I found this disc in the discount bin of Half Price Books the other day. It has an unusual (to say the least!) collection of songs. There is Devo doing a cover of “Ohio” by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Don Ho (yes, that Don Ho) covers “Shock The Monkey” by Peter Gabriel. Herman’s Hermits [...]
Today I got a package in the mail. This package was about 12″ square but only about 1/2″ thick. What was inside?
Records.
As in vinyl.
I really enjoy music, and one of my favorite genres is southern rock from the likes of Molly Hatchet, Outlaws, and .38 Special. I thought I had collected just about everything that [...]
A while back I posted an initial review of the JFJ Easy Pro disc polishing system. I’ve now had this unit for over a year and have some updates.
About five years ago a woman was accused and tried in court for distributing music files over the Internet. The initial verdict came in at $62,500 per song included in the offense, for a total of $1.5MUS in liability. Needless to say, the amount made headlines at the time. But like most big money trials [...]
A while back I posted about challenges with scratched music compact discs. Today I am going to provide visual evidence of just how well the system I bought (the JFJ Easy Pro Plus) does its job.

Here is a picture of the before image of the compact disc I decided to use for this blog post.

This post should really be titled: Buy Direct and Save ! ! ! A few days ago I picked up some music from an artist named Jordan Critz. As I am shopping used book / cd stores, I will often use my smart phone to look up prices for the same item on [...]
I have been collecting the Time Life “Classic Rock” series of compact discs these last few months. It’s a fun hobby. I started with the 70’s and 80’s and then started extending back into the 60’s. Time Life is not much different from other “series” collectables. Once they find something that sells they [...]
I like to shop at discount book and record (cd) shops. Over the years I have found some interesting things. This past week, for example, I found a compact disc from Miranda Lambert that I didn’t recognize. She has three national releases that I already have, but this one was different. The copyright year was [...]
I happened to be looking through amazon.com this morning and discovered that the track “Soap On A Rope” from the supergroup Chickenfoot is a free mp3 download right now. I don’t know how long it has been running (or will continue to run) but it’s there today.
Chickenfoot – Soap On A Rope
I have an iPod that’s about 3 years old. I love it. I have the 80gb model, and I have filled it up. Yes, it’s possible. When I bought it Apple offered two models with capacity of 80 or 160gb. Later on when I was beginning to wish that I had the larger [...]
