A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

How fortunate to have been the student of such a scholar, karlward. Haven’t read the book yet, but the Reader is so excellent. Full of newspaper clippings, interviews, transcripts. About 450 pages in on this morning and just ahead are these essays I’m really looking forward to. Lots of things I hadn’t known, having even read The Dead Are Arising by Les Payne.

Hey Trouble re: Covid at home.
Caught it about a month or so ago. Disappointing as hell but not shocking. Although we in the home had been pretty diligently following protocols of masking, social distancing and not attending indoor events I guess I’d occasionally gotten a bit lax.
Anyway, I quarantined in the apartment, eating meals by myself and only coming out masked to go to the bathroom or make myself something to eat.
The three others at home didn’t get it (we all tested).
Good luck to you guys, and a speedy recovery to your husband!

Years ago, Apple erased ALL my 'non-apple purchased' files when i transferred over to Apple i-tunes .

I am still pissed. (I miss the Nano tho... anything that just plays music and doesn't "know" you are playing it. ) ..anyway there has to be a better place to store & play music files than apple, still haven't found it..haven't looked..I don't trust anything. All the files i managed not to loose are buried on a hard drive. Access means playing original copies only, ( LP/ tape) so.. Not a fan of Spotify BTW ..

Much improvement with Paxlovid and naproxen.

I'd imagine that at least some young people were buying vinyl then burning audio files; I see ads for turntables with USB outputs that might do all the digitising and compression themselves, or else they're digitising to some incredibly high data-rate output stream and compressing on (say) a desktop…but doing it on the turntable would be more convenient for people who do everything on phones and tablets.

The main point about listening to music when we grew up, I think, is that, in the days when through record-buying was the main way one listened to music, outside of radio, one had to literally make an *appointment* to do so.

@Zinn The Mood: The recent (and excellent) reboot of Creem magazine brought a lot of that back to me. I remember getting a new record, taking it home and reading over the liner notes/lyrics as the record played. Quite a different experience from double-clicking on a file.

@love2laf: I agree with all that. I guess that's why I come back for more punishment just in hopes that I get that one little taste of honey. But it's the agony of defeat that knocks me down most of the time is hard to get up from.

Zinn The Mood:
Yes, essentially needing to make an appointment to play music. Add the care needed to play a vinyl disc, and the danger of ruining it, and it means inherently greater involvement.

It also means a greater cost to do it, roughly, and we tend to value things more, the more we've paid for them.

Just got out of class and onto the stream. Basking in the glow of Trouble's return!! And rewarded accordingly with Brazilian and reggae tunes. Life is good.

Already had the rain and thunder here early this morning, now it's all your turn. But it won't last long, just 5 or 10 minutes.

Presently taking refuge under the awning of a bagel shop from this sudden downpour, after running up to the stores to get some groceries.
In the fridge I’ve got a nice vegan chili made with Trader Joe’s soy chorizo that needs a good salad accompaniment. Found myself eating way too much meat lately and need to reverse that. Hard to resist many times when my partner brings it in to the home.

Been meaning to check out that Creem site, thanks Woods! Wish I still had some of my magazines.

Before we’re out, anybody have a good recommendation for a stylus replacement?

And, Handy, if you’re still there I’ll be making my way through Gnpt on bicycle tomorrow morning to make a pickup from Acme. Lemme know if you’ll be in the hood and up for a stop-by.

It’s been so great, Trouble. Feel moored again within the week with Thursday mornings again looked forward to, and molto contento in the cozy confines of this here chat board of comrades and such.

Got to love Black Jazz Records. Also, I can't remember who, but someone on these boards informed us that Ms. Patterson was Miss Indiana in the early 1970s.
