Blondie – We Three Kings

All My MP3 Players

A few years back I had some disposable income and bought myself an mp3 player. Note that I did not say an iPod.  An iPod was the last thing that I wanted. I didn’t want to be locked into iTunes. I didn’t want what everyone else had.  I wanted something cooler, something better. And I [...]
