MICHAEL SWAN: IN IPOD THEY TRUST >>>
In lower-tech, pre-CDR/iPod days, mix tapes were as convenient as High Fidelity Hallmark cards. The love was in the effort required for someone to sit down and record a tape of songs they think you had to hear or that, sigh, remind them of you. Then again, there was conceit in forcing friends to hear 90 minutes of your favorite songs. And don’t forget the inherent laziness of the lovelorn mixer’s borrowing, even thieving, of another person’s expression, not to mention their butchering or misinterpreting the intent of the song (ever had a song about a horse dedicated to you? Creepy).
I'm sure it's with a measure of all of these things â€" but with the emphasis on the mixer’s good intentions â€" that the Tempest Lounge launches iPod Tuesdays.
The hilltop lounge wants you to bring in your iPod or mp3 player every Tuesday. After you give them your playlist, they'll put your inner DJ on display.
It's a first plugin, first serve operation.
Tuesdays are also Industry Night at the Tempest. All Industry folks will receive happy hour pricing all night long, such as $5 tostados. Hey, maybe your first song on your iPod should be "Taco Flavoured Kisses" as sung by J Lo on South Park:
Maybe not.
