Not true, most of my friends are impressed by my hifi and record collection. They love listening and sipping chilled white wine, layed on the sofa.

And it's pretty enjoyable too, whatever Amazon could state.

A persian rug in front of the loudspeakers is a classy solution for unpleasant resonance and my cat will loves it.

Wow, cit.

Bud Powell's Verve Sessions.

Django, original italian pressing.

Bill Evans - Further Coversations With Myself - Verve, white label promo, mono.

The Jazztet - Big City Sounds, Argo, mono.

I second that.

Thelonious Monk -TM With John Coltrane - Jazzland, Analogue reissue from the Riverside Tenor Sessions box set.

Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage, BN, NY mono.

Not over here, radio stations are increasing profits from commercials and have a slowly growing audience, just the opposite of television stations. I think people enjoy radio because of content, not only music, so it might be that today's broadcasting will disappear, but the form and content of radios will just move on a different platform. If radios move to internet, rather then pay-satellite, it could be a flourishing of indie low cost stations similar to the early indie broadcasting. Intersting subject anyway.

Me too, unfortunetely the photo is just a part of the cover.

Bob Dylan - Street Legal, Columbia US promo pressing.

Pink Floyd - Oscured By Clouds, Harvest UK early pressing.

I recover my original vinyl of Animals, I don't remember the last time I played it. Lyrics a part, never been a great fan of Water nor Barrett, the album has some brilliant music. IMHO what it lacked at times, as somebody pointed out above, was a suitable song for airplay, a hit like Money or Wish You Were Here or Another Brick In The Wall. I was never been in the party 'The true PF died with Barrett'. Personally I find the 'True PF, Elvis, whatever' party a nihilistic attitude.

KH Stockhausen or ECM? Now spinnin' Pink Floyd - Animals, Columbia, US pressing.

Chilled 'Est! Est! Est! di Montefiascone', 2012, Falesco cave, interesting white wine, with calamari in red sauce and thai rice.

Haydn: Symphonies 65-72, Philarmonia Hungarica, Dorati, DECCA box set.

Ian Rankin's crime novels, not bad at all.

A flood of japanese green tea. I just discovered it, I don't like black tea, but I love the green one without sugar. Drinking it without food because green tea inihibits the assimilation of iron. Very low percentage of caffeine and it's healty too.

Sam Rivers - Fuchsia Swing Song, Music Matters 45 rpm.

Antonin Dvořák - String Quartet no. 3, (from Complete String Quartets, Prague String Quartet, DG box set).

The first blues record I bought, ages ago.

Muddy Waters - Fathers and Sons, Chess.
