I would like to try to introduce a new word into our vernacular: "iPodular." It would mean anything cool relating to the iPod, music streaming, or file swapping, as in the following examples:

"Have you heard the iPodular Wilco mp3?"

or: "Check out this new song by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs - iPodular!"

Of course it can be used in a non-musical reference, too: "The internet connection in my dorm is totally iPodular, man!"

Then again, maybe the word sounds too eighties. It does invoke memories of a Frank Zappa song... But who cares, right? The eighties were cool, right?


... Right?

(Where are those cricket sounds coming from?)

Still, wouldn't it be cool if a bunch of us started using this word in our blogs, and using it in daily life? Then it might spread to other blogs, eventually making its way into chat rooms or something, and spread from there. By this time next year, it could be common lingo on MTV or something. It could happen! Not like I'd hear it, of course, because I'd never listen to MTV. Oh no. I'm too old for that. Plus, it's so not iPodular.

What?

listening to: Cake, Life at Sea, the Violent Femmes... totally iPodular, if I had an iPod...
in my sink: Dried coffee.
