The Debate's Not Over
Does Micky's Monkey ring a bell? Now that was real music straight from the heart back in the day when Smokey was singing about his High school sweetheart Micky. 
The Debate's Not Over
O.K. then let's compare Smokey with Monkey. I'll take Monkey 24/7 over Smokey anyday of the week until my back goes out or my toungue goes numb. Smokey,The Beatles,The Beach Boys, Dylan,The Rolling Stones all went into music for monkey. Monkey win...

MOODY BLUES CD'S
The remasters sound just as good as the imports. I mean for the money they want for the japanese import you could pick up the mofi's on ebay. 
What new gear will you be buying this year?
A record cleaning machine is on the horizon for this year. I have so much vinyl and I'm cleaning with a Nitty Gritty 1.00 and I owe it to myself to get a really nice one. 
Sinatra question
Sessions,recordings or whatever these three double albums were everything that they recorded together for RCA. Everything you are saying about Dorsey/Sinatra is in the liner notes and it was just released on Cd. Frank replaced Jack Leonard at 100....

What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock?
Hey this blog has turned toward the Tice Power clock of which I own two. I have found the best benifit to insert the power plug into the pre amp. I have had them go UNCHARGED and have sent them back when they were still in business to be recharged... 
Yup Power Cords
If you are not using a line conditioner then the power chord will make a huge difference. I use both an Adcom ACE 515 and Cardas Hex Chords. I have heard the biggest benifit is from putting one on your power Amp. Now if you have a dedicated line f... 
Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded

Top Five for 2005

Where do you buy "NEW/Current" LPs?
Ameoba Records in Hollywood. They have a pretty good selection of new and current Vinyl. I buy on Ebay too only if it is sealed for hard to find OOP. I will take a chance on an open record but I check feedback for stuff like "record as described" ...
