Geza Anda - Chopin: 24 Preludes & Polonaise Op. 53 ("Heroic") (1959)

Caravan - Waterloo Lily (1972) Any record would have been anticlimactic after In The land Of Grey And Pink, but this, Caravan's fourth album, is a fine record on its own terms. Losing David Sinclair to Matching Mole resulted in a change of direction with no loss of quality.

We’re ending 2021 with a maintenance update, thanks to Kai the Master. There are a lot of technical changes, the general thrust of which is to improve both security and integration with outside webpages and media. He completed the upgrade last night while we were all asleep. Happy New Year!

Our latest software update is completed. Most of the changes are technical ones “behind the curtain”. But please know we go to great lengths to make your experience here a pleasant one.

Unsom reminded me that today is our third anniversary. It seems a lot longer than that. Partly that may he due to the turbulent times in which we live. Our Covid-19 and Protest threads represent a departure for us, but a necessary one I think. Mostly I think we thrive because each and every one...

Today Kai will be doing an update at 2 pm. We’ll be dark for less than an hour. Thanks for your understanding!

The other night, Mrs. Ojai and I were watching the first episode in the new season of our favorite TV show from New Zealand. Detective Mike Shepard drives around in a vintage 1971 Holden Kingswood listening to edgy contemporary country music which occasionally figures into a story line. But...

Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session (1988) Marshall McLuhan would have loved this record. 'Twas he who said "The medium is the message", and The Trinity Session may be the best example of an album that could not have been made before the digital era. Artistically, TTS is without peer. The...
