Beatles Albums

Record collection goal: We want to own the original vinyl of every single Beatles album!

New Radiohead! Out early!

Plans for Friday night have changed with this wonderful development!

I can’t wait to sit down and settle in to listen to the 8th album by Radiohead called ‘The King of Limbs’. The album doesn’t get released until May, but the digital download was available this morning! Too bad, because the vinyl version would have been sweet to hear first but I guess the revamped speakers will be ready by then!
Sit back and watch Thom Yorke do his thing in this video for “Lotus Flower”. This is how everyone should be dancing to this song…free and loose. Beautiful Lyrics, as usual.
Full Review to follow!

Three strikes you’re out…

It’s always a great sales tactic to make your customer feel dumb and technically insufficient. Go the snobby expert route and state your total superiority when it comes to all audio matters. Well, Mr. Sound Hound, I have been thoroughly underwhelmed by your last two half-ditch efforts at tuning up our turntable and amp, so why would this subwoofer revamp be any different?

So I just ordered the parts online, for a fraction of the costs you quote me, and I’ll fix it myself… and I’ll get it right… the first time around. I’m not some total nitwit who can’t glue a speaker cone back together…

And O Yeah, one more thing. When I do buy the audio setup of my dreams… think Harman Kardon components and Bose 901 speakers… it won’t be anywhere near your store. HA!

Elton John on Valentine!

After a blissful Valentines weekend together on Salt Spring, we drove back to Victoria together on Valentines Monday. It’s exactly three months ago today that we went on our first date: martini’s at The Mint and the Metric concert at SOFA.

Pamela won tickets to see Elton John on 98.5 The Ocean. On Valentines Day. Like really.

So we re-enacted our first date. I met Pamela at the bar at the Mint, and felt just like the first time I laid eyes on her. We were both nervous and excited. Three martini’s and some finger food later, we made our way to SOFA.

Elton was awesome… he seemed genuinely happy and excited to perform. We missed the first hour (duh) but still got all the good stuff: I Guess that’s Why They Call it the Blues, Rocket Man, Bennie and the Jets, Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word, Candle in the Wind… then the perfect encore with Your Song and Don’t let the Sun Go Down on Me. We sang every song we knew together, and I just knew what the encore would be… Your Song. Perfect finale to a perfect Valentines date :-)

I drove home… in the Audi… same route… same destination…
