A lot of it, not all of, but a lot of the loud 'volume' has to do with getting a good signal to noise ratio. I'd take a good s/n any day, even if it meant my music was a bit louder.

I too wish to thank VC for introducing me to Andrew Bird, I have been listening to him non-stop for the past two months or so. The Fingerlings 3 version of Scythian Empire is one of the best things I've ever heard.

For a second there, I was actually glad I moved.

If you want to venture over to Adore, I really enjoyed "To Sheila" and "For Martha".

Vancouver!!!! Road trip time, I guess.

Is Lounge Axe that Sue owned the same Lounge Axe that was in the film "High Fidelity"?

I find it hard to believe that ANYONE in The Shins are violent.

And playing his pedal steel

Show Me Your Tears

That sounds really good, I wish I could have gone. Here's hoping for a recording.

I recommend to go with Firewire 800. That way you can record just straight onto your external drive.

You may want something larger then 120 gigs.

I wonder what Seth Cohen will think of this.

Except for those non-acoustic percussion instruments.

Beck- Sea Change

Ditto.

Agreed. I want one real bad. Also, MIDI = real sweet.

My dad took pretty good care of his records, except for his copy of Born In The USA, which as a big scratch in the middle (which is fine, I'm not a huge fan of The Boss). There are two stashes, I've found one but the other one is hidden somewhere in the house, that's the one I really want, with his Beatle collection. One day... one day. He was a big Dead Head so I got pretty much all early Dead albums, including my personal favorite, American Beauty. I also found The Bands' Rock of Ages. I got a whole bunch of Clapton records and I think all of Hendrix's records. The only record of his that I found, that was released after I was born, was one of my all time favorite albums, Traveling Wilbury's Volume 1. Other records include, Stephen Stills, Elton John, Willie Nelson, Donovon, Small Faces, and Fleetwood Mac. So yeah, pretty much just rock music from the 70s, which is fine with me.

Also for some reason in high school I bought a few records even though I had no record player, these include Nirvana's In Utero, The Strokes' Room on Fire, and everybody's favorite album, Weezer's Maladroit. Before I left Vancouver a couple weeks ago I got Jason Molina's Let Me Go and Pyramid Electric Co and Songs: Ohia's Didn't It Rain.

Thanks for the help guys, it's greatly appreciated!

Yeah there were a few other songs from SFTBH. "You Won't Get With Me Tonight" was pretty rocking. "Oh No This is Not For Me" was fun. "Come To My Pod" was pretty bad, I recall.

This is kind of embarrassing, I'm a pretty audio savvy dude (just finished two years of school, woot woot) but I just got my first record player this Christmas. I have some questions regarding the records. Will it hurt the record to just drop the needle in the middle of the record (in case I only want to listen to one particular song)? What about handling the actual record... should I avoid getting my fingers on it like the bottom of a CD? Is there any way to clean records? I raided my dad's old collection but some of this stuff probably hasn't been listened to since he was my age (1970!!). Thanks for the help, bros and ladies.

From MEC's website:

All of us are tremendously saddened by the sudden and tragic death of our good friend and collaborator, Evan Farrell. Evan, who played bass and pedal steel with us during our fall tour this year, was caught in a fire caused by a space heater in an apartment in Oakland, CA late last week. He died due to massive smoke inhalation. Evan was an incredible musician and a dear, dear friend. He was a member of Japonize Elephants, Rogue Wave, The Hollows, Mega Mousse, Kentucky Nightmare, and countless other projects and collaborations. He was funny, kind, generous, and supremely talented

Let It Snow

Yeah just send the L-R of the Fostex into input 1 and 2 of the mbox, I see no reason why it would not work.

Hmmm does the Fostex have S/PIDF outputs?

A* = A7/D! Very good tab!

Yeah, they got some catchy tunes.

I don't know!! I saw The Rentals perform it with Rachel Haden on lead vocals and Matt on bass... it was a terrific moment.
