Ani Difranco
A while back there was a thread "Sexiest female voice?" I listed Ani. Her voice really gets me. Of the five Ani Difranco cds I own, Up Up Up is my favorite, also the first one I bought. Try "To the Teeth," it's a close second for me. The sonics on... 
Should we upgrade high end fuses?
Recently upgraded the laces in my tennis shoes. Jump higher, run faster? You gotta try it to believe it. 
Has anyone had good experiences with trading?
Why not list your items with "Trades welcome" in the ad. I've done several transactions with trade as part of the payment either way. 
Billy Preston Dies
They called him the fifth Beatle on the radio station I heard the announcement on. I recall reading how he had a calming affect on the Beatles when he was invited to sit in during some of their later sessions.

A Reference Recording....
OK you got me. I just ordered "Rising" and "Live at the Backstage Gate" from cdbaby.com for $27. One of my favorite things about cdbaby is I can pay with paypal. I've rarely been steered wrong with music recommendations here.

Favorite Non-Major Record Label
Red House Records is my favorite. Get a copy of "A Nod to Bob." It's a fantastic tribute to Mr. Dylan and a nice introduction to Red House artists.Bloodshot Records is another good one.As Lngbruno said, cdbaby.com is a great place to find new music. 
Mixed Results from My Hifi
