My personal opinion is that the single-layer SACD beats up the gold disc and steals its lunch money. Really no comparison at all. We'll see what the hybrid is like...

Well, the media is more interested in suspending DJs who play the Dixie Chicks in violation of corporate edict then in pointing out that Bush, in his apparent desire to act out the climax of "Independence Day," is really thumbing his nose at everyone who was drafted to fight in Vietnam. Imagine the ...

Which label do you have? Red/black. Side 2 is in great shape, side 1 is slightly more noisy but still quite good. It really only matters on the quiet songs like Love Me Two Times. Yeah, I've got that one, too. I got it from a friend of mine who dumped all his vinyl on me a while ago. It was still i...

Sounds like Iggy in the liners to the "Raw Power" remix, where he gleefully recalls how horrified the mastering engineer (Mark Wilder, I think) was by the levels he wanted. He said he kept yelling, "Why isn't that in the red? They all should be in the red, all the time! Aaaaaaarrggh!" He says he fin...

Heh, heh. I'm not sure yet who I'll hold my nose and pull the lever for, but it's a safe bet that Fletcher won't be on the short list.

Between this guy and Bill "I fraudulently adopted stray cats from shelters and killed them for medical experiments" Frist, the GOP leadership has got a lot of nerve talking about legislating morality.

I found it interesting that at one point North Korea stated that the lesson they learned from the Iraq invasion was that they needed nukes to deter a US invasion. Well, duh.

Oh yeah. It's going to be a nightmare.

Maybe I'm just a nut, but I smell a secret deal being cut at some point.

"It's going to take time to find them," Bush said of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.


Isn't that what Hans Blix said, for which he was harshly criticized by the Bush Administration?
