    Greetings and welcome. Your background reveals you're a nutter like the rest of us.

    Anything with the words "Star" and "Wars" in the title.

    I don't have nearly such a fatalistic view of Netflix. Lately I've been focusing on their foreign offerings to get views from a different perspective whether it be films or television series. For $10 a month there's a whole world of programming access. That said, I wholehearted and enthusiastically recommend the Australian series called Rake. It's truly terrific! Forget the banal attempt at an American remake starring Greg Kinnear - it's absolutely drab by comparison.

    Ekhidna is the latest from Norwegian guitar phenom Hedvig Mollestad. This one is a solo outing having preferred to drop 'Trio' from the artist name. What to expect? Well, suppose Jimmy Page and Tony Iommi were mashed together and sent off to jazz school and you have something of an idea of Hedvig's playing, but that's not really the whole of it. Expect avant-garde soundscapes with heavy grooves in a free-form atmosphere. I just discovered her and quickly grabbed all her music. Simply phenomenal!

    I met bassist John Avila in 2007 and attended an intimate performance with him absolutely wailing on his Vigier bass accompanied by his daughter singing. They were simply breathtaking. Though this is clearly a Danny Elfman driven performance, the way John's baseline enters the song is perfection. The song itself is sublime. For lyrical imagery it closely rivals Eleanor Rigby. Dig.

    MFTJ is a collaboration between Australian producer Scott Schor and the incomparable Mike Keneally. Released in early April, MFTJ get's in your face throughout the album in a freaked out funky psycho manner. Dig. https://mftj.bandcamp.com

    Look up Michael Hedges. He was a near genius on harp guitar.

    I saw that ad, and sighed because they were too far away. Good on you for giving them a proper home!

    My main speakers are Amazing Plat Hybrids. After first hearing a pair over 10 years ago I knew I had to have some and, after a reasonable wait, I located a set for sale about 3 hours from where I lived. They rode home in the back of my truck on a semi-inflated air mattress and have since survived two more moves.

    I'm not sure how someone can give a recommendation as to whether you go with Cerwin Vega again or try something else. It's really a personal preference, however I'd suggest listening to a broad range of speakers and pick something you like. Usually questions like this fill up with responses from people advocating for what they chose for themselves. You can get a lot of speaker for a grand.

    I've had XM/Sirius in 2 vehicles and frankly I though it sounded awful. They never shut it off after the trial period in the second vehicle although I couldn't stand hearing it. Perhaps that's different for other vehicle owner's who may enjoy it but I didn't even listen when it was free.

    Coming out of Great Britain, of all places, comes The Lucky 13s. Here's a flavor closer to Motown than Liverpool. Their debut album is forthcoming but this single is available now a www.thelucky13s.com
