Elvis Costello s forthcoming album, National Ransom, mines a
century s worth of pop music history in both the characters, scenarios
and themes in his songs, and in the atmospheric sound that producer T
Bone Burnett has given the record.

So it makes perfect sense that Costello, a voracious fan of music of
all styles, would want to add a vintage touch of some kind in
conjunction with the album s release come Nov. 2.

DUP/GEORGE/Carl Engebretsen, banned user of this forum, recently slipped through the cracks under a different user name ("bobz" from Saigon, occupation: "victim"), offering his usual boring garbage. He got five posts in -- dammit! -- before we realized what was going on, but we've now banned him and deleted the phony account.

We've all become familiar with Stephen M's equipment ( I wish!)

I subscribe to stereophile, have done for years. I don't need this fu*king pop-up every goddamn time I come to the site, every goddamn time I look at a review.

It's annoying as hell, and it's cheap and intrusive. I don't think you're going to convince too many to subscribe by shoving that stupid great ad in their faces.

So please stop it.

"I dabbled into witchcraft. I never joined a coven," she said. " ... I hung around people who were doing these things. I'm not making this stuff up. I know what they told me they do," she said.

"... One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn't know it. I mean, there's little blood there and stuff like that," she said. "We went to a movie and then had a little midnight picnic on a satanic altar."

I wonder if Nancy Pelosi was her sponsor.

Time for some serious back-pedalling, Christine.
