Or somebody needs to find a new place to hide.....

Hi! I assume you've been warned which of us to ignore/avoid? (Mostly me and Gene..... ) Welcome aboard!

Unexpected gift from my dad. Remastered 180g re-issue LP

Just found the mail - mine is here too! Thanks to Mark for putting this together, and to Perry for making the shipping work!

North Korea Accuses U.S. of Staging Internet Failure Hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Gene, look closer. It's NOT "Sailor Moon is my Harsh Mistress".......

C'mon Kev! You know you have obsessive compulsive gear flipping syndrome.......

I like and have most of his stuff. Check it out!

We were talkin' about LP's right? Not the vinyl dominatrix?

Well, not always!

Mastering for vinyl - back when it was an artform - properly done, would bring all the desired information of the recording out, based on the dynamic limitations of the medium. When CD's first arrived, the sound mastering was often 'engineered' to maximize the available dynamic range and not the pleasing qualities of the music. A lot of those older CD's are nasty. People often forget that recorded music is not live music, and never will be. The true genius in the mastering process to to present the music in such a way that the listener will 'forget' they are listening to a simulation of the real thing and immerse themselves in enjoying the message and not the medium.

So we will share the good beer.

The source recording and final mastering have great consequence on the perceived sound quality of the final product.

I collect music. The storage medium is a secondary consideration.

Well, if you uppity aliens would just share transporter technology......

If the demand continues to grow, the investors will come. Investment is all about potential for profit.

Thats partly because the $billions in subsidies (your tax dollars) that the post office gets are not applied to international shipments. & I can see that. Our government decided to end all tax money going to CanPost, the result was a huge jump in prices along with major cuts in service.

Maybe USPS thinks the Canucks celebrate Christmas in October - like Thanksgiving, so they have all kinds of time!

Waitin' on Gene to figgur it out!

From the land of the unpronounceable last names.......

I let you let me down again Written by Ed Welsh, recorded by Shirley Bassey, Brenda Lee. Not the first time nor the last Love's a memory fading fast I was doing fine but then I let you, let me down again. Didn't want to be your clown Build me up then let me down I wanted love, you gave me pain I let you, let me down again. In the time it takes to say All the things I had to say You changed your mind and went away Oh, why couldn't you stay. You didn't even say goodbye You didn't even cry You left me standing in the rain And I let you, let me down again. In the time it takes to say All the things I had to say You changed your mind and went away Oh, why couldn't you stay. Not the first time nor the last Love's a story from the past And it always ends the same I let you, let me down again. Oh, oh, I let you, let me down again...
