@devinplombier - Thank you, Devin; I was trying to think of Peter's name but it wasn't coming to me.   
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
@mylogic - for awhile, anyway, Milli Vanilli might have met that description, once people found out they didn't perform on their records.

@ghdprentice - sorry for the off-topic, but you're a photographer? I am as well; I used to be a concert photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area through the 1970's, and quite a good one at that (everybody needs something they don't suck at!); I'... 
Does cover art of an album or recording influences your purchase?
Absolutely - that's a big reason why I prefer vinyl to CD's or streaming. I'm a photographer and I can appreciate what I consider to be great album artwork. I may not buy something based on the art, but it will certainly bring it to my attention m...

@hbarrel - you're talking about an 'email not received' message from the email daemon? I've had that happen to me with a couple of companies where their domain would just not accept my emails, even though I had no problem with any number of the my...
