My next big project is digitizing about 200 LP's that are out of print and most likely will never make it to CD. Lot's of 80's 12" remixes and such. I just need to spend the money on my turntable and a collection of really good stylus or two. My old Pioneer unit has long since died. My plan is to buy a Technics SL1200 this year and hopefully have all the digitizing, cleanup, and track editing done by next summer.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I have about 300GB of music scattered over CD-Rs, DVD-/+Rs, and two computers. Two-thirds of it is in .flac, .shn, .ape, or lossless-wma, so there probably isn't as much music as you might think. Also, at least three-quarters are live bootleg recordings.

Well, look at that. She's a rich kid fashionista.
Heh. Rebelling against her dead father.
I hope she survives until her first rehab.
If Lindsay Lohan has made it this far, Frances Bean can get to 22 or so.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Cold, man, cold.
Awww, really I just hadn't pegged her as the rich kid she obviously is until she went off on Kate Spade bags. There's going to be a lot of drugs available to her and with her parents history with addiction, it bodes ill. I don't want any harm to come to her, but she's going to be swimming in an absolute ocean of cocaine in about two years.

I've got a server with a 160 GB array in it on a GigE connection to most of my machines and 802.11b for the rest. It makes streaming the audio so nice and slick. I've got everything encoded at 160k MP3 or AAC if I got it from the iTunes music store. 160k seems to be a decent balance for listening to/auditioning things for me, and then when I need the real deal I've got my 2000 or so CD's alphabetized in the next room.

You could also go for the Optimus Lab 1100 turntable. The link is to an aussie site but I imagine it's available in the US. [link]

I've looked at other turntables, but I've been using versions of the SL1200 since I was a broadcast DJ 15 years ago, and at that point it was the veteran turntable. It's pretty much the only one I'd dream of owning at this point. I will be doing a lot of stylus research soon though, so if you've got some reviews that would be great.

If she was being raised in Seattle, it'd be heroin, or meth. Probably heroin. We've never really shaken the heroin culture of the U District/Capitol Hill street kids.

She makes me feel uncomfortable, on account of she is very, very attractive. And very, very young. She managed to get what good parts Courtney had to give, taken with a much larger dose of Dad's features. I feel unclean.

I can't stop listening to Rilo Kiley's "The Frug."
This is off a soundtrack right Steph? I have never been able to find it and iTunes doesn't sell it...
This weekend was spent kayaking and camping in nwestern Idaho (loooong flight) and listening to CCR. Question: Has anyone ever heard or thought they heard a version of "Lodi" sung by Bonnie Raitt and (possibly) David Crosby or another male singer? A friend is sure it exists and I would love to find it.
