When is it to hot to cut the grass?
It hit 102* yesterday with more of the same expected today. Needless to say the lawn will have to wait. 
Listening chair suggestions
I have been using the Ikea Poang chair and ottermen for years now. I love it. It has a soothing rocking motion that I find comforting as I grow older, with that in mind, it is time for a more mature chair, one with the style and design to accent m... 
Why does most new music suck?
Because all the good creative drugs are gone. 
Kid Creole & Coconuts
I used to see them in NYC at the Ritz in their prime. They played the Stone Pony too. My buddy Gary known as Jr. Smoots in a local reggae band called the Disturbers was friends with the guitar player whose style was a perfect fit for the band. The... 
New VPI anti-static mat for Classic Platter
Please stop defending "Harry" as if he were your uncle. His company has made excellent products in the past and still does but his pricing policy is a marketing dream come true. Every "improvement" he comes up with, and believe me some are ludicro... 
How Good Is A Marble Slab at Deadening Vibration
I tried stone. It was cold and shrill. I went right back to maple.There is a tremendous difference in sound. If you prefer bright tinny sound compared to warm and natural then use your marble slab.

Bruce Springsteen, We are alive...
It appears that Max now just "pounds" the drums as opposed to "playing" the drums. He used to be one of my favorite drummers but now he's just predicable and boring. 
Donna Summer, rip
A very nice lady and talented singer. She made a lot of people happy in her day. 
Best Live Album Ever...
Bless its pointed little head, Jefferson Airplane. 
digital vs vinyl thoughts
My thought is vinyl sounds better then digital. 
What did you own in the 60's?
I remember being impressed by Dual and Gerrard tuntables, Fisher amps and Advent speakers back then. 
Vinyl pressing/ So Beautiful or so what...
My new copy had some burrs in the spindle hole and seemed a little rough around the edge but I liked it that way, very industrial. A solid pressing. On a related subject, do you guys clean and wash a new album prior to playing it? I don't mean run... 
Paul Simon: So Beautiful or So What
As I started playing it for the first time I immediately got on the computer and purchased a ticket for the Bogotá in Atlantic City. This album is great. My favorite is album of his is Hearts and Bones and the Sound-Smith guy Peter Ledermann told ...
