Yeezh.

Relinquished -- I'm really in the mood for some Hiromi, so I'm putting Another Mind on: I never get tired of this story -- to those of you who aren't musicians, this is pretty much The Dream:

Schubert/Mahler SACD on MD und G -- hey, did you know that the German word for someone who plays the bassoon is "Fagottist"?

Ooh! Good catch.

Thanks for the honest impressions TheSloth. And really nice succinct definition of "neutral", BTW.

Headphile pads? Those look like Beyers. Although, then they shouldn't fit on a Grado. Please do post your reactions -- I am very curious.

Quit offering blow jobs to fellas?

Russian Ballet Suites on Pentatone SACD

It would probably help if I had all mine in one place. I guess I should have put the word, "stack", in air quotes.

My stack is 3x as big -- I should probably check it for duplicates. Which ones are you missing?

Prokofiev: Lieutenant Kije Suite and Symphony No. 5, Paavo Jarvi & Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, SACD

Are you kidding? >50% of my listening is to pop/rock. If that's any consolation, since no-one takes me seriously. Now I've got Split Enz stuck in my head.

Julia Fischer, Russian Violin Concertos, on SACD Hey, Jacob -- I found that Gil Shaham CD -- you still need it? FLAC?

No, actually, I wasn't. I was talking to the Sandwich.

x3 -- assume it's going to last 10 times as long as you expected it to. This is a really bad time to be looking for a job. That said, two (formerly unemployed) people I know just got jobs, so it's not impossible.

Dude, I told you before, don't give money to counterfeiters. If you're not going to buy the releases properly, download it for free, like everyone else.

Chris, your English is wrong -- I believe you mean, "I don't get any".

That's because you were too busy letting your motorcycle ride you.

You guys should quit with the hyperbole before this becomes the next "this shirt got me laid" fad.

Yes. Do I remember any of them? No, and probably won't until 2:01 that day.

Stripmall Architecture, We Were Flying Kites -- Halou side(?) project

Slick! EDIT: For future reference: direct Goldbox link.

Up to 50% off, so most of them are $8.11, it looks like. Still a pretty good deal, and I buy from UK shippers all the time (for some reason, they're still competitive), so the thing to do would be to put together a basket and see what it comes out to. I bet this is pretty good, though I haven't heard it myself. I'm also very fond of von Karajan, and have several of those recordings. IIRC, the Bruch/Mendelssohn w/Anne-Sophie Mutter is pretty good. They also have a clearance section, if you want to "spread out" your discount.

No, I wasn't aware of that, that's hilarious.

I put my account on hold, will probably cancel. The multi-download for one track thing is especially irksome in the cases where it really is only one track. I wouldn't mind it so much if they "charged" multiple downloads for a 30-minute track, but for a normal length track is just wrong.
