Music I’m loving at the moment…

We all have an “old” favourite song.  For me, that never changes…

My “new”  favourite song (ie current) however, changes often.  I am fickle! I get addicted to a certain song and cannot listen to it enough times.

Then the need passes – and I move onto the next new favourite.

The Kooks – Always Where I Need to Be

I saw The Kooks live for the first time in January at the Sunset Sounds festival.

Currently listening to – and loving “Always Where I Need to Be”. Check it out.

Noisy commuters being told to mind their mobile manners

Sources: PerthNow and AMTA

Loudmouth mobile phone users on trains and buses in Western Australia will be targeted in a new campaign to tackle the growing annoyance”

Public transport commuters who are loud on mobile phones and MP3 players may face being kicked off trains & buses in WA.

Wouldn’t we all like to see this rolled out across the nation?

Survey: Top 3 public annoyances on transport

A survey was conducted – here’s the top 3.

1. Loud mobile phone conversations
   “An overwhelming 90 per cent said loud mobile phone conversations were the most annoying part of their journeys.”
2. Noisy portable music players
   ” A number spoke passionately about … being forced to listen to … thumping bass music from earphones.”
3. Ear-piercing polyphonic ringtones

Can I add keypad tones here?  I’d like to ensure that’s on the list.  Who the hell wants to listen to someone’s keypad tones, annoyingly “beep, beep, beeping” out their SMS’s.

Oh and game tones.  As above…

Mind your Mobile Manners

The Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) encourages individuals to use their mobile phones in a responsible manner and to be considerate and aware of situations where using their mobile phone might annoy others.”

Check out the AMTA’s Mind Your Mobile Manners guidelines.

Respect!

Customer Review: Sportsuit Sleeve

“I have had a few runs with the Marware iPod shuffle holder and it is pretty good!

I live in Cairns and this holder protects the Shuffle – which I’ve replaced twice already due to sweat destroying it.

It does make the player a bit bulkier when clipped to my running shorts, and it isn’t as easy to track up and track down and adjust the volume anymore, but if it helps save the Shuffle from the elements and my sweat (I train hard) then that’s a good thing.”
