I never watch awards shows. Sick in bed and bored so I turned on the Grammys. Such a joy to see Tracy Chapman up there! What an icon. Feb 4, 2024

        I have the first two albums when he was just E. And then the first Eels album. Nothing after that. Guess I could give this a try.

        I was scratching and telling him he was a good boy and he was wagging and jumping and licking. Made my day. He was so excited. I wonder if I’m the first foreigner he’d seen.

        20% storewide is about as good as it gets. IME. Some coupons are stackable with some sales. No matter what they still seem high. Pono rarely had coupons/sales and still tended to be cheaper. I usually concentrate on exclusive masterings for hi-res downloads.

        Ended up getting Kind of Blue 2013 master, King Crimson Live in Chicago, Kronos Quartet & Laurie Anderson Landfall (really good) and Amber Rubarth Scribbled Folk Symphones (a Chesky binaural). GC + 20% off equaled $39 off total price.

        He plays a sick sax. Amazing that we went from NY subways to BBC. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up on Colbert.

        I noticed all the musicians are wearing headphones or CIEMs. Weird to think that even orchestras are wearing them now.

        I've got like 5 different half price bookstores to choose from in my region. Unfortunately it seems like they've started paying attention to prices on discogs as the vinyl prices have gone up significantly in the last few years. But having said that I did manage to score a pretty sought after Perlon record that typically goes for 50-60 USD online for a mere 50 cents lol.

        The new AMD APUs are actually extremely promising if the reviews and benchmark scores are accurate. Sub $250 for a processor capable of running most modern titles at 1080p with 30-60fps, which makes for a good stop-gap until the mining hype dies down.

        I was thinking about rebuilding my PC this year. Afraid to say, it's not going to happen until Meltdown and Specter get fixed in the hardware layer. Maybe video cards will be reasonable by then.
