I'm not an expert about solar energy, but this plan seems a bit odd. So he wants to build solar panels for installation in homes that connect directly to the grid? That makes me think a couple things, but I'm open to someone correcting me: 1) T…

Here is how you make solar cost effective. Currently most utilities will let you send excess solar energy back into the grid. Most utilities will allow you to roll your meter backwards. (I'm not sure, but I think your meter goes backward at a slo…

A few years ago some friends and I were rafting in Rishikesh, India and everybody jumped overboard and floated at a calm part of the river. We ended up floating past a dead sadhu who was underwater over by the riverbank. One girl we were with seri…

Manley Laboratories Custom Tube Phono Pre $650 I tried to PM you about this but your inbox is full. Please get in touch.

They're not snake oil. Record clamps can make an improvement in the sound if you have a decent enough stereo setup to reveal what they can do. They work well for dishwarps and I use mine to flatten out some edge warps on 45's that would skip other…

Turns out it's the Hitachi label. The other two releases are posted here. Mine didn't arrive with pic sleeves though. http://www.funkfidelity.de/ethio/hitachi.htm

Guy offered me a collection of 100 really good 45's, then chose to sell them to someone else without letting me make a counter-offer. Stupid move on his part and sucks for me as it was some really good stuff.

This is stuff from the past week. Some good reggae and jazz (& Wire) Some new age and a live Ram Dass recording from 1969. Received my first (and likely/hopefully not last) shipment of Ethiopian records. 15 45's - several Tilahun Gesses…

I have also been looking into to doing something like this and have been struggling with the ethics of it as well. Good to know people are in support. I'm assuming there's no difference in doing a CD comp or pressing it on LP? Harder to bootleg…

I'm pretty sure I saw a copy show up after the reissue came out. Finished around $400 I think, but it might have been a BIN. Amazing record.

Isn't there an awesome steel band version of Hot Pants Rd on a Jamaican private pressing? Think the LP's called "Down To Earth" - though can't for the life of me remember the artist - anyone know? It's the Sylvania Steel Orchestra or something l…

Funky b-boy breaks yo. I have a copy of this up in the sale in the classifieds right now. Sorry for the shameless self-promotion.

Lucknow, India and the entire State of Bihar make Buffalo look pretty damn wonderful.

anyone feel free to plaese to send me a "Mouth a Massey" single....love that tune, tough as nails I just found a copy of Stranger Cole - Foward in the Land of Sunshine last week, which has a great version of this song on it. Pretty fantastic recor…

Just listening to this this morning:

Good to see you mentioning Koushik. I think his full length will be out later this year. It's really good. Caribou is another to check out.
-
The first Sambalanco Trio, Sansa Trio and anything with Airto on drums. He was/is an insanely good drummer. The Bossa Tres LP on Audio Fidelity is quite good and pretty cheap. Conjunto Som 4 is really good, but not as "hard". The Quarteto Novo alb…

Here's a pretty rare one by a band called the Bermuda Symphony Trio. Pretty cool cover of Ode to Billy Joe. There's also a pretty killer cover of Ain't No Sunshine, but I don't have the rip of it with me here at work.

I would say relative to what Toronto's needs are and what we do with what we got, we are a mess. The Harbour is a wall of condos and the main body that approves development has almost no reigns on its activities. We are an ugly city hellbent on de…

I was watching BT this morning and you could see firefighters spraying water into the Cosmos storefront, in the background. Really sad. Must be so incredibly tough for Aki and the others that work there. Plus Suspect Video is completely burnt out. …
-
That's a relief. Thanks for letting me know. Still a very bad day for a lot of others.
-
Shit, I just saw on another board that Cosmos was indeed part of the fire.

To the best of my (limited) knowledge, you want as much vibration absorbed by the arm as possible and to keep the stylus as isolated as possible. Those Pro-ject turntables are very nice, although I don't like the looks very much. I have just pur…

If you can find one used, go for a Dynavector P75 MkII. New is $750, but check audiogon.com and you can sometimes find them for around your price range. It has a really nice sound.

Just moved here for the job. What are the spots I should know? All the heat is right here, plus you get entertainment worth the price of admission alone. I found a Grupo Los Yoyi in that store for $5. This was back when it was on the second flo…
