    Oh. I almost forgot.

    German (at least, ich glaube -- umm, I mean, I presume that he's German!) photographer/hifi buff Holger Barske just posted a tranche of photos of "ETF '22" (the European Triode Festival) on Flikr.
    I know the tubes 'n' horns crowd is a rather small clan around these parts... but y'all might still enjoy leafing through these.

    ahem... where was I?
    Oh.
    Yes.
    Billboard.

    I just quasi-randomly selected a week and a year from the pop/rock era and looked at the Hot 100 chart for the week of May 27 20, 1967. (does anybody really know what time it is?)

    Pertaining to the 70s charts, it boggles my mind that my brain has almost all those songs " Musical sounds and voices as they were" in memory. Amazing brains we have!

    Well half of the US anyway.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

  • I got 10 emails the other day that I was going to get a CD that I have patiently waited for foe 2 or 3 months. All of the emails stated that I would get the CD by 9 that day.

    I still haven't rec'd it and when I go to log into UPS, it shows that it has been sent and is on the way.

    The brown apes probably lost it.

  • I have posted this on this thread before but here it is again. I think it's pretty cool. Might have it printed out and framed for the stereo room...
