A guy that used to work for me got a job as music buyer for a local Borders. He left in frustration because the employees hated "that avant-garde shit" he would buy. I have to admit, after he left, I took advantage of all the deep discounts on the stuff that was left that they couldn't sell - stuff ordered thru Cadence Distribution mostly! --- Now playing: Anthony Braxton - Tangerine

STAX/VOLT - The Complete Soul Singles 1968-71
rostasi replied to rockefeller center's topic in Miscellaneous Music
Well, you got those Booker T, Otis, and Rufus/Carla Thomas sides that stand out. plus, I have a soft spot for the Mad Lads sides. but I still think vol 2 is the killer, cause you got Black Moses, about a dozen Johnnie Taylor sides, Staple Singers, Soul Children (despite the lisp) and even the Funky Penguin and the Funky Chicken(!) Damn! --- Now playing: DJ Cheb I Sabbah - Shri Durga -

STAX/VOLT - The Complete Soul Singles 1968-71

OH, man! Do it definitely! I have all three boxes and the second is THE period. Drool-worthy at a great price! Even the third set would be great at that price! Stax-Volt (I don't totally agree with Erlewine here, but you can look over the list of songs while your away from the store). --- Now playing: Iancu Dumitrescu - Objet Sonore Mysterieux (II) -

No prob Ron! Yesterday and today I spent getting a new basic Eclipse CD/mp3 player and a new amp for the Corolla, but all will be transfered to the Prius this autumn. Yup, Chris is right. You'll hear anew! Rod --- Now playing: Walter Scharf - The Shark Affair

This is but one reason why you are a friend of mine! ← aw, shucks... (i can't figure out what the "blush" smiley is doing with his "hand?"), but you know the importance and impact both of these guys have made on music! Intelligent perception rates high on my friendship "meter" and that's why you're definitely there! (other reasons too, of course, like considering playing songs like "Crepuscule With Ricky"..."Darn That Sock"..."Rin Tin Tin Deo"... ) By the way, I think most of the younger generation showed up at the DMA 'cause he was "Chef" and not "Shaft" --- Now playing: Duke Pearson - Bunda Amarela (Little Yellow Streetcar) -
Also, a direct answer to your question: I think that if it's going back and forth from side A to B and back, etc..., then it sounds like the tension sensor may be shot. Usually one of the first things to go. No music in the 93 Corolla for a few months now - actually quite liberating (but I don't commute). Something about Texas summers tho that make you want tunes again while traveling... --- Now playing: Iancu Dumitrescu - Meteors & Pulsars (II)

Could be worse. We gotta guy here who's been in business since the 70's. He looks you over and then tells you the price. Your attractiveness and (potential) sexuality is what determines the final price. Creep he is... --- Now playing: Ivor Cutler - Gruts For Tea

Ron, what timing! This last week I was looking to replace my car cassette player with another one but cheaper (another Prius may be joining the household this autumn). The prob that I was running into was that they are SO cheap, that if you decide to have someone else install it (Best Buy, Fry's...heck, just about ANY stereo store), you'd end up paying, for example $40 install on a $50 - $75 deck(!) Also, try to find someone with more than 1 or 2 in stock. My regular place up near Sngry's house sold their last one 3 weeks ago and said that they could special order. Anyway, for the old car, I'm going real basic CD/mp3 with a direct out for a future iPod if I decide to get one. Appointment in Plano, TX on Monday @ 1PM. Maybe if you self-install, then a cheapy could be the way to go, but you can get a basic CD unit at about $150.
