...inanimate object that is most like a person or is most comparable to a person would be best. I would say an iPod, since you can hear people sing or talk about things. But if it has to be strictly disconnected from human contact, at least things that resemble humans––a stuffed animal, a robot, anything that sort of is sort of human-like or moves, if you were lonely enough to imagine that it provides comfort or understanding...
...lyrics (despite the bad grammar) recall an Elliot Smith song, filled with dark and brooding imagery; but the video for “Believe” wastes its existential potential on cheap cliches. What should have been a deeply moving and raw music video becomes a glorified iPod commercial, with slightly worse lighting, defective editing, and awkward crowd surfing. As the band plays on a stage lined by flailing arms and hands, the camera randomly freezes the action into what resembles Warhol-esque snapshots. Yet these stills only remind the audience that The Bravery will probably never reach the epic...

Some are cyborgs by choice—when listening to an iPod, when typing a term paper, when masturbating with a vibrator—but others, like me, are medical cyborgs. Some have pacemakers; I have Lamp.

...their new releases on vinyl in addition to the CD and MP3 formats. As an extra lure, many labels are including coupons for free audio downloads with their vinyl albums so that Generation Y music fans can get the best of both worlds: high-quality sound at home and iPod portability for the road. Also, vinyl's different shapes (hearts, triangles) and eye-catching designs (bright colors, sparkles) are created to appeal to a younger audience. While new records sell for about $14, used LPs go for as little as a penny--perfect for a teenager's budget...
