http://www.mofi.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=7&idproduct=81 Anyone heard this? I used to love this album when I was in grade school, and am considering picking it up. Also of interest is the Zappa "We're Only In It For The Money" MFSL disc.

Click Me Kill 'Em All and Ride the Lightening, Half Speed Mastered by Mobile Fidelity, but released on Elektra. Available in both standard 33 1/3 vinyl and 180g 45RPM.

I know that I'm not the only Emily/Metric fan here so when I found this tonight I figured I'd make sure that others new about it.

So I'm in the middle of a mundane sheetrocking job, and as such you tend to have some fun conversations. Today one of the subjects that popped up was misheard lyrics. One of my employees told me that he thought the line in Kenny Rodgers "Lucille" was "with four hundred children, and a crop in the fields". Where the line is actually "with four hungry children, and a crop in the fields". This got us laughing, and I admitted that when I was in high school I had thought that Neil Diamond's "Forever in Blue Jeans" was "Reverend Blue Jeans". I was actually disappointed to find out otherwise. So I thought it would be fun to find out what misheard lyrics my Head-Case buddie…

I was hugely bummed at Lala's untimely demise. Now this MOG - Millions of songs on-demand and radio that's just hard to believe ,if it lasts for more than a couple months, could be a worthy or even better replacement. For five bucks a month you get computer access to a library that looks to be comparable with what Lala had. The five bucks is unlimited streaming, all you can eat. For ten bucks, you get mobile device service similar to Slacker, with caching on the device (for Andriod and iPhone only). Streams are MP3 at 320 Kbps, so the quality should be pretty listenable, more or less, give or take. They seem to post new releases promptly, although they don't …

A friend of mine recently gave me some LP's to transfer for him that he found at his father's house. The LP's are all beat to crap, some containing some nice rat poo and others containing mold spores. All of them are in terrible condition but workable none the less. One of those LP's just happens to be an original six-eye red and black mono pressing of Dave Brubeck's Time Out. I saw it and was shocked that it was so beaten up. Someone must have listened to this A LOT. I cleaned it 3 times and put it on. WOW! I have never heard the mono version and I have a custom stereo version but even in this crappy condition the mono beats out every other version I have hear…

Hey Gang, I just put up a few 2013 Monterey Jazz Festival recordings I made on my SoundCloud page. This time, they're all 16/44.1 so if you should decide to download any, it's way quicker. Here's the artists in order; Diana Krall David Sanborn (yeah, a little lite at the beginning) Gregory Porter Orin Evans Trio Wayne Shorter Quintet Prism (20 min worth) http://soundcloud.com/ironbut28/krall

The Obscurometer. Only works if you have a last.fm account (and a fair amount of scrobbles.) With jut under 120,000 plays, I have an Obscurometer rating of 75%. My friend Brent got 85.5%. What's yours?

We all complain about sibilant gear, but microphones and associated gear can put the sibilance right on the source, so tell me about some of your ...erm... favorites? I'll tell you why I'm asking later. Doesn't matter if the music is good or bad, I'm more interested in the acoustic properties of the recordings.

So who do you think is the most skilled shredder out there? I'd say it's a toss up between Jason Becker, Michael Angelo Batio, and Ron Thal. On a side note, has anybody noticed that the faster they get the more it sounds like crap?

I know Beethoven is deaf, Mozart is childish and partied till he died or something. I failed History 3 anyways.. the RCM exam for music history. All joking aside, what is the difference between those two in every aspect including their lifestyle and music style? Both of these composers are very famous and I know I can go google, but I'm just wondering what you guys have to say.

From his diary entry: So, King Crimson is in motion. This is a very different reformation to what has gone before: seven players, four English and three American, with three drummers. The Seven-Headed Beast of Crim is in Go! mode. The 8th incarnation of King Crimson will be Gavin Harrison, Bill Rieflin, Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, Mel Collins, Jakko Jakszyk and Robert Fripp. Fripp says they should reappear about 1 year from now. I'll be waiting.

As some of you might know, I once played Slayer and Guns n' Roses on a Quad ESL-57 system. Surprisingly, the audio gods didn't smite me for this blasphemy, and thus it was learned that Quad 57's don't exactly rock. Recently, Biggie has mentioned playing Slipknot to stress audio gear, and Dusty Chalk admits to blasting NIN while auditioning speakers, while I've inflicted Metallica and Fear Factory on various systems. Which brings me to this topic, lots of people play Norah Jones, Diana Krall, and Miles Davis when auditioning systems or writing reviews, and then they oooh and aaahh at how warm, intimate and real it all sounds and give it an A+ rating. Which would be grea…

So, this http://www.head-case.org/forums/music/5079-what-you-listening-part-two-472.html#post357782 made me listen to Afro Cuban All Stars, and I like it very much. I've never listened to such a kind of music before, no Jazz, no Fidel Castro, no Yada Yada, nothing. Please recommend me some more

I know I'll be picking up a select few of these. I'm crazy, but not crazy enough to purchase a full subscription. Six upcoming titles Complete 63 Title Release Schedule Anyone have any suggestions on which titles are real gooduns? The only one I'm 100% that I'll be purchasing is Johnny Griffin - The Congregation. moderator suggestion: make you links work!

Hey guys, I was wondering about this subscription as I've never done anything like this before. How does it work exactly? They send you 2 titles a month for how many titles? For people who have this subscription, how are you liking the sound quality of the records? I know Analogue Productions does a run of 25 titles with 2 titles a month, but I'm not sure how the Music Matters subscription works out. I think MM can easily fulfill my jazz fetish Do you guys think its worth doing?

I'm starting to get into bluegrass/country/pop-country (or what I think is bluegrass/country) a bit more and since this is an area of music that I am not completely familiar with, I was hoping you guys can help me out with some recommendations. So far I like: Nickel Creek (and the various solo groups that came out of it) Punch Brothers Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Neko Case Gillian Welch Old Crow Medicine Show Lucinda Williams Ryan Adams Sarah Jarosz Thanks!
