what are you listening to?

I can attest to Tony's stash - my 3 Chords & The Truth mix is on the one he graciously sent me and it is an all-out excellent sounding tape. Speaking of...
 
Frank Sinatra
'Where are you?'
1957
His first album recorded in Stereo.

This one was an indoor flea market, dollar bin find - a visual mess - but a true testament to why the Sugar Cube is so amazing.
The cover smells old, as does the inner sleeve - but hell - the cover alone is worth more than a dollar :p
Just take a look at the wax! Any regular Joe would see that and toss it right back into the bin.
As bad as those scratches look, this album amazingly doesn't skip.
The pic doesn't do the abuse justice - in bright light it's covered with abrasions galore!

I have to crank up the Cubes processing level to 9 to make it sound near mint...

I can totally see this album playing on one of those Zenith consoles, with the unforgiving serpent head tone-arm & diamond chisel groove tracer.

Just eye level jewel cased in the main collection easy to grab. Most of the ones I have been playing that Tom sent we are in hanging file boxes holding a couple hundred and the jewel case collection hasn't been getting played much. Best part this set ended 7 minutes before PTI came on. I like watching Mike and Tony.
 
Headphones. Listening with headphones so I can hear over the little ceramic heater in my office. Basement running at 55-ish degrees in this weather with only the one vent for the entire 1100 square feet. Got down to 9 here last night, high of 25 today.

So how's the weather in your neck of the woods?

Hi Bob,
It's -9 degrees as I type this, -25 degrees wind chill. Tomorrow even colder, -15 degrees actual temp tonight, -30 degrees wind chill. Dangerously cold. Most area schools are called off today, and tomorrow, dangerous for kids waiting for buses.
Stay warm,

You win. That's sweet jeebus cold right there. Stay warm.
 
-15 degrees here as I type this. Got to -17 when I woke up this morning.
Wind isn't bad but still it is -35 with the wind chill.
All schools are closed again today. This should be the end of the really cold stuff.... big heat wave coming, we may get to 0. :oops:
