Finally he's been photoshopped onto an asian body. That picture looks perfect but I doubt he'd be drinking his Japanese brews

Shpongle are still good but are they as good as AYS? or Tales of The Inexpressible? In my opinion definitely not. Electric universe fuels his recent music with cheesy guitar riffs. If that's your thing you could call it reasonable but it's far from my taste so I call it ubercrap

Reading Chapterhouse Dune at the moment. As in all these works it is starting off slow and doesn't really encourage me to pick it up and read. I know it'll get better about halfway in though so I won't change to another book so I end up in a reading slump

That system looks pretty cool but not what I am looking for. I've got a huge choice of speakers to choose from but only TDK will read the files right off the HDD. That SONOS looks like it needs a computer. Thanks though. I think a solution might be a small (7inch) tablet with USB compatibility. A windows one maybe or would android work with an external hard drive in a case like this?

Iriver was my first mp3 player and I did like it a lot. Shame the battery life, which started out excellent, degraded so quickly. Has the battery improved much in the last 8 years? The main problem with that though is that the largest storage is nowhere near what I am looking for. I really thought there'd be something out there that would allow this but it seems impossible to play the tunes right off the drive without the giant TDK boom box.

Is there anything not completely wrong about that

I thought this was going to be simple but I have just spent about 3 hours searching without getting any satisfactory answer. Basically what I want to do is play the music files stored on my external HDD through a set of speakers without having to use a computer. If you take a look at the TDK Sound Cube you can hook an external hard drive up to it and it will navigate through your floders and play the music files straight from the HDD. The only problem is this is not exactly the most portable option out there in the field of portable audio. Instead of the bulk Sound Cube I was thinking of getting the much more portable Bose Soundlink which sounds really nice and is small but it can't hook up to a usb flash drive or a HDD. I therefore need something that could act as an intermediary between the HDD and the Speakers. i.e. HDD music files → Needs something → To play on these speakers What is that something? I am hoping for something portable. The speakers are small, the HDD is tiny and will hold my entire collection in 320kbps mp3 so I need something that will allow me to play the music and still keep this entire set up something I can put in an overnight bag. I really don't want to just get a large capacity mp3 player as the biggest one seems to be the ipod classic at 160gb which 1. isn't big enough and 2. I don't want to buy anymore apple products after the shittiness I got from the ipod shuffle that broke instantly and I can't take it back to the local shop but instead must find the nearest (not anywhere near) apple store to get it fixed. A seriously shitty company I'd like to be rid of. So is there anything that anyone would recommend? Cheers

I have bought literally thousands of CDs and hundred of vinyl, does this mean I have done my part too? More than my part? Am I exempt from having to do all the reviews and other promotion stuff? Radi, I used to do all that stuff you're suggesting, but life has a habit of catching up with you. I'm far too busy at work to have the energy to write a decent review any more, I don't even accept promos anymore as I just don't have the gumption to write. Maybe one day it'll come back but I am exhausted from problems at work and in life to do it all. I'm sure a lot of people are the same. It sounds like you are in a stage where you want to get things done, that's great, go out there and do them but don't come round and tell people who have done more for the scene than you are ever likely to do that they are not doing enough to turn psy into pop.
