My plan is to buy a Technics SL1200...
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 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.

Our wings are not tired
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.

Silence means security silence means approval
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.
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.

It is off a soundtrack. And check your e-mail.

Ooh! Muchas gracias.
Minute-by-minute first-listen review:
Clapping. Fun.
You have to love any song that mentions Smurfs.
Interesting background vocals- not what they usually do - I can't really tell if Blake Sennett's voice is in there.
I've never heard lyrics by them that so overtly reference TV - a subject they usually avoid like the plague given their showbiz start as Nickolodean child actors.
Hmm. I do feel compelled to listen to it again immediately.
So Amazon tells me that this was released in 1999. Wow. Their first album didn't come out until 2001. Interesting - I didn't even know they were a band then. I'll have to do some more research and see if I can find out how they ended up on the soundtrack.

Hey, folks. Back from visiting Alabama over the weekend.
Inspired by my wife's iPod, I've been thinking about digitizing my music collection, but that's going to be a long project.
Also, I don't know about a Bonnie Raitt cover of "Lodi," but there's a lovely Emmylou Harris cover on Live At The Ryman.

I know! Does it make you want to bounce?

There was definitely bouncing.
but there's a lovely Emmylou Harris cover on Live At The Ryman.
Just bought it with an iTunes gift cert. I got this weekend - it is lovely.
I am now using the rest of my credit to download a few tracks from the new Kanye West.
On my flight back I listened to the new Death Cab. Not bad, some of it struck me right away as very good. I had a very bluegrassy/CCR-ish weekend though so I wasn't in a Death Cab mood - I'll need to try it again later.
Hmm. I just did a search on iTunes and downloaded a Wrens single off a sampler - the track is titled "Miss Me" but it is actually a really early cheesed out, awful version of "Boys, You Won't" with a different chorus. Bummer.
