Start Your iPods
Starting this work week, with my new Shure E2c's:
The "sound-isolating" aspect of these earphones works really well. The standard iPod earphones let a lot of sound through. But with these, I can't hear a damned thing besides the music (which really does sound excellent) and my own breathing. It's a bit like being underwater. Since I can't even hear typing, I'm making more typos. This will take some getting used to.
- Spoon - I Summon You
- Beck - Side of the Road
- Jimi Hendrix - Castles Made of Sand
- Cowboy Junkies - Someone Out There
- The Cure - A Thousand Hours
- Sonic Youth - I Love Her All The Time
- The Cure - The Hanging Garden
- Steely Dan - Hey Nineteen
- Apollo Sunshine - A Finger Pointing At The Moon
- Iron And Wine - Freedom Hangs Like Heaven
- (bonus - since that Apollo Sunshine song was only 30 seconds long) : Pixies - Wave Of Mutilation (UK Surf mix)
