Awesome.

Since I dont comprehend the difference, I'll refrain from both topics.

My mistake. To be safe, I've taken Politics off the list of things I'm allowed to talk about in the "Wild and Crazy Go Nuts!" section.

ah.

Herman sells it out of Springfield.

no, in mirrrland silly.

pfffft. you should come see the metropolitan area here.

I remember when I bought my iphone at the Apple store, I didnt even have to go to the desk for checkout; the guy had some sort of portable card reader with him. (we happened to be standing at the iphone accessory rack at the time) I was very impressed by that.

I'm done

Depends. "Hannity and Colmes" are both extremely biased. I like neither. Some of the actual news reporting is not. I know everyone insists it is, but think about it for a second; if there is a liberal bias in the media, than Fox would have to seem a stark difference, if it is indeed fair and balanced. Its just as you said above; people see what they want to see. Case in point; compare Bill O Riley with his competitor Keith Olberman.

Conservatives tend to much dominant on radio than tv. I find it to be the opposite for democrats. Everyone knows Rush Limbaugh is biased; major news corporations themselves, i.e. MSNBC/CBS/etc dont make such a claim though. I have no problem with a liberal talk show, as long as they label themselves as such. I have a problem with a liberal (or republican) talk show that pretends to be true bi-partisan journalism.

re-ripped a ton of music.

Yeah, OJC has some holes in their artist catalog. Actually, it seems that Blue Note artists are the ones most lacking. So like LFF said earlier, in some cases RVG is your only option, unless there is some rare import version for that particular album. I'm still trying to get all the OJC discs I can manage, but occasionally take breaks to get artists not found in OJC at all. I've really been digging some stuff from Concord. edit: oh and the Fantasy series of vinyl is fantastic, as LFF mentioned.

Some people question these, because the master copies of all the jazz albums were hauled off to a storage facility, and the one guy who knew how they were categorized/stored was let go. So it remains in question if these new Keepnews releases are taken from the correct master tapes, and not some close second or third copy. I'd recommend going for OJC, with a proven track record. I've got a ton of them and only disliked the audio quality of 3 or 4. And those were simply very, very old recordings that were flawed to begin with.

I managed to crash iTunes, so I'm about to re-import and see if it works this time

I'm trying to re-scan the library of mine, as it was only showing a few thousand files, as opposed to 13k. Weird. Im showing 2 invites. I take it accepting them allows you all to view my stash too. Let me know if you cant see anything. It should be there in a few minutes after scanning, I think.

When I'm talking about bite, its not really impact or attack. In this particular case, I mean that the CD has a different tone due to (afaik) distortion and being recorded 'hot'. It is a more etched sound. Grain. Usually the last thing I want in a recording, but thats part of NIN's charm sometimes. Its really difficult to pinpoint or describe accurately (at least for me). Still, if I could have only one version, it would be the vinyl transfer, no doubt about it. I forget the origin of my copy of the vinyl transfer, because it was given to me.
