| Whats on your turntable tonight? bslon, reubent et. al.--really great obscure picks (hitmen. wire train)--nice to meet some fellow travelers. in the same vein: the johnsons--break tomorrows day the neats--blues end blue crippled pilgrims--under water | |
| Songs that sound like Dylan the stones' "jigsaw puzzle" is so overtly dylanesque as to veer close to parody. always like it, tho. | |

| new headphones recommendation? grado gs3000e or… for sparkling highs w/o boomy bass i'd look at hifiman arya or 1000; focal clear is also vg. | |
| Warning for Revel lovers i've had a couple of interactions with revel's customer service/parts departments over the years and all have been frustrating--considering they're a division of a gazillion dollar conglomerate, they're like dealing with some chaotic third world, ... |
