Suzanne Vega - 99.9F

Re-listen. Such a good album. Bonus video of the sun, across the room, reflecting off the rotating LP onto the wall...

Nicholas Payton - Triune

Three pretty stellar players -- Payton (keys, flugelhorn), Esperanza Spalding (bass, vocals), and Karriem Riggins (drums) -- get together to make modern, groove-centric jazz.

Here's a little #vinyl trick.

If you resleeve your LPs (I use https://vinylstoragesolutions.ca dual-pocket sleeves), and want to remove the shrinkwrap but *preserve* the various hype stickers, UPC codes on stickers, etc, but find they're hard to remove without damaging them, try using some electronic freeze spray on the BACK of the sticker (the shrinkwrap).

When you cool the surface, the glue stops working well, and the sticker can be removed. It re-warms quickly and will re-stick to your sleeve.

So, my house was built well before houses were wired for ethernet, and in two parts, one of which doesn't have any good way to pull wires.

For years I used various wireless solutions to bridge, moving to MoCA 2.5 later on, but there were aspects of both that caused problems with some applications.

I recently replaced that with an Invisilight fiber kit, which worked *great*. Easy, invisible, effective. Good stuff.

Apple friends: the 26.4 public beta seems to have broken something in HFS+ mounting (it keep saying perfecly fine volumes and images, including read-only ones from long ago, have "no mountable file systems”).

I assume you know already, but just in case, see FB21978844.

(Note - seems to be a known issue. Arrgh.)

This is Coltrane's 100th year, with all sorts of stuff to come, including a RSD preview release of the legendary Tiberi tapes...

Velocity Girl - ¡Simpatico!

Hey, they're not just in films and commercials anymore!

Well, of course, their albums came out before music supervisors started snagging choice cuts, and this, their last, was just re-released by Sub Pop, remastered and including some B-Sides.

(They'd done the same for the Albini-produced Copacetic, releasing as UltraCopacetic, remixed more to their liking a few years ago.)

Anyway, bright, noisy, harmonies, good stuff.

I do remember the drawer on the CDP-101 took about 30 seconds to come out.
