« 10 Things You'd Hear in the U.K., but not Atlanta | Main | Watercooler Wednesday: Who are your influences? »
It seems like the thing to do when you get a new computer is post one of those lame Photo Booth pictures. Well, here's mine...
Honestly, this computer looks just like my old computer, so it's almost been anticlimactic. But this new computer actually works! Plus, it's got a built in iSight camera. Hmmmm...Can you say Guitar Cam?

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Stepping up to the MacBook Pro:
The Rolling Stones: Shine a Light: Original Soundtrack
This is what a live album SHOULD sound like. Unedited, unfixed - just a good recording of what happened that night... (****)
Mudcrutch: Mudcrutch
Tom Petty and Mike Campbell reunite with their old band and forge an instant classic. (****)
Counting Crows: Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings
It was pretty gutsy to lay it out the way they did: all the rockers on the "Saturday Night" section and all the ballads on the "Sunday Morning" side. But it works, and in a major way. Some of the best guitar work I've heard in recent memory. (*****)
The Black Crowes: The Lost Crowes
WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS RECORD?! You've heard most of these songs on other records, but it's just so raw and band-y here. Fall in love with the best band in the world all over again... (*****)
Pillar: For The Love Of The Game
So far this is the album to beat for the rock album of 2008 in the Christian market... The title track has kind of been my "theme song" the last couple of months. (*****)
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster: II
The perfect blend of Southern rock and metal - this is my favorite album right now. (*****)
Kevn Kinney: Broken Hearts & Auto Parts
I picked this up in Athens the other day. It starts out a little slow, but turns into vintage Kevn Kinney/Drivin n Cryin. This is as good as anything he/they have ever put out! (****)
The Black Crowes: Warpaint
If you look up "killer" in the dictionary, you will find a picture of these guys.
Baroness: Red Album
So far the most original and inspiring music I've heard this year... (*****)
Down: Down - Over The Under
This is easily the most rockin' records I've ever owned. It's like redneck Soundgarden. Heaven for a dude like me... (*****)
Demon Hunter: Storm the Gates of Hell
Don't let the "metalcore" label fool you. This album features some of the biggest and hookiest choruses you'll ever hear. "Lead Us Home", "Carry Me Down", and "Thorns" are great examples. Plus I think they'll give you your money back if the title track doesn't make your ears bleed :) (*****)
Does your new macbook Pro also do Windows? If so, then that makes you a double duplex!

Upgrading a PowerBook to a MacBook Pro should do wonders for you. You can now use PhotoBooth to capture movie clips via the iSight camera. You will have fun discovering all the Leopard features!

I share the pure gear lust...as if music gear wasn't enough;-)

Hey Traci - somebody once told me that Dave Navarro served as a musical bridge between '80's metal and '90's alternative :)
No Iain, I didn't do any unboxing photos but it was quite tempting...

I'm amazed and impressed you waited this long to go ahead and get it. I got one soon after they came out and it's still running along just fine:-)

No, the proper way to say it on the web is not, "can you say guitar cam?"
It's Guitar Cam FTW!

I love my MBP - best investment I've made, ever.
Posted by: Jeff Simms | March 26, 2008 at 12:05 PM
I don't know if it's the eerie blue light, the chin beard, the nails or a combination thereof, but this Navarro-esqe picture weirds me smooth out.
Posted by: Traci | March 26, 2008 at 09:07 AM
Dude, can you imagine the possibilities of the guitar cam? Se it up at a show pointing in your direction, then stream it live over the internet using uStream or some other service. That would ROCK!

You and me both! I finally got my new MBP after waiting forever to replace my trusty Powerbook. I guess we're both early adopters, eh? At least you didn't take unboxing photos like I did...
... did you?
