Saskatchewan - 45 Spent a little time in Saskatoon and have friends there so hope the Riders win.

Arrived today. Look forward to listening over the weekend. Thanks Jim.

On a related note, recently read this in the 'New Yorker'. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/culture/2013/10/jonathan-schwartz-favorite-cds-recordings-american-songbook.html

Seems appropriate today.

I kind of agree. Lou to me was one of the true giants, up there with Dylan. Good appreciation from the Guardian. http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/oct/27/lou-reed-velvet-underground-rock-music Very sad day.

Will always be difficult for me to not think of Eric and Ernie when Andre Previn is mentioned (I was born in Luton).

Same here Brownie, the various Disk Union stores around Tokyo have excellent selections of used CD's often at lower prices than the cheapest Amazon sellers. When I do buy online it is almost always from one of the Amazon sites.

Picked this up for around $19 in a Disk Union store sale.

Knew I would need this eventually, just waiting for the right price ($40).

I'm enjoying it more as it goes along. Me too. Five episodes now, really excellent television.

I don't know who Hans is, but I agree with this sentiment whole-heartedly. He's the guy who turned a thread about Chris being in a documentary into a thread about him and Aloc....all the while proclaiming he's innocent of what most everyone thinks he meant, but are now twisting what he meant (wink, wink) to what he didn't mean (wink wink). Ironically, he also proclaimed he was leaving the board....if you're going to do that.....might as well do it in a thread that was meant to be about Chris....but still posts....and apparently doesn't have me on ignore. The melodrama! There will be a pop quiz on this. And you are simply a troll. I would miss Hans if he stopped posting here. Not you. Agreed, hope Hans sticks around, he is a very valuable contributor to this board.

Only album I have by her is this but I like it a lot. I think she is particularly good on ballads.

Yes, right. Notice how much stuff this article is trying to sell you? From this side ot the Atlantic, Americans are viewed as being a bit too fetishistic about cleanliness. Mind you, I've got to say that it's a pleasure to have a piss or a crap in public loos in America, but nowhere else I've been in the world. MG You should come to Tokyo MG. Best toilets anywhere with all the bells and whistles!
