CD Universe has a bigger selection of Classics than Wal-Mart and matches or is cheaper in many cases...

...and some of the best drawn women...

Eisner's "Spirit" had some of the best "splash" pages in comics...

Might be a challenge, but you could slice it down the middle and sell side 1.

Would reverse on the way-back machine go forward in time?

Here they are on one page.

The Feb 15 RVGs are available for $8.39 each from CD Universe.

What would Dr. Freud have to say?

I enjoyed the trio date Tony's Tunes. It was released in 2003 on Chiaroscuro.

Instead of copy protecting CDs, Universal has plans to change the jewel case every year.

Sounds good, but wasn't "Fun With Your New Head" by Thomas M. Disch? Indeed it is a Disch novel (who is a favorite of mine)--but "fun with my new head" is how I feel after reading nearly 30 PKD novels in a row. I would imagine. It's sure going to feel weird when you're done and have to leave your high castle.

Yeah, I read that piece. But wow - 80,000 books per year! Almost 220 a day!

All I can say is that I have my CDs are taking over my house. I sometimes think they get together at night and breed. I can hear them moving from room to room or jumping from the shelf to the floor. (Or maybe it's just the cats playing with my mind.)

Walk more, eat less. Buy fewer CDs, file away more of the strays. Draw more. Get rid of more books than I take in. Go to more concerts.

I sure would've have like to have been in that club!

Beautiful photos! (Are these all by Gottlieb?)

Class puts engineering theory to practical use December 8, 2003 ASSOCIATED PRESS HOLLAND -- When Hope College senior Luke Olinyk finished his engineering design final, he didn't just hand it in to his professor, he also decided to apply for a patent. Olinyk designed a breath-a-phone -- a combination cell phone and alcohol breath analyzer -- for associate professor John Krupczak's semester-long course. Olinyk estimates the final product would cost about $30 more than a regular cell phone. It's about 20 percent bigger. Krupczak said the class challenged students to turn their lessons into real design. "This gives them a real incentive to learn the methods and theories taught in this class and apply them," he said. http://www.freep.com/news/mich/gadget8_20031208.htm - 30 - I'm not sure if this will catch on, at least as a percussion instrument!

Good to hear something nice in the news, for a change.

Those photos all make me want to take a trip to Paris on the way-back machine!

Jazz giant Artie Shaw dies at age 94 Famed for his recording of ‘Begin the Beguine’ Updated: 4:45 p.m. ET Dec. 30, 2004 - Reuters LOS ANGELES - Bandleader and clarinetist Artie Shaw, famed for his recording of “Begin the Beguine” and one of the giants of the swing era of jazz, died Thursday at age 94, his manager Will Curtis said. A self-declared perfectionist, Shaw put down the clarinet in 1954 and never played it again, saying he could not reach the level of artistry he desired. He had been ill for several years, Curtis said.
