But not the last.

That's where the vinotemp goes. Duh.

David Bowie -- The Man Who Sold The World

Yeah, rookie mistake. Think I clawed it back a bit by asking if she'd rather the cash flow went to something like Sox/Pats season tickets, where she'd have the added bonus of being lumped with the kids all day on the weekend. Meanwhile, I shall seek wisdom among the aphorisms.

I was mellow enough last night to remark to the wife that one could "easily" blow $10,000 on an analog front end. This was a major tactical error. I believe that what was previously regarded as a silly, but mostly harmless, hobby has vaulted onto the serious uxorial shit list previously reserved for things like motorbikes and overly-nubile babysitters.

They couldn't locate a BJ in my area.

Haven't heard that yet, but Le Pas Du Chat Noir was great. I'm going to go find it and listen to it again.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds -- The Boatman's Call

Is it wrong that I want to? Is that mayo on there? Jesus God, save my bod!

Yay. I am!

Aphex Twin -- Selected Ambient Works Volume II

Sounds like you need bourbon!

Twat wire, you say? They certainly know their target market!

I read on Head-Fi that Edition 8s sound just like Focal Grand Utopias.

Sudden segue, this was in the latest MusicDirect catalog. Nice feature set, with a mono switch and built-in cartridge demagnetizer. I really love the look of Luxman gear.

I've heard it said a couple of times that idlers are not for those who can't (or don't want to) be their own mechanics. You guys are not exactly exploding the stereotype.

Milspec op-amps.

Hott!

I would guess it's aimed at the Peachtree stuff. The Decco and Nova seem to have done really well.

Andrew Bird's Bowl Of Fire -- Oh! The Grandeur!

No. It was killed in The Great Rationalization.

Monkey is letting himself go a bit.

The Stone Roses -- The Stone Roses (20th Anniversary Vinyl Remaster) Oh fuck yeah!

Your argument would be more convincing if you hadn't bought two of them.

Are we talking about audio equipment or relationships here? I can't tell.
