I’ve updated my new iTunes icons for the release of iTunes 7.
I’ve switched to using LaVern Baker.

“As I probably said before Australian poetry seems to me to deal greatly with space rather than time, while Europe is the other way round. Not surprising though, is it?”

“Today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Satyagraha movement. The events of September 11, 2001 pale in significance next to the birth of the movement that led to the liberation of India, and the end of legal segregation in the United States.”

Planet Ping Pong
I just watched most of a great documentary on BBC4 called ‘Planet Ping Pong’ about, well, table tennis. I missed the first 15 minutes (before 1949, roughly), unfortunately. If it comes to a channel near you soon (or YouTube or BitTorrent), check it out.
I’m very much out of practice and out of shape, but I used to love table tennis. It’s the short bursts of intensely focussed action. Rather like Mario vs Donkey Kong on the GBA.
Oh, and you could do worse than watching ピンポン, a Japanese film about high school table tennis.

I’d be even more excited if it was hay fever.
I decided I don’t like the iTunes icon very much, so I’ve made myself some new ones:
Still by LaVern Baker, Young Boy Blues by Eddie “Buster” Forehand, and We Go Together by The Moonglows, since you asked. Picked for what they look like rather than the choons – I’ve only heard one of them anyway. The Forehand is actually a fraction too big – it looks out of place in the dock. I’m using the Moonglows for the moment.
EDIT:
since I’ve been getting a bit of Google traffic for this post, I thought I’d point out the two more recent posts on the subject (one, two).
