I guess it’s because the new ones are so bright and pretty, but for some reason I’ve begun to wonder if I need an iPod.
When I brought this up while out one night, my friends all nodded their heads, “Yes, you need an iPod.”
I do? See, I have my concerns. First, I’ve never downloaded a song in my life. I don’t know if it counts when Paul sends me the new Pete Yorn album before it drops, but I don’t think so.
Second, when those first iPod commercials came out – the ones where the shadow dances against a wall as the person walks down the street normally – I realized I do that! I envision near constant choreography, and that’s just music in my head. What will I do if there’s an actual song in my ear?
To give you an example – my friend has one of those ringback tones on her phone. I called her one day while walking up the street and instead of a ring, I’m Bringing SexyBack. I didn’t want to, but I planted a hip. I was about to shake my stuff when thank goodness she picked up.
For this, I don’t think an iPod is a good idea, unless it becomes socially acceptable to literally dance in the streets.
Plus, by day I listen to XPN, primarily. A little WINK in the a.m. and put my 50-disc CD changer on shuffle when at home cleaning.
Despite these arguments, my friends have still said, “You need one.”
You tell me. Share in comments whether I should invest in this hot gadget.
