I have finally entered the world of the smartphone . . . and it's awesome-- I did it on the cheap: I purchased an older model Samsung Galaxy and put a 64GB memory chip inside it, and I'm using Ting as my service provider and not using any data-- I only download stuff when I'm using wifi-- so the bill is 12 dollars a month (six dollars for the device, three for calling, and three for texting . . . if you want to sign up, refer me and I get some credit) and I'm paying for Google Play music, so I can download anything I want to the phone . . . here's what I have on there so far:

and a bunch more stuff-- I'm getting sick of listing all this, but the list is heavy on female comics because I'm looking for bits when I teach Ibsen's A Doll's House and it's heavy on hip-hop because I can't listen to that stuff in the house . . . anyway, I'm in audio-overload mode, and I haven't even listed all the podcasts I've subscribed to on Podkicker!
Google Play is my all time favorite app - we probably shouldn't even post about it because someone in a corner office will screw it up at some point. Patrice O'Neal may deliver some gems for your classroom, I highly recommend Mr. P. The best crowd comic of all time. Patrice had a similar health tragedy and early death, comparable to J Dilla.
ReplyDeletewe went and saw him twice at the stress factory, he was our favorite guy . . . but i've never listened to one of his albums, good idea . . . google play really works, so much easier than itunes
