    Exactly! It's gaslighting at a distance, without even the courage to speak clearly. There's no reason and no excuse to mention her mental state, especially not when followed up with the sneakily accusatory, "But if her reputation is truly on the line..." bit.

    No, but it is very clearly what you implied. What else were you bringing up her mental condition for? The clear and insidious accusation is that because she suffers from a mental illness, she is untrustworthy.

    If anyone finds a EU/UK distributor for that indie exclusive, post it here ASAP, that variant is perfect.

    This topic is giving me such a woody.
     
    I collected fiercely in the 1990s, in retrospect the best time possible since everybody was dumping LPs. I'd spend $100 or $200 at Jerry's in Pittsburgh or the various stores in Chicago, DC, the East Village, Vancouver, London, San Francisco ... and I'd come away with more LPs than I could carry. Sometimes I had to find a UPS drop-off before I got back on a plane. (There were no UPS Stores back then.)
     
    The first of two kids arrived in 1999 and they took most of my time, so I've barely bought any vinyl in the last 15 years. But for her 17th birthday last year the older one got an RP-1 she can take to college ("university" for those outside the US), along with 50 or 60 duplicates from my stash. Seriously, nobody should leave home without Blood on the Tracks and Astral Weeks (green label, natch) at the very least. I've bought a few things here and there when I find nice stuff for less than $25 or even less than $20 per disk. (Seriously? $25 for a single LP? WTH?!)
     
    I'm lucky enough to work from home, and we have a semi-finished attic, so the first shot is the view from my desk, and once or twice a day I climb into the chair to listen to one side as a break.
     
    Rock and pop is on the left; jazz, blues, and a small batch of classical live on the right. We old guys have a lot of the gems, like the original Art Pepper on the rack to the left above the 'table. Warms my heart that so many youngsters are keeping vinyl alive.

    By the way, the plural of vinyl is "vinyl." You no more pick up "vinyl" (with an s) than you pick up "fishes" at the market for dinner. Stop me gnashing my teeth. Please.
     
    Be good, kids. Enjoy what you've got. These are good times for music, if for little else.
     
    If anybody cares: VPI Aries I with Lyra Helikon cartridge, Rowland Capri preamp, Rowland 102 amp (for summer), Mac Mini file server with Schiit Modi Multibit DAC and two hard drives (one a mirror of the other, backed up every day at 4AM), Quicksilver Audio Silver Sixty mono amps with stock EL-34s (for the cool months), Scansonic 2.5 speakers, Sunfire sub, DIY DH Labs cabling throughout. CDs in the background are all ripped to the server now, along with about 2000 live shows by various groups, especially the Grateful Dead. Anybody want the little silver disks?

    It has to be spread out on 2 LPs. 
    EDIT - maybe 3 sides with an etching on side 4?
     
    I'll have to wait for it to show up on amazon.ca before i can order it. the Canadian dollar is crap.

    I think Bob's Burgers is great and I've watched the entire series multiple times.  I think the dumb little songs are hilarious and a unique part of the show.
     
    I would probably rip my hair out if I had to listen to them all in a row, one after the other.

    I was never a huge fan of his older material and I went into this with low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. Wouldn't pay $60 for it but I'd pay $20-$25, maybe. I still agree that the singles are the best tracks, though.

    I definitely disagree with this, it seems very cohesive to me.  Definitely an exploration of the roots of soul/funk and how they influenced blues and R&B.

    Damn, went from thinking I was going to instacop this to having zero interest at that price real quick. Hopefully there is just a regular release as well because that is straight robbery pricing right there. These gimmicks added to records to shoot up the price are getting worse and worse it seems...
