Lloyd Cole -- Antidepressant Possibly the album about the compromises and consolations of finally growing up in early middle age. Or perhaps it just looks that way to me.

Joe Jackson -- Mike's Murder

Pretty thorough comparison of the ULN-8 and Berkeley Alpha here. ULN-8 shootouts: Next! | Computer Audiophile Barry seems to really love him some Metric Halo.

Fever Ray -- Fever Ray

The Cardigans -- Life

Ran a package up to FedEx. Dropped off the kids' school paperwork. Went for a jog. Paid many bills. Ate a large sandwich. Tried not to browse Audiogon. Failed in that endeavor.

This forum is a veritable nest of Casists. Big Audio Dynamite -- This Is Big Audio Dynamite

Which chip?

Have had that playing in the car for a while. My kids now really like to sing the Dolphin Song bit from "Folding Chair." Loudly. In public. Urr urr, urr urr urr, urr urr urr, urr URRRRRRR! Last night's Housemartins led to this morning's Beautiful South.

And if those wood cups didn't need to go on my HF-1s.

You're wrong.

HF-1 market is looking up again now the 2s are finito. FS: Grado HF-1 - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

The Housemartins -- London 0 Hull 4

Elvis Costello & The Imposters -- The Delivery Man

Enjoy pushing it!

The Cult -- Sonic Temple

Coldplay -- Parachutes I know they're now far too popular and ubiquitous to have any cred, but I liked this very much when it first came out and, listening to it today, still think it's a cracking, heartfelt album.

Cocteau Twins -- Treasure

Jenny Lewis -- Acid Tongue Vinyl

Artist's CD case has theremin built in.

That would make sense. Why would they give up a parallel (and perpetual) revenue stream?

Happy Euro Birthday! Enjoy the ales.

I'm in favor. The computer subforum is useful and hasn't yet materially corrupted the fundamental headphoniness of the site as far as I can see.
