Electronics gifts don’t have to be budget-busters

by George Heymann

Technology-Headlines

Despite the downturn in the economy, early polling indicates that a majority of consumers — 52 percent — plan to spend the same or more for gifts this holiday season, according to a recent ICM Research report.

Last year, nearly a third of U.S. consumers’ holiday gift-spending budget went to consumer electronics.

I don’t know who the folks are that participated in the ICM poll, but most of my friends and associates have a more conservative budget this holiday season. Keeping in mind that many of us will need to spend less, I wanted to share my picks for hot tech gifts that won’t break the bank or your budget. Happy Holidays!

Stories behind great songs

by Jon Pompia

‘Cribs Note’ version “Personal Jesus,” Depeche Mode

What some took to be a blasphemous stab at the King of Kings was actually inspired by a biography of The King. DM songwriter Martin Gore came across by Priscilla Presley’s book “Elvis And Me,” learning that Priscilla saw her husband as, that’s right, a personal Jesus.

More long-lost forgotten songs

by Jon Pompia

jonmichael@hotmail.com

This continues a list of the best songs you’ve maybe never heard, or haven’t in ages, but definitely should track down.
“Alone Again (Naturally),” Gilbert O’Sullivan. Widely regarded as one of the saddest songs of all time, this 1973 gem also is one of the most enduring.
Even as a child, I could vividly feel this man’s pain dripping off that exquisite melody. And once my own parents passed away, I couldn’t bear to listen to “AAN” for many years.
That, in a nutshell, is the true power of a song.

More long-lost forgotten songs

by Jon Pompia

jonmichael@hotmail.com

This continues a list of the best songs you’ve (likely) never heard, or haven’t in ages, but definitely should track down.

“I’m Down,” The Beatles. It’s hard to say any song of The Fab Four is forgotten, but this one remains a hidden gem. Because it didn’t appear on an official album — only as a B-side to the “Help!” single — “I’m Down” didn’t get the exposure other great Beatles songs did.
Frantic, fun and rocking, this tune became a concert staple short after its 1965 release.

This continues a list of the best songs you’ve (likely) never heard, or haven’t in ages. Although amazingly badass, these songs remain criminally underappreciated, due to many factors which I cannot fully explain (effects of time, lack of promotion, dearth of today’s crappy music , etc.
