Ian, not to rub it in, but I think you would have loved the Lowell show. Beautiful night outdoors, two lawn areas where blankets and beach chairs ruled, kids under 12 free.....Karen and I had a nice picnic mix from home and Panera. Neko played songs from the above two albums and Middle Cyclone. The new album is a bit too "electric/rocking" for my taste normally, but it was a little more mellow & "countrified" Saturday night. Great sound, VERY tight playing, and 3 songs in the encore including a nice duet with the guitarist of one of his songs. In addition, her in-between-song banter is great. After the first song, she was talking about being in a building across the street, with no pants on, looking at the crowd (nothing "pervy" as she says). She saw a plate of cookie dough apparently, and said she was just up there "cookie-hawkin'." At other times she was talking about hiring some women in the crowd who were dancing, as the "Neko Case Dancers" complete with costumes and their own bus.... Lots of fun, lots of good music. Oh, yeah, her outfit was funny: plain black shirt, and black pants with bones of the legs as graphics.

Wes is selling a demo Neko D-100 Mk II DAC on Audiogon for a nice price.

Happy Birthday!

Ouch....hope it feels better soon Jacob. I see a small but god market for finger/thumb guards of some sort for chefs.....

Is it me or have we lost some real heavy hitters the past few months....? RIP Bobby....

Some Neko Case, in prep for tonight's show.....

Nice, Ric!

My wife was trying a bit to get me to watch, she even mentioned that as a "selling point."

It's what's for breakfast.....(and actually pretty good for store-brand)

^^^ huh-huh....he said "Jobs" heh-heh....uh, heh.....

Y'all have nothing to worry about, Colin will fix it all..... But until then, no thanks for me as well.....

Happy Birthday!

You said it, Wayne. Don't listen much to his music, but recognize what talent he was. RIP.....

No, but there is likely mod action for being an asshat. EDIT: we even have an emoticon for it! If you had read the welcome PM, you would realize that the behavior of asking the type of question you asked with your first post is not the type of place this is. And then to get defensive about it and sling mud back, only adds fuel to the flames. We ARE kind of a gang here, and it's one of the things that makes this place pretty damn special, and unlike many other forums. You seem to have good thick skin, and that does help. But instead of pissing back, sit back and relax, and read the guidelines for best enjoying this place. Also read some of the threads here, especially the one around Light Harmonic. You'll likely understand a lot more about this place and its inhabitants. Then contribute and be a part of the gang.....

Parasound ZDAC new @ Audio Advisor, $300 http://www.audioadvisor.com/Parasound-Zdac-Digital-to-Analog-Converter/productinfo/PAZDAC/#.U6HwSJRdVg0 Some other decent clearance, too.

Well-stated, Tyler. I like PS Audio, but that was my first thought: why is THAT company doing a Kickstarter campaign.....? Kid seems a bit hipster.....

When Altidore went down I thought that was it....but what a good game, and they came right back when Ghana got the tying goal. Well done!

This. RIP Tony, and indeed fuck cancer!

Weird ending to his life, felt bad for his kids. RIP to a big piece of music history....

Just wanted to wish all dads a Happy Father's Day today. Busy day for us, brunch w/in-laws, a visit to my dad, a graduation party, and MAYBE a dinner out, TBD. My wife Karen comes into our kitchen, where Andrew and I are talking. She steps back into the hallway, and says, "Andrew come here a minute...." Being the 15-yo boy, he annoyingly asks, "What....?!" And I reply, "Mom wants you to sign my card...." Nice chuckles all around. I told him he better write something good or I'll keep beating the shit out of him. I'm not the perfect dad, he's not the perfect son, but I am so much in love with this kid!

Just bought this as well, though paid bigger $ for it.....the only bad part of having a small local place. The old owner is missed a lot, though; new owner doesn't know his Whiskey.
