  1. couw likes music, but couw likes his wallet as well. ordering these disks in non CP format from the states is an option, but german custums are very good at their work and eager to please, and even if they wouldn't throw on another howmanypercentisitanyway, the disks would come more than twice what I pay for CP disks when I get them from this side of the Nile. couw proceeds to copy the disks to CDr which gets rid of the baked in errors and that's that. sure these disks are probably more sensitive to bad handling, but I don't handle them bad. sure these disks may not play on a DVD player, but I don't have a DVD player. sure these disks may skip on my diskman, but the CDr copies don't. sure there are many complaints about this CP scheme affecting sound quality, but thus far they have not been solidified other than in highly subjective opinions; and in my highly subjective opinion, the music on these disks is pretty good and I have no complaints about the sound either. and sure I may be termed out of my right mind when I buy these disks, but hey, I'm a lazy bastard with a slim wallet and I want to hear my music. fussing about inaudible sonic differences and NOT getting the music because of that is silly too. and that is what it would amount to for me I am sorry to say. lovely to know that these can be had for twice the money in non-CP form from across the globe, but whereas I may have a problem with a copy protection scheme per se, in practise it isn't all that big as it does not affect me in any way other than that an equally empty wallet means more disks in my racks. I respect the hell out of you all for your crusade to boycot and not buy these, but it's too rich for me to go elsewhere and I want to hear some new stuff anyhow every now and then.
  2. tadaa! great!
  3. WHY??? I was just going to have a deep look at that 'Turning Point' cover of which I had a glimpse earlier today! Hope you're going to reissue it? because they took up too much space and I needed some for those mp3s from the east. Those are cool too! anyhow, I can upload some upon request, no problem
  4. thought I did, but can't find them. That "Maltz for SACD" was pretty hilarious. maybe we can remake some of them.

    July 1975, Montreux. Reed trumpet!
  12. you got that family feeling again? no it's not. Nor is the food. That's Boerentoppenstamp, you know.
  13. I heard this too. It's supposed to be a limited set. I bet the issue with the phone call to Lou should be worth something on ebay real soon. A pity that McMaster should get this assignment, I'd rather Malcolm Addey would have had a go at it. This will probably turn out another brittly affair. Still, I am very excited about this news!
  14. EDDIE-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie! COSssssTA!
  15. five Toblerone bars?
  16. build your own -mask and impress others! make friends at parties! meet girls at the pool! cut out your own -mask and watch the world through new eyes!
  17. You mistook the whole purpose of the Toblerone bar, and yet you were so close... You're supposed to feed it to the cuckoo in the clock! No wonder your's wouldn't koo and your mum in law's didn't run on time.
