Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Old Favorite
I got this song stuck in my head one day and just had to find a copy. Listening to it again reminded me of how much I loved it and how much fun my friends and I had listening to it "back in the day". I think this song will always be one of my favorite goofy songs.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Different versions of one song
Almost 15 years after it's release "Tom's Album" is still available for sale and still one of the most groundbreaking CD's of it's kind. The CD contains different versions of the song "Tom's Diner." In brief, it's the same track with different lyrics and slight alterations to the track. Suzanne Vega is featured on the acoustic version and the version that radio picked up with the group DNA. Another popular version of the song Daddy's Little Girl by rapper Nikki D who raps about a girl who is a little too fast and finds herself pregnant. This was an original concept. I originally bought this album soley for the Suzanne Vega version but found several of the other versions pleasing.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I love it!
Its a MUST for all Tom's Diner & Suzanne Vega lovers!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Album for Fans of "Tom's Diner"
I don't know that this is the greatest album unless you're a fan of the song "Tom's Diner," but since that's who I figure it's geared toward, it's definitely worth having. You'll find just about everything you want here--and it will leave you wanting more! The album contains both the acapella as well as the DNA versions of "Tom's Diner" and a host of great remakes and parodies.

Two of my favorites are "Tom's ?" by Bingo Hand Job (a hilarious acapella parody) and "Jeannie's Diner" by Marilyn E Whitelaw & Mark Davis (a parody based on *I Dream of Jeannie* that was also used on a Nick at Night advertisement for the show).

For those who are more serious-minded, there's a Gulf War satire by Beth Watson and a social commentary by Nikki D. There are a couple of cool versions in foreign languages, a reggae version by Michigan & Smiley, a rather silly rap version by After One, and a version with some really cool instrumentals (albeit rather lacking vocals) by n.d.a. Project.

I'm not crazy about all the songs on the album (the After One rap version, in particular), but there's enough on here to keep me interested and laughing for a while. If you love "Tom's Diner," though--it's a must have.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must for those who like the song "Tom's Diner"
I personally like the song "Tom's Diner". Few years ago, my friend told me that there is an album with all variations of Tom's Diner. So I went search and search and finally got the CD. It was one of the best pop song CD in my collection and I am still holding it now. If you like Tom's Diner, this is definitely a must in your CD collection.

On paper, the Mio DigiWalker P550 looks to be an attractive gadget for the mobile professional, combining the capabilities of a PDA and GPS into one device. However, its poor battery life and subpar navigation skills tell a different story.

Though it won't appeal to the masses quite yet, the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a nice, portable device for on-the-go Web browsing, and it has some worthy upgrades.

Though it has a few design and performance glitches, the Sony Ericsson W300i is a quality, basic MP3 cell phone.

Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.

But now, thanks to the oft-reported combo of newly-raised CAFE standards, not-so-newly-raised gas prices, and the 50-state diesel engine, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are about to dip more than a hesitant toe into the diesel game. Chrysler offers a diesel in the Grand Cherokee, but soon all three automakers will offer diesels in their best-selling lineups of light trucks -- the Dodge Ram 1500 is expected to offer a 50-state diesel after 2009. Light trucks are being used to lead the charge since those buyers stand to gain the most with the least amount of (perceived) sacrifice.

Diesels currently have 3.2-percent of the American market. Some estimates put them at 15-percent by 2015. That's a huge leap, and diesel still has plenty of hurdles. Diesels will come with a cost premium over gasoline-engined cars. That should be easy enough to conquer -- incentives and some quick cost and longevity calculations should convince people of the benefit. The real hurdle is the nagging issue of perception. The plan will probably be to attack that with a price that makes the proposition unbeatable. Said Chrysler's director of environmental affairs, "If it's priced right, we can sell diesel here. Diesel can give you an immediate poke in fuel economy -- 20 to 40 percent. Not many technologies can deliver that today."
