CD Players with Analogue Sound
Speaking of nice, and also cheap, I have a Phillips 770 CD-R that doesnt sound bad at all. And as far as didgital sounding analog, my bros RA opus 21 sounds nearly as good as his Linn Lp12, and it cost about 1/5 of what the LP 12 did new. Thats sa...

Johnny Marr, of Smiths, Electronic, The The, and now Healers fame. 
Bought Wilco and Cowboy Junkies this weekend....
This may sound completely retarded, but hey Im not scared. I think in order to appreciate YHF you may first need to be a little more versed in Wilco. I think one of the things I liked most abuot YHF was seeing glimpses of it in their previous albu... 
Real Stinkers
I will second Picnic by Robert Earl Keen, Walking Distance is a wonderful album surrounded by two of his mediocre CDs.I will also throw in All You Cant Leave Behind by U2. 
Looking for opinions on ATC Active 10's or 20's...
I have heard the tens and I think they sounded pretty damn crappy myself. The twenties are very nice though. 
The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto
Phasecorrect, I have been a J&MC fan since the mid 80s as well. I got hooked when I heard Happy When It Rains on 120 minutes sometime around the release of Darklands. I still get mad when I hear that damn ripoff by Garbage, I cant remember the...
