It's what everyone needs! Nice.

Hot Chip -- The Warning I tried to listen to the new album by Vampire Weekend but it sucks (pun intended) even worse than their first one. Horrible.

Don't forget the Chicken-n-Waffling to come!

You missed it because it isn't in this thread.

Feel better you sickos!

I agree Conan has struggled because he was not being himself and just continuing his style from the old show because of all the old timers who watch The Tonight Show. But he is dead right that Leno floundered in the beginning and was given a lot of support a lot of slack and a lot of time to make it happen. I am not even a huge Conan fan -- I hardly watch any of the late night shows -- but he got screwed by the incredibly bad management decisions you mention.

Unbelievable that NBC could screw up The Tonight Show transition so badly. If they wanted to get rid of Leno they should have gotten all the way rid of him. Having him at 10pm undermined Conan's chances for a successful start, left doubt hanging in the air, and completely flopped as a format because Leno sucks. Instead of flip-flopping after 6 years of planning to get rid of him, they should have let him go when it failed. Now, Conan is quitting and the stupid-ass hack Leno is back at 11:30. Are they just going to pull a Dallas by giving him the show back and pretending it was all a bad dream? Conan's fuck you message to NBC is well done, imo: People of Earth: In the last few days, I

The Gilded Palace of Sin -- You Break Our Hearts, We'll Tear Yours Out

Holy shit that is hawt!

Laura Veirs -- Saltbreakers

Nice going Ric! That should be a nice upgrade!

Did you buy the HP 21yo or something else Stretch? I guess it is truly only available duty free so I gotta remember that in airports...

The reality is that Wayne is going to love being a dad but it is going to cramp his freedom something fierce. I am betting he will work it out so that he can still travel plenty but certainly not as much as previously. It will be interesting to watch how you handle it either way, buddy!

fwiw, I really like that new Laura Veirs album^ Nana Grizol -- Ruth

The Naim Uniti and Qute are pretty damn cool with wifi streaming and such. I hadn't looked that closely before.

Laura Veirs -- July Flame

Jeez, can't you plan these things better, Mike?

Have a great one Lloyd! I hope Becky bakes you up something special, because her standard treats are out of this world already! Looking forward to seeing you all next month. Cheers!

Who knew? It actually started life as "Rosscoe's Chicken & Waffles" but the Real Roscoe's in LA sued them so they hometowned it.

WAT?

That cab ride took about the same time as the flight would take. Would you actually eat this time? More economical solution would be to overnight some Roscoes to Chicago. I'll investigate.

For two different people, I am looking to recommend compact non-audiophile 2-channel systems, one under $1K and one over. Any new thinking on the under? Any ideas for the over? I'm thinking of recommending the Arcam Solo/Solo Mini with some Harbeths or something like that for the over. He can afford good stuff but he wants something compact for a place in Manhattan. Are there other CD/Integrated/DAC kind of products people can recommend? I don't think computer audio is likely, but iPod connection is likely. Anybody ever heard Sonics speakers by Joachim Gerhard? Those are being recommended to him. Thanks.
