Listening to iPod in car

I have downloaded about 6 days worth of iPod podcasts. I need a way to listen to these in the car. I have been searching for a good device that will allow me to play the iPod through my car stereo speakers. One of the products I have been considering is the Monster iCarPlay Plus Wireless FM Transmitter/Charger for iPod. I read these reviews and I can’t seem to find a good consensus. It think that that is one of the problems with reviews, everyone has an opinion and personal preference clouds the review. I do it all the time. I dismiss something that I don’t find appealing maybe not on specific merits but rather on personal preference. I’m not sure if these reviews are making the purchases easier or harder to make.

Ellis Paul’s Essentials

Ellis Paul recently released a greatest hits album called Essentials. It is a collection of 34 tracks from many of Ellis’ previous albums. Allison and I have been Ellis fans since we have been together, that is about 6 years and each year we try to see him at least once if not 5 times. We just love his music. He is one of the most talented singer songwriters that are out there now. His roots in the Boston area don’t hurt the major following he has out this way. I was actually introduced to Ellis more than 10 years ago I think. My Sister Tara was a big fan and she has seen him many more times than we have. She brought me to see one of his shows at a small chapel in Woods Hole. You have to at least go and listen to Ellis Paul’s sample tracks, you will be hooked.
