I'm listening to this for the first time and some of the tracks sound like Beatles' outtakes. It's uncanny. Usually, if I want to hear the Beatles, I'll listen to the Beatles.

I can't take it. I don't mind it. Believe me. No matter what.

Sounds like my usual word salad.

P.S. Can you believe that this album cover image is blocked? Do I need to change my settings?

I'm being straight with you. Try Straight Up.

Couldn't decide which Bowie album (or even era) I wanted to hear, but knew I needed to spin some Bowie.
So Bowie playlist it is!

The track is good.
The drummer's posture is terrible.

I know that RickB and Axo have good stereo set ups with good headphones. I would like them to find (where ever they choose) John Cale's album "Honi Soit" and give a few good listens in the next week or so.
I saw him perform this in a room that held maybe 300 people and it was amazing. He signed my CD and chatted for a bit. Nice guy, but I was caucious not to be the "weird fan".
Such a fantastic album at the time. I still love it, and am wondering it it sounds good today to fresh ears.

I know RickB has very good headphones, yet the rest of his system is polished Schiit...

...which is very good to excellent, too.

The only reason my ears are fresh is because I stick these expensive thingies into them.

P. S. I would to listen to that and will seek it out post-haste.
