Voltron

I can't tell you how many times that album was played in my dorm during sophomore year (when it was released). Holy shit was I sick of the "Scorps!" for a long time thereafter.

Nouvelle Vague -- 3 Fun with covers!

Same. Well, when I had them.

Yes, that is the beginning of it.

Dinny, I too hope you get a good and comfortable fit this time. I think your measured posts on these wonder-cans will blossom into the proper joy and adoration after the re-fit! Without getting into the fray, I was going to say that they looked right side up from the pic. Anyway, they are very cool looking, even if not quite as fierce as the model, and they will sound great no matter what. I suggest you try them right out of the ULN-8 headphone jack and you will be very pleased. Assuming, of course, you are up to speed and have the setup working.

Corinne Bailey Rae -- The Sea

Better get yourself a haircut, Dinny

Marvin Gaye -- What's Going On [Rarities Edition with Detroit Mixes]

I guess my First Edition hardback of Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction will be worth a little more now. [/crass self-interested take on event]

Scorpions -- Blackout

This evening Ric, Shelly, and I wished JP a fond farewell from the Left Coast by taking him out to the Trappist and Luka's Taproom in Oaktown. It was a sad occasion from my perspective, but fun to send him out in some amount of style. I'm gonna miss ya, buddy, but it was fun having you around. Is Grawk going to have to be New New Mike? Cheers.

If only the fetus was holding a tablet in the 2010 poster. Now that would be something.

Wut? Did you foresake the ULN-2?

^You Apple apologist, you!

Grandioso seems like a really stupid name for headphones. Merriam agrees: Main Entry: gran

Stanley Turrentine -- Hustlin' Donny McCaslin Trio -- Recommended Tools

That's so cool, Dinny!

I had a leftover grilled cheese for lunch! This was better, though.

Nice dinner at home with my kids, consisting of chicken piccata, rice, and mixed greens. A small drop of chardonnay went nicely.

Rava & Bollani -- The Third Man Toe -- For Long Tomorrow Dave Alvin -- Blackjack David

Good to hear! You were missed in LA.

And yet you did it anyway. 'nuff said.

BTW, no double rooms on June 4-5 again. Kept cozy king bed reservation, but will try again another time. I've never seen a hotel's reservations/availability fluctuate as much as this place.

Dr. Wood's work, indeed.
