plus it's seriously the size and weight of a half dollar. 200 plus of my favorite songs, in a non-skipping player that clips on my shirt for when I go mountain biking is sexy - no matter how you look at it!

Now if i could just download some of the stuff from iJigg...

Hi there,

Glad you liked iJigg!

Just wanted to point out that instead of linking to the site, you can even embed the song right into your blog post using the Embed Code from the song page.

NO! Save up and get a bigger ipod. I have a 20 gig and wish I would have held out.

I love my iPod. I needed to go for the 80 gig, since I've got way too much music and I'm picky about picking a specific song whenever I want it. But yeah, the Shuffle is pretty awesome too, especially for exercising.
