Split Enz -- Spellbound

Rotated the new APC power conditioner and some sweet SIALO speaker cables into the HT system. It's now 14.3 percent more better. Give or take.

'Til Tuesday -- Everything's Different Now

Me too. My wife had just gone to business school and gained access to our first ever broadband connection. Someone told me about this new thing called Napster and claimed it had "all sorts of weird stuff," so I searched for the first obscure song that popped into my head: Dream Academy -- Life In A Northern Town. Aheyanownownowwww-heyyyeheyyyeyaaa.

Sorry for treating you like a dilettante, then! Ngiyakuhalalisela! Queen -- A Night At The Opera

^^^ I don't know if you're a fan, or just sampling, but they have a lot of great stuff that didn't make the Best Of. "Universal Men" and "African Litany" are both worth seeking out. I have fond (though hazy) memories of a very impaired night out on the town with Johnny Clegg in the late 80s, so my soft spot for his music even extends to owning much of the fairly diabolical later output. Listening to: The Stone Roses -- The Stone Roses

If any member of the HC constructors' club wants to build one of these puppies for fun, or educational purposes, or whatever it is that does motivate you solder sniffers -- but doesn't particularly want to front the cost or keep it for the long haul -- shoot me a PM and we can probably work something out.

Tesla -- Five Man Acoustical Jam

Obligatory.

Jennifer Hudson gave the old anthem some welly! I'm for the Steelers, if only to avoid the sermon from Warner if the Cardinals do pull it out.

Tonight. I'm, not too proud to admit, I consumed a prepackaged delicacy that came with the following advice: "Warning! Product becomes hot when cooked."

Thomas Dolby -- The Golden Age Of Wireless

The Human League -- Dare (2002 remaster)

Yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhh! Happy happy.

It's The Singularity!

Well, I suspect there is some. And I thought we were generally in favor of spending money on design and engineering rather than audiofool marketing BS? Do the 5400 and 9000 have digital ins? Bet I can guess the answer.

Silver APC-H15. Could not resist.

Simple Minds -- Sparkle In The Rain

Nice Pete! Again, I wish I wish I'd bought that 3-channel Stratos.

Ahoy, someone.

Because of the watermelon. Duh.

Jackson Browne -- Running On Empty

My bad. Lazy. Grawk, please change it to a picture of a basket of dicks before they do. Ta very much.
