From some design site (thanks Jane):
“iPod Status is a wearable information display. It reads artist and title information about the currently playing song on an attached iPod, and presents this information on a small screen that attaches to any messenger bag shoulder strap. Many of us have taken rides on public transportation and wondered what the interesting-looking person beside us is listening to. iPod Status is intended to encourage social connectedness by making this hidden information visible.”
Translation: are you worried that people don’t realise quite how cool you are? What’s the point of listening to (whoever) if others don’t realise you’re listening to (whoever)?
Have you picked one up yet, Pato?
Talking of self-regarding disingenousness - I haven’t been using iTunes long, so the sample is size is too small to use its “Most Played” as an indication of my taste; even so, numbers 1 to 6...
Heartbeat - Annie
Wrap Your Arms Around Me - Agnetha Fältskog
Diddy Wah Diddy - Captain Beefheart
Winter - The Rolling Stones
Liar Liar - The Castaways
Lipstick on your collar - Connie Francis
