Montreal Audio Show Starts Friday

Mar 21, 2010

The 23rd <A HREF="http://www.salonsonimage.com">Salon Son & Image</A> high-fidelity show, cosponsored by <I>Stereophile</I>, takes place in Montreal's Hilton Bonaventure March 26&#150;28. (An additional day, March 25, is reserved for the trade and press.) With 10,000 to 12,000 attendees expected, including a sizable American contingent and several thousand Canadians from outside Quebec province, who will take advantage of bilingual presentations and literature and the anticipated absence of snow, SSI remains the largest North America audio show that is open to the public.

Greece is having a tough spring.

Factoid:

33% of Greeks earning wages derive their income from the government.

(Imagine if we looked at that and included percentage of Greeks 'dependent' on government jobs....spouse of workers, etc.)

Retirement age is 55 to 58 in the government sector with full government pension.

The state pension also covers regular retirees from the private sector.

Female radio operators and hairdressers can retire at 50 because their work is classified as 'hazardous.' There is a list of 600 different hazardous jobs that lower the retirement age to 50.

You might’ve noticed my big smiling mug on the stereophile.com home page today, calling attention to my review of <a href="http://www.stereophile.com/headphones/monster_cable_beats_by_dr_dre_stu…’s Beats by Dr. Dre headphones</a>. When I posed for that picture&#151a few months ago and with a hellish hangover from a night of fun spent at <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/at_the_monkeyhaus/">John DeVore’s Monkeyhaus</a>&#151I had no idea that I’d be today’s top model. The photo was the work of our sneaky web monkey, Jon Iverson. I came into the office, went to our site, and spit coffee all over my monitor. Hilarious.

Apologies, but why is Kate Bush's daughter getting all this publicity?

Joanna Newsom is Kate's offspring, right?

Man, "like mother, like daughter," for sure.

I'm thinking it's time for a "Kate Bush Meets Billie Holiday!" LP....

...starring Joanna Newsom and Madeleine Peyroux, respectively.

I'm all in favor of "influences" and stuff, but these new chanteuses are getting downright Henny Youngman-y about the theft.

I hope Kate is at least getting royalties from Joanna's new album.
