Sarging Britney Spears
Neal Strauss, author of <I>The Game</I>, a book chronicling his development as a pick-up artist, has written a great essay about interviewing Ms. Spears using the power seduction techniques he learned.

Hi-Fi Takes Over
In our move from the 9th floor to the 6th, a box containing a large amount of <i>Stereophile</i> back issues was damaged. All sorts of wildly-covered, strangely-colored, digest-sized issues came spilling out. A river of history.
Lowdown
Today I got <I>The Essential John Denver</I> and a newly remastered reissue of Boz Scaggs <I>Silk Degrees</I> in the same package. Mercy! I got a chill pulling them out of the envelope. Denver and Scaggs together again! What kind of subtle coding was Sony/BMG sending by pairing this dynamic duo? The Seventies really did suck? We're out of ideas so here's two surefire golden oldies?

While They're Hot
I was surprised to find that we once featured <i>Stereophile</i> t-shirts on a cover.

If you wear this t-shirt...
Hi ______.<br>
Just as you thought, we'd like to come up with a snazzy catch-phrase to go along with the new <i>Stereophile</i> t-shirt design. Some ideas:
Saving All My Love For You
How anyone was surprised that Britney Spears has shaved her head is beyond me. As <I>Stereophile</I>'s assistant editor, the intrepid Stephen Mejias reminded me, she was brainwashed as a toddler thanks to that malevolent mindfuck known as The Mickey Mouse Club. Add to that she's a piece of unreconstructed white trash from Louisiana, who's now been coddled beyond all description and suddenly head shaving looks like the least of her worries.
