What he said. That is impressively bad luck.

Gotan Project -- Tango 3.0

Steve Earle and the Del McCoury Band -- The Mountain Vinyl

Go Steve!

Tyll, that sounds fun. I like watching movies with my teenage daughter. Dinny, have a dram. Never hurt anyone. Stretch, don't look a gift shovel/snatch in the mouth.

Mississippi John Hurt -- Today! Vanguard 60th Anniversary Vinyl Reissue

I wasn't whistling Dixie here, this was an offer.

I bought some Sony pads for mine awhile back and now I have no idea where they are. Some French guy on HF -- leeperry? -- had a bunch of them.

Quadritto the HC suite idea and offer to pitch in.

My CD3000 or T1 (on loan).

That's a really horny robot.

In like Flynn, playa.

working around the clock and constantly dealing with 24 high school kids does take away from the atmospherics.

Me too

Wow, that is a cool pic. Love that site. My wife is covering for a fellow high school teacher who is stuck in Paris with 24 kids who cannot get out of there. They had been there two weeks before the delay and now they are going nuts. Hard to picture corraling that many disgruntled 17/18 year olds.

Chris Thile -- How to Grow a Woman from the Ground Saw Punch Brothers last night and highly recommend catching them live. Great stuff, but I will post more comments in the concert thread when I have time.

Stay at the CJ hotel, and get there by Thursday afternoon/evening, Greg. Leave late Sunday or Monday. All the cool kids are doing it!

Have you given up on the CD3000? Still think it is a nice option if it can be found. The W2002 is a really nice sounding can, but not sure how much it is or how easy to locate a pair. The W1000 (weak, muddled, too warm) or W5000 (odd for most people) will likely disappoint. I actually like some of the A900 or newer versions of similar AT cans. There is supposed to be a closed T1 coming out. I'll think more on this.

For $100? Sweet.

Nice score, Ken. Hope you like the RR options. Mike, please report on the Lagavulin Distiller's Ed. Sounds fun.

Got that too. Is it good?

1968 baby!

Before: Devo -- Fresh Blue vinyl 12" single [These two songs have me psyched for their new album] Buddy Guy -- A Man and the Blues 180g Vinyl reissue in honor of Vanguard Records' 60th Anniversary Fuckin' A right, Buddy, sometimes I do feel like drinkin' me some gasoline and strikin' me a match and blowin' me up in steam.

QFT. I had read about it so I had more of a clue, but it was still a bit disconcerting. QFMFT. I just missed being able to meat her today because she was signing records at Amoeba a little while before I went over there. Was: Jeff Beck -- Emotion and Commotion Vinyl. Very odd record with strings and Over the Rainbow and Joss Stone and some classic JB licks all mixed together, with lots of shmaltz on top. Probably could have skipped this purchase. Is: Joanna Newsome -- Have One On Me Vinyl (3 records). I like it so far although there are numerous vinyl flaws and I will have to exchange it and hope I get a better one. And speaking of putting the love in, the record sleeves all have kind of boudoir photos that really got my attention fast.
