Bat For Lashes -- Fur And Gold

Bolton was also up to his eyeballs in Iran-Contra, so he knows a bit about dealing directly with despots and terrorists.

I took a dump, too.

The Durutti Column -- LC

Story. Of. My. Life.

It's funny how no one ever uses their amps. Pristine! Hardly burned in!

Impractical, but just plain neat. Contexture Design: 45 Nano

I thought you were over audio?

Ditto! Here's one for you, Sammich. 100TB SSD, 60GB/s throughput.

For now...

Sorry Al. Get well soon! And don't forget the holistic liquid pain care routine.

The new one is pretty good. Their first release -- from 1998 or so -- is also solid and it's interesting to see how they've evolved.

Sia -- Some People Have Real Problems

With about 150 hours of use to date, either my HD800s have burned in considerably or my ears have adjusted to them considerably. While they still spotlight bad recordings quite brightly (ho ho), I don't find myself wincing nearly as much on the vocal sibilants and cymbals that initially made such a splash. (ha ha) My pair still ping annoyingly, but I keep putting off actually sending them in for service. The thought of being without them for an extended period scares me sennsless. (hee hee)

Or the North Korean state news agency is not an entirely unimpeachable source?

Sounds nice?

Peter Gabriel -- Plays Live If you don't own this, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Dew eet.

Welcome. That's a pretty good step, too. I just bought this refurbished Thorens 160. Seller threw in a Grado Gold cartridge and Pro-Ject Phonobox II at fairly close to eBay prices plus install and setup for free. Nice guy. Seemed like a decent place to start with vinyl while staying in the hundreds. Now I guess I need some, like, actual platters, man.

Neil Young -- Harvest

Might have bought a Thorens.

Not I. Now this one, on the other hand...

Doubt it. The Web site says sign up to be notified for the next run. Craig's just got his hands full.

T2?
