I am mad because I found out the other day about the two dates Hole is playing in Brooklyn in April. I spent forever debating how I would get there and whether it was worth it and if I'd have to get a hotel and then discovered that it's actually sold out and the website just hadn't marked it as such. I know people think Courtney Love is silly but Hole was awesome for me in high school. I hope they'll add a couple more dates. It seems like it would be wise since it's sold out and also because Courtney is like perpetually broke anyway.

So I don't have an ipod or any other kind of mp3 player and I'm thinking of buying one. I'm temping right now. It blows and it's mostly mind-numbing data entry and it seems like most places let you listen to an ipod. All week I've been listening to my discman, which is apparently so ancient that someone there literally did not know what a discman was, and it's a pain. I go through four batteries a day, I have to take seven or eight CDs with me and change them and then I've listened to them all by lunch. I also have to admit that it's not feasible for me to buy every CD I might want to listen to and I rarely listen to music on my computer anymore.

I don't know anything about ipods at all. The world where people are getting rid of their ipods because they are too old is like a whole other universe to me. I cannot afford an iphone so that's off the table. I don't know what this "3rd generation" and "8th generation" stuff means. I don't know if I should look into getting a classic or a nano. I have about 23gb of music on my computer but I don't listen to all of it.

What is available for me to use it in the car? My car is 15 years old so it doesn't have any ipod stuff in it. It has a CD player and a cigarette lighter. I tried to look through the ipod store but it seemed like everything for the car was for charging and it also seemed like lots of it was for the ipod touch which is more fancy than necessary. I also want to be able to listen to music in the kitchen so I guess I need a charging dock with speakers. Are these expensive? Is this becoming like a $500 purchase?

I'll probably be looking on ebay because I'm not sure I can afford to pay full price, but that makes it so much more confusing because then it's all, "4th generation, guys!!" and I'm confused.

Please advise!
