My Music

My hobbies include music.

a sample of my albums

I have quite an eclectic taste including (but not limited to):

Soul (e.g. Mica Paris, Lynden David Hall, India Arie Jill Scott, Angie Stone....)
Motown (e.g. Stevie Wonder, Arethra Franklin, Marvin Gaye, James Brown...this includes Funk)
Hip-Hop (Missy Elliot, The Roots, Ugly Duckling, P.E...)
Everything Else (literally; Prince, Seal, Kasabian, The Prodigy, Kaiser Chiefs, Athlete, Coldplay, Sade, Classical Music, Faithless...)

I still can't find a homepage for my favourite band, Innocence internal page so I thought I'd make my own (includes some info on Michael Jackson). Meanwhile, here is my music collection:

My iPod

I've just chucked in my MD collection for a shiny new 4thGen 20Gb Apple iPod, with the ability to play 3230 songs at 192kbps AAC format (ave. song length 4.2min - to check how many tracks you can store on your own iPod using this calculator). If you have one, I suggest you also get:


Sony XBA-2 with Comply Eartips        Glowing iPod

My Portable BT Speakers

I recently had a JBL Xtreme to take to work:

JBL Xtreme in blueJBL Xtreme in blue

This was a good bluetooth speaker that could give you up to 12hrs of battery time when working, but will unfortunately very quickly degenerate into not working properly. The sound is definitely not High Fidelity, but plenty good enough for taking to work and using all day whilst out and about with decent bass when you first listen to it. The battery life deteriorated to 4-5hrs within a few months and then just after the warranty ran out, the charging circuit broke meaning it wouldn't charge the battery correctly. This means you lose all portability and have to leave it plugged in (the large size means it wasn't too portable in the first place but this failure makes it worse). Searching on the internet I've found this to be a well known problem that JBL tries it's hardest to ignore leaving hundreds of people with broken portability just as the warranty runs out - well done JBL (slow clap)...well done! A year or two later, the (what was once great) bass takes a dive and starts distorting on many tracks. The final straw was the new behaviour when connecting to your phone - after connecting the whole unit turns off. This means you have to turn it on again and (because auto-pairing has also broken) re-pair it again. Then it might turn off again. Sometimes you need to repeat this process 3 or 4 times before it behaves itself and stays connected. This apparent logic board failure is the last in a long line of failures from this cheaply made, overpriced POS. I wouldn't touch JBL again with a bargepole...

.... hence onto a superior device for 1/3 the cost but about 3x better sound, the W-King T9:

W-King T9

Bass is deeper (not just mid and high bass like the JBL - low bass too thanks to the bass port as c.f. "bass radiators" that most other portable speakers use), sound is clearer without being fatiguing and I again have 13hrs battery life (will basically last me a whole shift). It goes louder too - much louder @105dB. The only 2 negatives are the even bigger size and also the flashing lights (not a fan but thankfully you can turn them off completely with 5 button presses). Hard wearing plastic and ideal for keeping in my locker at work and using when needed.

To find out more about true High Fidelity, navigate over to my internal page Hi-Fi Page or read some of my internal page Headphone Reviews.
