Looks like fan access is pretty simple, so it probably wouldn't be hard to find out. Or to sub in a super-quiet replacement of choice.

Blur -- 13 Brings back some really good memories of London in the summer of 1999. I think it still stands up well, but that assessment may well be somewhat clouded by nostalgia.

Not cheap, but looks quite nice as a pure storage solution. I have a couple of their single external enclosures and they've been very reliable. I wonder if they'd sell it unbundled if one asked very, very politely?

The ice cream truck drove by the house for the first time this Spring. Great excitement!

After reading this, I just backed up twice.

Thomas Dolby -- Aliens Ate My Buick

I hope Audio-gd have the capital to absorb the hit, anyway, as they do seem to be on the side of the angels. Do you have any idea of the scale of the operation, Currawong?

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals -- Jacksonville City Nights

Helped my neighbor install a hot tub in his back yard. On the way home I bumped into his teenage son: "Hey Mark, you get to use the new spa?" (Smile) "Yeah." "Did you ever see Election?" (Big smile) "Yeah!"

Bob Marley And The Wailers -- LIVE!

Prince -- Purple Rain Kevin Gray remaster, 24/96 vinyl rip

What's the case made out of, marble?

Aaarrr whore.

The Eagles -- Hotel California Kevin Gray remaster, 24/96 vinyl rip.

RHODIUM or GTFO.

Yeah, would that that was so easy to just dial down.

You forgot tubey. That's worth plenty!

John Hiatt -- Slow Turning

Should get together with these geniuses.

Isn't Boulder supposed to have 300 sunny days a year? Always thought that sounded pretty cool.

Tahoe for you, sir.

John Hiatt -- Bring The Family

San Diego.

My friendly local Ayre dealer says they're getting one in any day now and would be happy to lend it to me for a week to try out at home. So, woot!
