http://www.dustandgrooves.com/book/ http://www.esquire.com/blogs/culture/eilon-paz-dust-and-grooves-book-excerpt DUST & GROOVES Dust & Grooves: Adventures in Record Collecting is an inside look into the world of vinyl record collectors in the most intimate of environments—their record rooms. It all started out several years ago as nothing more than a way for photographer Eilon Paz to make use of his idle hours. Adrift in Brooklyn after emigrating from Israel, Eilon—a record collector on the side—thought it might be fun to start taking photos of people whose record collections were both larger and weirder than his own. Adopting this as his personal project, he began traveling the world, from Australia to Cuba and Argentina to Ghana, in pursuit of intriguing and memorable subjects. Unearthing the very soul of the vinyl community, the assembly of portraits he created quickly turned into the Dust & Grooves website. In the summer of 2012, Eilon launched a Kickstarter campaign that funded his road trip to shoot collectors throughout the American heartland, and since then, the project has been embraced by many friends and supporters who have volunteered to work with Eilon along the way. This year, Dust & Grooves expands even further, complementing the website’s cloud with a physical book that profiles over 130 vinyl collectors with photographic essays and in-depth interviews. Dust & Grooves has engaged and connected the underground community of record collectors. As well as becoming a go-to place for vinyl lovers, it maintains the integrity and history of vinyl, as well as the musical heritage that goes along with every record in these collections. As technology moves forward and many music formats go digital, Eilon’s endeavor helps keep the rich, warm, analog life of vinyl spinning.

Thanks to a recent Groupon, I now have a 2nd Nexus 4, so can avoid single point of failure. In the meantime I've done exactly what you'd expect. And then enabling LTE Interesting to compare different software on exact same hardware to see how a feel about it. tapatalk crashes when trying to add attachment, hence EDIT...

You've reminded me how bright the LED's were by default. Nothing duct tape, a hole punch and a sharpie couldn't fix

and very nice it looks too

Happy Birthday JP!

Bring back Gavrilo Princip I say

He does seem to have some anger issues, maybe he needs a nice cup of tea? (caution more swearing and English vernacular) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWkySWTqM8g

Happy Birthday!

It would be interesting to see how the selections vary by county. If anyone in the US feels that an artist is underrepresented, I (or 'stretch) could compare, and vice versa. Maybe Tyll could get an article out of it. I could even get a U.S. Trial before the UK one expires and do a side-by-side . Thoughts / suggestions.

Joanne was entertaining some book club couples, so I was "forced" to "endure" the following during the course of the meal. Stuffed mushrooms Colorful winter salad Roast tatties Apple crumble It's a tough job ...

You jest, but this is from the Tidal account I signed up for (!) while in the UK, So probably down to geo-referenced ip licensing restriction shenanigans.

Paper airplane search Alison Krauss search, -> Artist -> Albums -> More

Dodgy metadata / inconsistent search graph. Complain

^Selling red vodka. Assorted cocktails and craft beers and Icelandic baked goods

Tidal iOS, search Paper Airplane, multiple hits including albums with Alison Krauss as artist. Navigate the search graph via multiple paths to reach the node of interest (Two paper airplane albums + international touring edition)

Lossless CD is 1411kbps, flac will be some fraction of that depending on the achieved data compression, then add album art, metadata, protocol overhead, etc. You'd be better off measuring it empirically, with a network monitoring tool, and a sample listening session, with interactions, for say an hour to establish a ballpark baseline, Then multiply up using that stuff you do for a living

Some folks have mentioned if you change the trial Url, you can get a 30 day trial rather than 7 when you sign up, maybe next time when you rotate through emails / CC's
