I just read a really interesting article regarding ground loop problem caused by computer and AV equipment. So hard wiring may not work… Apple AirTunes? I wish, its $129! I guess I should start looking for cheap “audio isolators” but no idea what that looks like or how much they cost… Speaking of music, I [...]
I have been running my home made radio station with stremsicle for a while now. But I am still unable to play the same music that is playing from my computer on my stereo system in the living room. I have very nice mission speakers that audio snobs would want… I once was one… it [...]
OK So I think I am convinced that I want to buy a cd (or even both of them) by Jamie Cullum. I hear that song “All at sea” here and there on the radio and always sort-of-liked it. It’s the media hype that kept me away from him. That he is the next Harry [...]
Baby and I listen to this album, “Songs I Heard” by Harry Connick Jr..

Songs include Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, Oompa Loompa, A Spoonful of Sugar, The Jitter bug Mary old land [...]
One of my joy is when I can figure out chords of tunes. I used to figure all sorts of songs chords so that I can play guitar and sing. I have one whole notebook full of chords. I was able to figure out one of my favorite song by Stevie Wonder today. It was [...]

Last night we saw Branford Marsalis and his quartet at the Reggata. Branford Marsalis – Soprano and Tenor Saxophones, Joey Calderazzo – Piano, Eric Revis – Bass, and Jeff “Tain” Watts – Drums. Man they were good. Though it was not the hummable jazz, was very entertaining. They played Gloomy Sunday, Laker’s Loss, Don’t mean [...]
I have a confession to make. I love Outkast‘s new album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. Sure, it has bad language and all, but I think Music is awesome and lyrics, as far as I understand (which is not a lot), is not bad. Each of two CD’s are creation of each member of Outkast, Big Boi [...]

Wurlitzer EP 200A is in my house. This is pretty sweet, it’s a electric piano but has action like regular piano, perfect for practicing – not so loud, has built-in amp if you want it to be loud. It had couple of dead keys so I opened it up and looked at it, there was [...]
