Got the new Stooges LP (not that great, as it turns out, IMHO). Anyway, there are 3 sides, so side 4 isn't really side 4, it's blank/smooth. Just for fun, I "played" side 4. When I lowered the stylus to it, it tracked smoothly and noiselessly, without moving a bit laterally. The tonearm was motionless when I placed the stylus near the outer edge of the record, or near the label, or in the middle. I presume that's a fair indicator that my anti-skating is set "just right".
Hola,
I'm working on my writing assignment for Mr. Marks' 'Fifth Element' project, but I am flummoxed.
One the one hand, are we supposed to write about songs with well crafted stories, with a beginning, a middle, and an end; have a point of view, an authorial tone (an attitude toward their subject matter,) and, for lack of a better word, a philosphy?
Or, are we supposed to be writing about songs or the rock era that we think could hold up to being sung a capella by the Ensemble Amarcord during a mixed program of classical and popular works?
Or both?

Why are ST's columns excluded from the on line Stereophile archives. There is no direct link to his past columns as exist with AD, JM, KR, etc. Any reason?
