The Rides "Can't Get Enough" Album
Getting ready to see them at ACL's Moody Theatre here in Austin on Sept. 12th. I've pre-ordered the record but haven't yet received it. Glad to hear the positive review.

Hugh Masekela – Hope / Should I get the CD or SACD

When an amp puts out 90 watts....
That its power supply is capable of sourcing the increased current necessary to provide constant power across decreasing impedances. 
dCS Purcell/Delius vs. dCS DeBussy...
