Neither heat, nor rain, nor sold-out-crowd ruined our enjoyment of Tom Petty’s show at Riverbend in Cincinnati Tuesday night. His show was excellent as usual.

I received an invite to join Last.fm’s beta site this morning and the new product looks sharp. The site feels a little like Facebook, but I think that’s a positive.
I’m not sure if the social networking site for music fans will ever take off without closer integration into another service like Facebook, but I continue to use the site in case it does improve. I let the Web site record which songs I’ve played on my iPod when I synch new songs over from iTunes or charge the device.
Say what you will about Tom Petty’s performance during Super Bowl halftime last night, but I thought it was one of the better halftime shows in recent memory.
Of course, being that Petty is my favorite artist, I’m a little biased. I will say, however, that if you’re one of the people commenting on blogs around the Internet that Prince’s performance in last year’s Super Bowl was better, you can go put on a tight purple jumpsuit, makeup and do pelvic thrusts while spewing high pitched “oooh”s and “ahhh”s with others that share your opinion.
Over six years after the first iPod was released in October of 2001, I finally got my hands on one yesterday.
As an early birthday/Christmas present to myself, I bought the 80 GB black iPod Classic at Target yesterday. They offered a free $25 dollar gift card with purchase of the $250 device, which was one of the better deals I could find.
With the thousands of songs I’ve collected over the years, I thought I’d probably need the 160 GB version but after checking the file size of the music folder on my computer, I saw that it read only just over 14 GB. It’s amazing how many MP3 files 1 GB of storage can hold.
A film on Tom Petty’s more than 30-year career will be released Tuesday, Oct. 16, titled “Runnin’ Down a Dream.”
Check out the trailer. It gave this Petty super fan goosebumps:
