And the aid seeker is the crutch's millstone.

Is it as good as Firebirds with Bobby?

Operating systems and things like Twitter change things about their workings all the time. In my experience people who ask for manuals panic whenever change comes. They'll always go looking for a crutch.

There's this thing called search engines. And you have the advantage of being a native English speaker. That should do.

"Why did you put that white bitch on there?"

Something less dramatic happened to my Thriller LP in the 80s. Not rare, but I couldn't just afford a new one. Cured early on from vinyl as a result.

For me it's probably Siroco. I just never warmed to the albums from the 80s on where he performed with his band.

What's your favourite Paco de Lucia album?

No and I don't have a mobile phone, so no use asking me the time.

I thought the liner notes and recording quality were pretty decent though. I also appreciated the inclusion of quartets by Soviet contemporaries of his. And the price for the complete set is a steal.

"Where to sit for the best sound at an orchestra concert"? Probably that place recommended in gvopedz's article, only during a rehearsal when there is no lung cancer ward level coughing audible. At this point in time you couldn't pay me to visit a classical concert hall again.

I'm keeping the threadbare ones without holes. Sorry.

A favourite. Now:

I'm about to throw away all my threadbare undershirts and boxer shorts with holes in them. Are you perhaps interested in getting a heads up?

Blue Note 75th anniversary SHM-CD.

You just don't understand the situation here. There is simply nobody to sell to. No interested parties. There used to be a chain of second hand book stores in the Netherlands and Belgium called De Slegte which went bankrupt a few years ago. Now there are only a couple of stores left in certain cities under that name, but their formula might have changed. Anyway, when there was still one in Haarlem I once tried to bring them a stash of as new English hardcovers, good recent titles, nothing obscure. I wasn't expecting to get much. The person working at the counter where people could offer their books for sale was incredibly rude and dismissive and only after much drama agreed to take my books from me for a pittance. I really should have told him to go fuck himself and just left, but I was taken aback by the whole thing. We Dutch have a reputation as misers which is completely deserved. Never buy second hand from a Dutchman, for example on Discogs. It's highly likely the object is (highly) overgraded. I have stopped buying from Dutch sellers altogether, a dishonest lot. I'd rather import for a few Euros shipping extra. There are exceptions of course, like myself, but we are few and far between. You're probably going to react negatively to that last paragraph as well, but so be it.
