Anouar Brahem -- The Astounding Eyes Of Rita

PayPal is horrible, period. Part of their business model is the sequestering of funds on the (proven) assumption that a portion of these will simply never be reclaimed and can then fall right through to the bottom line. Do not EVER link your PP account to your primary bank account. There are many, many stories of large, random dips with repayment stonewalled right up until the initiation of legal action. If PayPal wasn't so ubiquitous in our gear trading milieu, I wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole.

Sucks right now, too.

The Shins -- Oh, Inverted World Vinyl.

Out of respect for my good lady wife, I shall remain mute on this particular issue.

A while ago, apparently. Was news to me, too. Built To Spill at Insound Built to Spill WB remastered [Archive] - SH Forums Looks like I might have got their last LP copy of YIR, sorry.

See? Nyah nyah!

The Smiths -- The Queen Is Dead Vinyl.

Dirty Projectors -- Bitte Orca Vinyl. Very fine.

Just ordered them. I'll let you know. But the consensus online seems to be they are very good. I have their latest album here and it's the first where they didn't record to analog tape. But even that still sounds much, much better on the vinyl than on the accompanying CD.

I'm sure the LPs will be real happy when the entire first batch is given away to friends and family and it is then discovered there is no market for the second run except the freaks, who all have two free pairs already.

That's one way to get a spare driver! Nitty Gritty 2.5Fi-XP

Just remember that everything you buy will at some stage be puked on (and worse) by your little bundle of joy and probably punted across the room by you at least once when it fails to assemble/collapse/function properly. So don't get too dazzled by teh shiny.

Will you guys please shut up? It's been well established that Upgraditis is eminently transmissable over the Internet and I have a severely compromised analog immune system as it is.

Built To Spill -- There Is No Enemy Vinyl. This is a killer album. Every time I listen to it I like it more.

Drool.

Nice! If he had it on a Continuum table it's probably had an extremely pampered life, too.

^^^ I am a complete Lloyd Cole diehard, but Easy Pieces is one strange album. Contains both some his best songs and some of his worst. Radiohead -- OK Computer

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday. Take pictures!

Needs moar gold bits.

Snowed in with the kids for a second day. Wind is whipping outside and the chill is well below zero. Looks like I picked the wrong week etc. etc. In Australia!
