The Creative Zen thing Helen bought me lasted about 12 hours. I dropped it on the wooden floor of our hallway and it broke. The inherent fragility of a spinning hard disk in a small portable player puts me off them. And my Nano broke, too - the interior screen cracked and spread the LCD black goo over the inside like an ink cloud, making the display unreadable. Helen’s never had a problem with her iPod - apart from having to replace the battery - but I’m a little more careless with them, I guess.

Sigh…

They stood out that night amongst the other performers; I didn’t know Malaika was a traditional Swahili song, didn’t know Kidjo’s reputation, didn’t know about the peculiar background of Tinariwen, didn’t know what to expect.
