Oh my GOD! I need to get the Pelegrinno.
- Ray Samuels
To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals - that is what keeps a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm and unspoiled when the world praises him.
- Honore De Balzac
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

I always appreciate good music, more so if it's new music that is currently being produced and released.
Thus, it was a great delight to hear an album entitled "A Strange Arrangement" by Mayer Hawthorne.
If you like "oldies" or motown or soul, you owe it to yourself to check out this album. The music is fantastic, catchy and just great overall.

It often saddens me when one of my brothers younger friends cringes at the idea of jazz or anything pre-1990.
It delights me when I am able to play them some of this "old crap" and they suddenly become aware of great music they never would have otherwise heard.
New isn't necessarily better, despite what our society seems to think and continuously push on us. A recent head-fi'er admitted he doesn't listen to anything pre-1970's. An ESPN writer recently trashed...

My all time favorite demo tracks!
Here is a list of demo tracks I use for trying out new equipment. Not only am I going to list them but I will also tell you WHY I use them.
Most of my friends complain that I use too many "unique" or custom mastered songs so I will list tracks you can find and use off the regular CD. Might be expensive to track down each track if you don't own each CD but hopefully, you'll own a few of these. If not, at least you'll be buying...

Art Pepper & Chet Baker - The Route.
There is an old saying that goes "Don't judge a book by it's cover". Often times this is extremely helpful in the literary world. I would love to propose a new saying "Don't judge a recording by it's cover art."
Why? For so many years I have walked past this recording in many a music store and have always ignored it because...

Often many people disagree over what makes music good. A famous comedian once said that good music what *you* listen to and bad music is everything else.
In my ever expanding quest to hear more music I have resorted to many options to expand my aural pleasures and dislikes.
What a surprise it was to come across an old vinyl record that specifically presents bad music.
