  1. Season 2 of The Bridge starts tonight. I'll be watching.
  2. I avoided this, it looked like something as manipulative as Forrest Gump. No thanks. Forrest Gump was better.
  3. FWIW they all have untucked shirts. Great CD BTW.
  4. FWIW mine is signed & numbered 098 (presumably out of 100).
  5. I bought my 50 CD set from Squidco a while back. Only copy they had.
  6. I have this. Managed to get through 10 CDs so far. Probably all the Dunmall I'll ever need.
  7. Deaver: The Skin Collector
  8. Line Of Duty - season 1
  9. I'll second what Paul said.
  10. Now I can stop watching "futbol" which I don't think I care about anyway. Sorry!!
  11. I have the "Illusionary Seas" double LP 45rpm, and it is clean and smooth and quiet, remarkably so really. Maybe the previous one had some noise, don't know as I don't have it, or maybe she was being facetious. But the larger point about new releases being variable in quality is well-taken. Cien Fuego has been very good, OTO, and I think Trost, also very good, just to mention a few. Bought a Sonore LP and another one on Trost and they were severely scuffed/scratched from the heavy stock inner sleeves. I know a lot of stores don't even do returns on new vinyl anymore because there isn't any point to being liable for manufacturing defects or mishandling in the pressing plant/at the distributor. So I was out $40+. Never bought a Cien Fuego release as I have all that stuff on FMP vinyl. Then again, I've had bad luck with CDs from Clean Feed and Not Two in particular - digital clicks, phantom skipping, all kinds of crap (in multiple CD players) - so the format doesn't really matter. Most of these labels put out too much stuff without paying attention to quality control. Never had an issue with Clean Feed CDs (knock on wood) however the only Not Two CD i have (that i can think of) has a ton of digital clicks on it (Jim Hobbs' The Story of Mankind) I've had more trouble with "clicks",etc. on No Business CDs.
  12. Did your Catalytic Sound order ever arrive?
  13. Wecker: The Golem & The Jinni
  14. Unfortunately not in a version compatible with US DVD players. Hopefully that will change.
  15. Hard to believe that nobody wants the Redd & the Rivers. I have both & they're great.
  16. Didn't know there was an e-petition. How do you get on the list?
  17. Thanks, Kinuta, for the rec here. Just finished episode 5 tonight. Superb. Interesting to see a series where all the strong characters are women. Sarah Lancashire is superb in the main role. Will this eventually make it to DVD??
  18. I have said this (many times) before, & I know it's just me, but I NEVER buy just for sonic upgrades. Neither my hearing nor my listening equipment warrant the effort.
  19. Works for me.
  20. strings and vocals with lyrics. That's part of what I can live without.
  21. I liked him live / in person. The CDs not so much.
  22. I always have liked The Hardbop Grandpop for "late" Horace (Ronnie Cuber, etc.).
  23. Did Ornette play??
  24. Craig Johnson: Spirit Of Steamboat
