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.

Khachaturian on SACD

An analog-to-digital converter?

Maybe everyone else was supposed to take it seriously, and Sam Tellig was meant to think it was a joke.

Accardo is good? I have several things by him on my wishlist (3x Piazzolla SACD) that I should probably raise to a higher level if so, or is it only the Vivaldi? Too bad that (Four Seasons) is not available on SACD.

I do. I think Asr and Hopstretch and Nate do, too, based on this page.

You know, I like to reward companies I like by partaking of their wares. So I will, definitely, at some point in the not-too-near future. Anyone who calls Tellig a luddite to his face -- tongue-in-cheek or not -- is okay in my book.

Spare time? Dude, someone made time to make that animated gif -- they were too frustrated living in a world in which that animated gif didn't exist.

They're no good for people who are averse to sticking things in their ears.

x2. You know, you don't need one of every DAC. Just one good one.

Definitely. That Moonshake track, Joker John, is really awesome -- something special -- and I didn't even realize you had put a Hirsche Nicht Auf Sofa track on there -- I love H.N.A.S./Christoph Heemann/Mimir, although didn't realize H.N.A.S. was considered Krautrock. I presume you're familiar with the Legendary Pink Dots (who are heavily Krautrock-influenced)? I'm liking the rest of it, too.
