Hi Marc: Thanks for brightening my return to work, after clocking less than FIVE days during the whole of September! I mean, this is “The Audio Fidelity Collection”!! Containing all FOUR studio albums of "Pantheon Purple"!!!! On GOLD!! The World’s (presumably few) remaining Ritchie Blackmore-ites must be spontaneously JIZZING! LOL Thanks again, – Tom Kipp —–Original Message—– …

Hi Marc: As the Creator, Curator, and Avatar of “Eff Clapton”, surely one of the most inspiring ongoing features on Facebook, I thought you’d enjoy this mini-rant, excerpted from the highly entertaining Salon article linked below— 5. Eric Clapton Not Cream, not Blind Faith, not even Derek and the Dominoes. They all get a pass. No, it’s solo Clap …

Surely yer ol’ Stereophile pal Ted would disagree, no?! LOL And c’mon, Marc, just look at that BASE! And that BELT! Plus, their tonearm and spindle are "stiffer than carbon fiber"! (As am I, just reading that…) As you well know, I simply adore the "pervy horniness" of this type of advertising copy, regardless of the product being hawked! And I really …

Chris Cutler speaks out about pirated music on the internet. Not what you might expect from the leftist/commie. A very thoughtful and fair minded read from an amazing human. – Marc Marshall http://www.thewire.co.uk/articles/6715/ ********************************************************* I recently saw the piece to which you refer, Marc. Typically clear and well-argued, in the Cutler fashion. The thing …
Hi Marc: Glad you’re back in the Sonny "saddle"! By the by, I just found The Holy Grail, at least re: The Paisley Underground: "Tell Me When it’s Over"/"Still Holding on to You": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww5DJjiH_zQ&feature=related The Dream Syndicate’s greatest song, medleyed with the best one from their otherwise mediocre 2nd album/major label debut (not released ’til …
Downloaded Keith Jarrett’s “The Survivors Suite” for $1.98. Life is good. The sound is fine. If I had the CD to A-B compare it to and thought the CD sounded better, I would say I don’t give a rat’s ass anymore and would still have lived a full life. I guess I am officially over …
