Andrew Hill, R.I.P.

Andrew Hill, R.I.P.

I was saddened to learn of Andrew Hill's death this weekend. Ever since I discovered his intensely original music, his recordings have been touchstones for me, including the brilliant <I>Passing Ships</I>, a record that was actually held back by Blue Note for 35 years as "unreleasable."

Newbie Question

Very new to the Record/Vinyl listening game. Recently was given a large cache of Vinyl. Bear with me here. Looking into purchasing a record player/turntable.

What I need is a few things: something I can hook up to a receiver while at work, easily portable preferred and also use at home. What do I need to look for so I can move the table from work to home having different set-ups at both places?

Sheryl Crow and the left at it again

Now Sheryl Crow wants us all to join in and save the planet by rationing toilet paper. This may affect many of you, butt not me as I have an ample supply of her sheet music I've using for years for just that purpose.

Global warming never sounded so scarry for me up until now. Vote with you're....uh...never mind.

Things will look rosie for all those hedging their corn cobbs for a rise in market prices. Midwesterner's rejoice.

Art and Audio

Jim Austin's "As We See It" essay explores some fascinating parallels between the evolution of visual art and the audiophile quest. For me, at least, it also provokes a question regarding the relationship, if any, between the visual and audio preferences of audiophiles. My main system is in a room that also houses lots of art, most of which is impressionist. My system is biased a bit to the warm side. Do the guys who pursue "accuracy" tend also to prefer realism in the art they enjoy?
