Now that <I>Stereophile</I>'s reporting on the 1985 Summer Consumer Electronics Show has ended (I hope!), I would like to express strong dissent with its style and content. In fact, I believe that most of it should never have appeared in print.

You were not here first. You were never first.

You may even be the 8th or 10th version. Who knows.

Small wonder that people don't like this bit that is about to trash your worldview. It sure throws the bible, the Koran, etc in the pooper (whoops!), among other things. If you then look at those books as something else, ie a tale told by primitive man when faced with 'forces we don't understand' ....then it makes more sense.

What I can't wait for is all the stories that people will make up in their minds --- in order to not deal with this.

One of my pet peeves about reviews/reviewers is inconsistency. For example, take Technical Descriptions, the part of a typical Stereophile review that usually comes before the "Subjective Sound Quality" section. Lack of details in Technical Descriptions really hurts the review and may prevent me from taking that reviewer seriously.

Please help me with figuring out who sings this..

i heard the most amazing cover of American Tune on one of the NPR affilliates here tonight as I was driving home from the laundromat... it was sparse, just piano , voice, drums..the singer was a real soulful type sort of like..i dont know.. ray lamontangne and mayer without the cheese..amazing vocal chords on the guy whoever he was..

did a you tube search..darrel scott, sounds sorta like it but not soulful enough, not enough vocal acrobatics..glen phillips cover is whiny....forget indigo girls.

wasnt paul simon either..

who was it??

Ideas for 2010

I don’t think much about resolutions. One way or another, people do what they <i>want</i> to do, and all too often our desire conflicts with our resolve. But yesterday morning, as I was walking around downtown, waiting for everyone else to wake up, I stopped at Van Vorst Park to eat a banana and watch a father build a snowman for his son.
