That would be the Black Bear. I saw a parrot nest today on a lamp pole on 16th avenue and bay ridge parkway. How they made it in Bensonhurst through this winter AND had offspring is beyond me.

I'm enjoying the broadcast and Schaap's comments. Not often do you get to listen not onbly to the tunes, but hear some insight too. I don't mind him.

283 Tristano sets left.

I wish Tony bought that beach home. Imagine the parties we would've witnessed...

Jimmy looks really trippy in the 1962 Jazz Scene USA segment, so alcohol might be an old tradition. .

Blake, which laptop in the vicinity of $1000-1200 would you recommend?

I know that place. It used to be called Crazy Eddie's about 10 years ago [Eddie got busted and ran off to Israel, then was extradited back to Brooklyn, I think], then the same place was called I forget what, another appliance joint, now it's probably something else. I bit my Brooklyn bullet a long time ago, when I was shopping for some photo equipment. Now I do all my electronics shopping on-line. Places like www.pricegrabber.com ...

I got a nice Compaq with 15" screen, but the speakers are so tiny and under-powered that listening to music or playing dvds w/out headphones is almost impossible. We're set to buy one for my wife, so I was wondering if anyone has any experience in that matter.

It was the 2nd time Chrissy showed his really ugly side. Is he still on H? That poor waiter is still in my eyes.

The first one to get whacked should be Anthony Jr, that punk pisses me off...

Happy birthday !

This season is going to be the bloodiest of them all. Trust me.

Vinyl is on the light side, sometimes slightly warped and noisy, but after a round on a rcm it sounds fine. They sound much better if you use a record clamp. If had for $5 they are unbeatable in terms of sound vs. the cds.

Any bonus material there?

I'm on my 34th minute. . Hormolodic Industries/Verve I should get this stuff. Now vocal -- It's the only thing that will last of love future present and past is true.. Who's singing, do you know? Gospel-like.

I have no other word, but superb. Light-Foot The Time Is Right Wailing With Lou Sunny Side Up I love all the pre-funky albums.

Well, it was all coincidences.. Up until last November I was running Acurus 150 wpc ss amp with B&W nautilus 804s. Then on a whim I bought a pair of 1972 Klipsch Heresys at a junk barn. When I hooked them up to the amp I was pleasantly surprised by the sound, velvety mids, precise highs, bass was lacking in umph and definition which isn't surprising considering they only go down to about 50-55Hz. But at the same time bass was very warm and natural comparing to B&W's. Then, a couple of weeks ago I dragged in a Bogen rp60, a 60wpc receiver from ca1960 that I bought in a used cd joint. When I hooked up the horns to that thing it simply blew my mind. I'll have to have the Bogen tuned-up and restored, new capacitors, tubes calibrated, etc,etc; luckily it's 9/10 cosmetically. And the sound - oh, man! Once it's all finished, everyone's invited.

[Almost] a case in point - my current amp-speakers combination DESTROYS the set-up I had until just a few months ago, all at at a cost of 5.7% of the previous set-up. If I didn't listen to it every day, I wouldn't believe it was possible..

Where would that be?

The least gratifying of all advice is giving advice on hi-fi gear. There are so many variables...

Appearances can be deceiving. SV's quality is a coin toss, imho, that's why I stay away from their reissues. I don't know about the Nick Drake in particular, but here's the opinion of someone who does -

Original UAJS 15002 Cover - a couple of seam splits, front and back clean, VG+ Vinyl - surface marks, some surface noise, no skips, VG $7 +$2 shipping checks/money orders

Where you at? Yesterday's haul - Art Blakey - Three Blind Mice Ten Years After - Ssssh Donald Byrd-I'm Trying To Get Home Mandrill-We Are One Jethro Tull-Heavy Horses Whitecage, Morganstern, Perry Robinson-Licorice Factory Paul Desmond-Desmond Blue Louis Armstrong-Ambassador Satch Lionel Hampton Malibu Beach 1951 on Coronet All originals, some played well, most vg+,nm-. 20 bucks.
