  1. It isn't as specific, but I'm listening to a lot less "New" and "Popular" music. In the past I have tried to give a listen to the new and popular releases in hopes of finding a hidden gem. Unfortunately, it seems that it has become so rare to find anything I consider worth a second listen that I tend to stick mostly to old favorites. The current releases I do listen to tend to be new material from known artists. (Like a new Diana Krall album)
  2. This is beyond strange... But a lot of fun.
  3. Now I have heard it. I suspect it would bring great happiness to my youngest grand daughter...
  4. $29.99 !!!!!!! We used to sell new sealed MFSL records for less that that.
  5. A blonde teenager, wanting to earn some extra money for the summer, decided to hire herself out as a "handy-woman" She started canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do. "Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch," he said, "How much will you charge me?" Delighted, the girl quickly responded, "How about $50?" The man agreed and told her that the paint brushes and everything she would need was in the garage. The man's wife, hearing the conversation said to her husband, "Does she realize that our porch goes ALL the way around the house?" He responded, "That's a bit cynical, isn't it?" The wife replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes we've been getting by email lately." Later that day, the blonde teenager came to the door to collect her money. "You're finished already?" the startled husband asked. "Yes, she replied, and I even had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50.00 and handed it to her along with a $10.00 tip. “And, by the way," the teenager added, "it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus."
  6. This was quite good... Not what I expected.
  7. One of my favorite movies...
  8. This should be an interesting journey. I will be watching to see how it goes.
  9. I'm going to guess Dierks Bentley
  10. There are a small number of topics (Like Website Support) that require approval to post in. There aren't many and you likely will not encounter it very often.
  11. This may be the end result of OCCD....
  12. For years I used a VPI and it did an acceptable job on records that were in decent condition to start with. I had a chance to play with 3 variations on the cleaners with ultrasonic tanks and even the cheap one did a significantly better job than the VPI. Side by side, the Audio Desk cleaner was more automated and "tinker free" but didn't do any better than a basic ultrasonic. There are a few similar fluids available that do a great job or if you will use a large amount of it you can mix your own. As long as it contains Tergitol (both 3 & 9) it should work well and be safe. (If you need to clean records that have been left to mold in the basement there is an anti-fungal additive that is recommended but I haven't used it)
  13. Welcome! It is always nice to have new faces.
  14. I remember having a copy of Santana Supernatural on DVD-A and it sounded fantastic.

    New Jazz Albums

    Laila is a great talent and this a fine album. (I prefer some of her earlier material but this is getting some crossover airplay) Refugee is my favorite cut. I suspect that the other nominees are worth a listen also...
  16. This would be my two favorites... Both get regular play here.
  17. I have a commercial resurfacer and can fix it if you send it here. It appears that there is no label side damage so it should clean up nicely.
  18. Welcome... I think you will enjoy your time here. There are some very nice folks who will always be glad to help you.
