  1. Soul Asylum at a private show at the Opera club in Atlanta. Cost $0, and I was basically 4 feet from Dan the whole show, and even chatted with him between songs. That night was ruined when some ATL cops hit me on the head with a flashlight and arrested me on BS charges. Cost $1,100, and 12 hours with Atlanta's most polite criminals (honestly, they were cool to me).
  2. I see a lot of great lists, and I am not going to regurgitate the titles already presented, but rather put up some titles that I believe are notably missing from the lists so far. Mission of Burma -- Obliterati ====== Mission of Burma -- The Sound, The Speed, The Light ====== Mission of Burma -- ONoffON (this one is also in SACD) ====== Killing Joke (S/T 2003) ====== Shellac -- 1,000 Hurts (aka 1KHz) ====== Warren Zevon -- Life'll Kill Ya. (someone mentioned "The Wind", which is also on my list) ====== Vic Chesnutt -- North Star Deserter (although the
  3. Here's a Yamaha integrated in excellent shape for $75. http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?intatran&1258577413&/Yamaha-A-500 And here is a pair of older Tannoy 2-ways that appear to be in great shape as well. http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrmoni&1257533078&/Tannoy-proto-j Total cost $165 plus some shipping, no tax.
  4. According to the tech specs on Stanton's site, the outputs are "phono", which means you probably need a phono preamp to re-equalize the output. It's actually a little bit vague. Try a used hi-fi store for a nice little integrated amp w. a phone stage, and a nice pair of used bookshelf speakers. In Chicago, we have Saturday Audio Exchange. www.audiogon.com is a nice online resource for used hi-fi, and you definitely have a better chance of getting a functional unit over eBay.
  5. Those shots are great... I love the little girl who looks like she is doing the Frankenstein dance on her daddy's shoulders.
  6. Title says it all. Mission of Burma LP/CD The Sound, The Speed, The Light. Who bought it? Who is planning to go buy it?
  7. Music Direct has a decent selection of 180g and better vinyl reissues, including a LOT of great albums which I would love to re-buy.
  8. I have found that I have had a similar weak link in any guitar rigs I have assembled. I look at it like a giant stress relief exercise, whether or not I ever play any better is almost irrelevant.
  9. Anyone looking for Vox in the Midwest, I have heard nothing but great stories about North Coast Music in Milwaukee... They check the tubes and burn in each unit before it leaves, which is reassuring to me. The friend who turned me on to this place bought his AC-15 there. http://www.voxshowroom.com/northcoast/why_..._ncm/index.html Having heard that amp on their recordings and during countless hours of practice and numerous gigs, I agree that the AC-15 is a wonderful amp.
  10. We have heard 2 dead, plus the gunman (who shot himself) This is tragic.
  11. It was NIU, Cole Hall, Room 101, Intro to Ocean Science, Professor Peterson.
  12. The local news in Rockford is reporting cell phone towers are way past max capacity, if you are attempting to reach anyone in Dekalb, use a landline, or try IM or email. What could cause these kids to open fire on their classmates??
  13. Bob Mould said that the band rarely got paid any royalties from sales of the records made in their indie days, even after they started getting bigger and the early records were right next to the major label albums in every record store. Maybe Bob could sue for the tapes and rights, and re-release them on Granary. Either way, I am not holding my breath.
  14. I love how Russell calls her a baby, yet he is the one flipping out in a full blown tantrum. I would imagine he didn't treat Ice Cube, Clooney or Wahlberg in this manner, or he might have had some lumps for it. Although I will say I find his movies to be well crafted, Russell is an ace of clubs douchebag. As for the Berman thing, I can absolutely see why he flipped out. I worked with people who liked to screw around like that and they drove me nuts...
