Wow, some srs vintage blinkenlight porn here.

Man, my Posty-parsing skills have atrophied. I took me longer than I care to admit to figure out what KC and ITCOTKC stood for. Now you've got me thinking. I'm not sure what version I own on CD. I have a 70s gatefold vinyl version which spent most of my college career as a dorm room decoration, but I digress... After much rummaging, I found my 1980s copy of Physical Graffiti, which is mastered by Barry Diament. Supposedly he did all of the original CDs except for the fourth album. I'm basing that assertion off what I've read online. Led Zep liner notes are notoriously sparse. In a bit, I'm going to wake up my wheezy old Wintel, fire up Exact Audio Copy and rip it to FLAC. It will be interesting to compare the waveforms to the 1990 4CD boxed set and possibly the 1993 and 2008 versions as well.

Age of Stupid (2009). Nice, uplifting film.

Chock FULL of cussin' and utterly NSFW.

Planking is old news at this point. Coning is passe, too. Now it's all about ...stocking?

Holy crapballs. I have been after that album for a decade, but that price is a bit too steep for me. Fortunately, it showing up on the 'Bay prompted me to look around elsewhere and whaddaya know, it's on iTunes.

riceboy!

Archos birthday, happy man!

Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation - 1988 Blast First Enigma release: Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation GDC/Deluxe Edition:x` I posted these before, but they (painfully) illustrate the my point. This is a thread idea I've had for ages. In the age of the brick wall, so many remastered releases sonically inferior to previous releases. Such sins are particularly egregious in the world of classic rock, but the phenomenon plagues nearly every genre. The remaster of Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works: 85-92 managed to wreck what was already a very lo-fi endeavor to start. Right now I'm trying to figure out what is the best Led Zeppelin set. I bought the original 4CD boxed set way back in 1990. In fact, it was the first CD purchase I ever made. I never did pickup the following 2CD set that had the remainder of the catalog not on the first set. I have listened to and enjoyed the Led Zep boxed set for two decades now. In that time there have been quite a few remasters that have followed. 10 CD Complete Studio Recordings (1993) 12 CD SHM set (2008) This insane and semi-official 5LP and 3CD set (2010) Discounting that last one, it seems for remasters there's a battle between the 1993 and 2008 sets. I did some digging and as one might expect, a number of audio snobs prefer the original 1980s CD versions. Most of the original CD releases were done by Barry Diament, who is very well respected in the industry and a staunch opponent against the loudness war. So.... any head-casers have experience with either the 10 or 12 CD sets, and maybe had a chance to compare them to the Diament versions?

As others have said,t his new theme is excellent. head-case
