My take as well, unfortunately. Maybe he'll call the moderator "Jim." OMGZ!

I was a bit disappointed that he dodged the surge question on multiple occasions. Better to address it now.

Cargoe LP

Hey all, Having finally managed to acquire the Ardent "Thank You Friends" set, I was struck by how completely and utter awesome Cargoe's "Feel Alright" is. For straightforward powerpop, it's pretty damn perfect. I initially thought it was a one-off, but the band seems to have mad...

Thanks, Jeff. I think I hear what you've been referring to. Pity I can't find those original clips where there was a distinct speed difference. I'm still puzzled as to how this ("this" being such a distinct difference between the sound re. countries of origin) could have occurred with a ne...

Can someone explain to why no one is talking about the Keating Five? Might Obama saving that for the debates or does he not want to touch it because of dems involved in the scandal? Exactly. Between this and being surprisingly kind to Bush's legacy, the Obama campaign really seems to be missing som...

What is this "swishiness" you describe? The high end on the Sire disc has a weird sound to it, almost as if the tape heads were out of alignment when they played it back. "Stop Me...," "I Won't Share You," and "Paint a Vulgar Picture" are good examples. Compa...

Offhand, I can't seem to find that old file that had the obviously different speed in "Stop." I hope I wasn't imagining this...

I recently got an invite to What.CD and was able to download the RT versions of all four original (non-comp) Smiths albums. I have to say that they sound very good. I'm listening to Strangeways right now and it really is a considerable improvement over the Sire disc. Does anyone know if the RT vers...

I finally watched part of her speech, and I have to say that I wasn't too impressed by her delivery. For a first-timer, though, not bad.

I cannot believe, however, that the media reports (fuck, check the front page of Yahoo) are all Maverick maverick reformer reformer look at the cute kids!

Frustratingly, I took off AVG 8 and reinstalled 7.5, only to have the thing crow that the resident shield wasn't recognized. Ugh. Could this be an SP3 issue?
