New Order -- Low Life Never get tired of listening to Peter Hook just killing this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWn0FjYSazU

It's a great movie and Viggo is great in it. He's one of my favorite actors and I am very much looking forward to The Road, which was one of my favorite books of a few years ago. Kind of the antithesis of bullshit like 2012.

New Order -- Brotherhood

Well, it would only be $50 and a gob of solder to you sir.

The New Pornographers -- Twin Cinema

I can get you one, Nate. Found a place that has all of the 2009 Antique Collection bottlings for $66 each. I was thinking of picking up the Stagg plus either the Weller or Eagle Rare. Opinions?

Oh no it isn't!

Your tender loving care of Wolfbait. http://www.head-case.org/forums/45484-post28.html

Animal Collective -- Merriweather Post Pavilion Vinyl. Again. Know I'm late to this one, but I really dig it.

Good to see Dan was just as big a douche back then. Fuckbag FTW.

Happy Birthday!

Tubeway Army -- Replicas

Or try a Grado. Happy to send you a Gold that's sitting around doing nothing, if you like. If you're committed to low-mass, you could haunt A'gon for a Shure V15 Type VxMR.

Looks like that tab is now in considerable dispute. The restaurant owner says it was Roman Abramovich and some buds. His people call bullshit. Presumably the owner will now get carved up in a steam room after a naked, slow motion, floppy-cock knife fight.

Gary Numan -- The Pleasure Principle

I have one of those. It appears to work well.

Only the hoi polloi, Duggeh. The quality can afford front loaders and get to pat themselves on the back for using less water and being vaguely Euro.

Cut your hair and get married already, dammit. Speaking of power pop, did you get the Best of Matthew Sweet that I had up? The Smiths -- Meat Is Murder Rhino reissue vinyl.

I guess she appreciated your F-mount. Giggity!

You're a cold fish, Reks. Sorry, Baggers.

I miss my GS-1.

It's pretty close, but just sounds a little more "natural" straight from the record. Who knows why -- his system setup, my system setup, his A/D, my D/A? Lot of points in the chain. I guess the next step would be to make my own drop of it and then compare the digital files. I'm probably more lazy than I am geeky, though. Real nice to listen to either way!

Nice to see those Goldman bonuses are already trickling down to street level! Quality aside, that's also some fairly yeoman drinking for a table of six.

Yes, as is this. Talking Heads -- 77 Sitting here geeking out by going back and forth between the actual vinyl on my turntable, and a hi-res needledrop of the same pressing made on somebody else's rig. It's quite interesting.
