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.

There is a place for both hemispheres of the audiophile's brain -- there really is.

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?)

Top of the charts:
Bottom of the charts:
The top (pop) LPs?
(just a snippet of the full-page chart)
Maybe you're more interested in... the hot country singles?
R&B?
You name it!
Anyway... you get the idea.
So much fun for a long, cold, dark, winter!!!

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...
