Politics isn't just about Democrats, Republicans, and Affirmative Action. It goes way, way beyond that. It's personal too. An example would be ones thoughts on being protective of an industry/business/individual irrespective of any elements of right or wrong. A perfect example of this would be...

I cannot express with any degree of accuracy, just how much I've been savoring all this vindication over the last two to three years on a multiplicity of issues, some of which goes back to the very beginning of the TH days. All of which I was initially mocked, dismissed, flamed, and told I was...

Happy Thanksgiving all.

Thanks. Not that I am biased just because I'm her dad, but my daughter is truly a gorgeous baby. I do mean. Beautiful. Like Gerber baby pretty. I mean everywhere we go, people stop and gawk at her like a tourist attraction. Most babies barely get a second look. Not mine. It's all momma and I can...

My baby girl loves watching the reels spin. Her mother always says she's her fathers daughter. So I'm planting "The Classics" in her head. Forget the fly by night, here today, gone tomorrow garbage that constitutes the Top 40. Artists like The Stones, The Beatles, and Fleetwood Mac were...

One pressing of the play button away from starting her off right. Or myself being annihilated. Whichever. Momma is resting right now and she's keeping me company. Decisions, decisions...

The short summarized version is that I made repeated attempts to buy some tape from them. Their sites checkout interface has glitches in it that even though it's advertised, does not actually allow to complete a PayPal payment. I went through all sorts of troubleshooting including clearing my...

Thanks everyone. So far this is my favorite picture of her and I. I changed it to B/W and when not with baby and momma, been looking at it.

Say hi to my daughter Frances Elizabeth (named after her grandparents) She will absolutely be exposed to the classics and (in good time) vinyl and reel. After mulling it over and discussing a number of choices, momma and I agreed that the first song she gets played to her will be "American...

The most unhelpful, snide, sarcastic, and rude people I've ever dealt with. Roger in particular. If the rest of the company is otherwise solid and reputable, then Roger is the one who is going to run it straight into the ground. Plenty of competition exists. I am also urging Recording The...

I actually have someone working on the deck.

What I thought was going to be a simple operation has turned into a nightmare. Anyway, so the trusty 3030 was showing signs of needing a new belt: pitch would slow during play, would not engage in 15 ips speed, and so on. I didn't think much of it at first. So I ordered a belt (more on this...

Not yet. The Little One is due in Feb. I keep telling everyone that this kid will have a special talent. Because I am Caucasian and she is Latina, this kid will know how to steal stereo systems AND hook them up. He/She will be truly gifted in this area.

No one has done anything to help me out. The old Mrs Des is no longer Mrs Des. There is a new gal acting as Mrs Des now.

The base price was $1.59/ea. But shipping has to be factored in as well. Any way you slice it, that is a smoking screaming deal. These typically sell for $25-$30 EACH. I thought it was a typo. $15.99 for ONE would be a score. $15.99 for a ten pack case is simply UNHEARD of. But my intent is to...

Plucked these right off Ebay. I'm truly amazed no one else did. Maybe I just looked in the right place at the right time. 60..that's right...SIXTY.....NOS/Sealed Maxell XLI 35-90B tapes. INCLUDING SHIPPING.... Paid the princely sum of $2.43/ea. Woo hoo!!!! Finally caught a break.

I found a contemporary Country song that I actually like. After having spent decades mostly bashing the genré and sticking with my 60's-80's Classic Rock. This one is actually worthy of inclusion on a future reel mix. The intro is kind of Honky-Tonk. But let it get started. I like it.

Yes. The meaning of the name makes sense now that it was explained. It's respectful and understandable, but still annoying (IMO) considering the audience they are going after with this tape. The "36" is probably a reference to the 3600' length. But your suggestion is equally plausible.

It's official and now out and ready for immediate purchase. ATR just put a press release on their Facebook page and I expect their home page to also be updated here shortly. Prices as follows: Pancake.....$38 TCB w/ reel......$68 Definitely reasonable. No word yet on if it's going to be...
