Working my way through the new issue, and some items are too small for their own thread, but did catch my eye, so here goes...top ten list.

Great post, Buddha. Much for me to think about.

5) Eno the dog is cool.

Agreed, But his son, who also lives with the Fremers in the deepest Republican corner of New Jersey, is the stupidest animal on the face of the Earth. I have been visiting Michael now once a month for almost 6 years, to pick up gear, drop off gear, and listen to Mikey's latest LP acquisitions. I am next going on Tuesday to pick the Vienna Acoustic Beethoven Grands that Mikey is reviewing for the May issue. And this dumb dog will _again_ completely fail to remember who I am, bark, and try to defend his owner against the unknown intruder until Mikey locks him up. :-(

The Republican corner of Jersey?

You're allowed in?

Out west, the Republican areas are all gated.

Anywho,

I also love those Malcom McLaren discs. "Fans" on LP needs to be experienced to be believed.

Another amazing March issue item was Robert Deutsch's review of the East Village Opera disc! Really in line with the old McLaren notions. I'm going to go out and buy that and see.

There is a similar disc floating around that I made a mental note of in either yours or another publication, with more music along this line, but now I forget where I put my mental note!

I guess I'm at the age where I need my mental notes to have sticky stuff on the back.

One last thing about the importance of the music in a hi fi mag:

Thanks to Stereophile, I was turned on to the Cash Brothers. "How Was Tomorrow" was my disc of the year that year.

When they came through town, we went, and they came out to the bar after their show at the House of Blues and were very chatty and friendly. (One of their logos is the old 45 adapter with the three arms, too.) I told them we had found them via Stereophile and they said that that was the most common comment they had hard on that tour from new fans!

How's that for aan audiophile mag making the wolrd a better place! Can't even put a monetary value on that.

As we move closer to the mid-term elections, I guess we might as well get used to an increase in the political bleed into everything, including our little audio hobby.

I saw my first bi-partisan bumper sticker today. The bumper sticker simply read, "Run Hillary Run!" I decided to get one and my buddy asked me how in the heck that could be considered bi-partisan? I told him it was for my front bumper! Badabump!

Pinot is both my favorite and least favorite wine. When its right, it's great. But, more often than not, it disappoints.

Regarding music, here in Austin, we are getting geared up for the annual SXSW festival. I haven't been able to get out the last few years to take advantage of all the music, but this year I hope to hit quite a few gigs. So far, my list includes Buddy Guy, Rosanne Cash, Lyle Lovett and until Sheryl Crow's disappointing news, her. On the bright side, it looks very promising for her recovery.

Too much vino.

Gosh, I melded the Sex Pistols thread with this one.

Wow, did I just say that?

"Too much vino?"

Always seemed more theoretical than an actual possibility.

Live and learn....
