John Wizards -- S/T Check this one out. Think some of you would really like it.

Fair and reasonable, as ever. You'd be terrific mod on any board that didn't excommunicate people for having any presence anywhere else they might find offensive for any reason!

Link gave me AIDS.

Frank Black -- Odd Balls

Sexbot with built-in high quality electrostatic amplifier. Or high quality electrostatic amp with built-in sexbot. Whichever you think will have the better sound quality.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday. Ho ho ho!

Straight ballin'!

Why is (almost) every post in this thread edited? Perhaps they initially contained too much awesome ...

Mark Knopfler -- Privateering

Happy Birthday Jim! Enjoy your day!

I did, thanks! Gonna crank this all day today. The Clash -- Sound System (Box Set)

Volcano Choir -- Repave

Have been shit testing this all day and must say I'm very pleasantly surprised. Throwing all sorts of obscure stuff at the wall to see what sticks, and generally the depth of what comes back is impressive. Happily listening to "Durutti Column Radio" for the last hour or so now without a single skip. Win. (Must be leveraging off the effort already put into Genius over the last few years?)

On the plus side, the EP kicks ass. So the system works!

Lorde -- The Love Club First thing iTunes Radio has sold me, about 20 seconds into first hearing "Royals."

I did. Please save that one until we have a chance to get together!

Keane -- Strangeland You've got nothing to hide, you can't change who you really are. You can get a big house and a faster car. You can run away, boy, but you won't ... go ... far.

Thanks all. My Dad turned 92 this week too, so hopefully still a few good ones in prospect ... Should be an interesting year -- kinda looking forward to being on the move again.

Dog and elephant friends play fetch.

Happy Birthday Despak! Spin some platters!

New Neko Case. This is going to be on for a while ...
