+1000. She's less use than a box of Blackbodies.

Dead Can Dance -- Spiritchaser

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.

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'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!
