iPod
I did a self-indulgent thing and bought an iPod. And, oh! - how I love it!!!! I waited for so long and couldn't wait any longer. When I heard that James Brown had died on Christmas Day, rather than rifling through mountains of CDs I just scrolled through. I spent ten seconds wondering about his finest hour... I'd say it has to be "Live at the Apollo", Harlem, 1962. An instant later I was listening to 'Lost Someone' and 'If You Leave Me I'll Go Crazy'... magic! It's all very instant and twenty-first centruy, but brilliant - also handy for moments when you hear about the sudden death of musical legends.
