original from songs to wear pants to, extolling the virtues of the mass transit system in washington dc.
lyrics:
IF THE METRO DON'T GO THERE IT DON'T EXIST
My friends know it's my creed
I'm just a follow going along and
Metro is my lead
Living in Washington, DC with no car and
that's fine by me
No parking cares, no insurance, no gas,
just my cup of tea.
Get the Green line to work, the Red line to the
National Zoo
Yellow to the airport , Blue to King Street
and Orange to GMU
The Metro takes me to Rockville, Arlington, heck
even London, UK
[spoken part] You take the green line to Greenbelt, get on the B30 express to
BWI, catch a British Airways flight to Gatwick, from Gatwick walk to the exit
for the Tube, at the tube station take the train to Cockfosters, viola London.
OK?[/end spoken]
Don't care for the 'burbs with the Wal-Marts and
bland chain stores
I'll take the metro to funky shops in Dupont
Stand clear of the doors
I want to go when I want to go, leave when
I want to leave
Having to beg for a ride, hunt for a ride, that's
my pet peeve
I'm not going to bother with the places
I just can't go
Cause if it's good, if it's great, I can get there
by the Metro
Bong-Bong, doors closing.

Here's some more ideas and feedback for media types that Vox could scoop up and make collectable and bloggable, and some sources for same.
For audio, it would be really spiffy if you could record directly into Vox (or am I missing that?) so that there doesn't need to be a separate encode to MP3 and upload step. (Think Odeo, let's say.) That's the sort of thing that could give you spontaneous audio clips.
For books, I'd love to see an interface to LibraryThing. LT has a tag system, lets you do user-uploaded covers so that you can get images of books not in Amazon, and is generally amazingly cool and library-geeky.
In a fit of academic weakness, I'd like to see some interface to CiteULike, so that there was a straightforward way to cite papers. Again, that system has tags and a rating and recommending system, which speeds up the process of finding things and keeping track of them. Failing that, if there were some way to upload PDFs and then show thumbnail images of front pages, that would go a long ways.
All that said, this is a really great setup, and already I find it a lot easier to navigate through than the equivalent number and scope of regular blogs.
