A mild case of consumerism

On Gizmodo.com this morning they highlighted the Logitech Z-3 wood-grained speakers for $25 (they retail for $100). I was tempted. The wood grain was strangely seductive to me. I passed.

This afternoon I met Sasha at his house to photograph some lp covers for Sticker Shock. As I was leaving he played me some cuts from M.I.A.'s soon-to-be-released album, as well as some cuts from a mixtape of her music. They rocked. When I got home I listened to "Supergalanga!" on the speakers attached to my computer and discovered I was missing something: I postulized the low end theory. I emailed Simone a link to the Z3 speakers and wondered aloud if I should get them. She said yes; I could always return them. Ben told me he had already ordered three. Online shopping is too easy. I just wish I didn't have to wait a week or two for delivery.
