STEVE HOFFMAN + CONTINUUM = VINYL HEAVEN!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ATLANTA, GA April 27 2005 Warner Brothers records with Rhino/Reprise recently announced that they have hired Steve Hoffman, one of the world's most revered mastering engineers, to undertake the most ambitious vinyl reissue program of any major label in recent history. Steve will be mastering with cutter Kevin Gray at Kevin's AcousTech Mastering and records will be pressed on 180 gram virgin vinyl at RTI - all are being cut in true analog from original Warner Brothers/Reprise stereo master mixes - some of which have been untouched for 35 years.

So what demo discs are you bringing to the show?

Unless you want to hear a steady diet of Ella, Norah, and Sarah you've got to bring your own tunes to the HE show. But what to bring, that's the question. Do you cleverly go for a "room clearing" selection like Nine Inch Nails so you can grab the sweet spot to dig some Brubeck in the now empty room? Do you bring something self-consciously hip like Sufjan Stevens to show off to your audio peers? How about some trash that will probably get you thrown out of the room yourself like Southern Culture on the Skids?

"A linkworthy piece of musical-cultural criticism," writes John Marks. I agree. Now if John Derbyshire had merely said <I>Saturday Night Fever</I> was the greatest movie ever, I'd have agreed to disagree. His passionate and specific arguments, however, have convinced me to see it again with an open mind.

Joshua Ferris ponders the absence of work in literature. We spend most of our lives doing it, but it's MIA on the pages&mdash;unless you're a soldier, whaler, or private eye.
