If you have ever tried to import downloaded video files intro iTunes you would have discovered that most files will not work.

What can I say but WOW! These headphones are amazing, I had the chance to head into Store DJ today and have a listen and the sound was pristine, brilliant highs and heart pumping lows.

I found this song a couple of days ago when trawling through Hype Machine. Its a MashUp of Party and Bullshit from Notorious BIG and Party in the USA by Miley, I know, a bit weird but listen to the song before you judge it. Check it out here.}
So on Thursday I received the wonderful news that my custom earplugs were ready to be picked up. These little babies drop the outside noise level by 25dB (but can come in 9dB, and 15dB versions) so that at the end of the night after a long DJ set my ears won’t be ringing. These also help with annoying people who decide to shout right into my ears. Check them out here}
