jason
i’ve finally begun ripping some albums to mp3. i took care of the illustrious george harrison last night. i can probably get three a night done or so. i’ve added elvis costello and the minutemen to the list and will get all those done as soon as possible. probably done by the end of next week. send me an address

jason, you’d give 5s out like they were candy. the 5 has to be reserved for something special. the b52s will be modified as it was about the second record i’d listened to and i really love that album. most albums have been getting between a 3 and 4. a few two’s and maybe a one every once and a while. i’ve had a little trouble trying not to give an artist a higher rating just because i love them. we’ll see how it works out.
as far as the dvd goes. i have yet to begin work on that. it requires moving the record player in by the computer, setting up the amp, and fiddling with it to no end. maybe one of these upcoming days and megan is out of school and decides to go somewhere i can increase the amount of mess i create for a short while.

the goldberg variations in question should be the 1955 version (the 81 version is amazingly different and also fantastic – i have it here with me on CD) and should of course be a 5 rating, but i have decided not to interfere with this rating system as long as beef coverts these records to digital while listening… (by the way, beef, we are still awaiting our first DVD-R with the albums we set aside for you to record, and you can add to the list the entire elvis costello and minutemen collection por favor. priority to imperial bedroom, get happy, ballot result and double nickels. i’ll keep you posted on my joneses as they appear). go beef go!!

1955. I think. I’ll check when I get home but from what I remember from reading the album cover – it’s 1955. Regardless, I will check and update the appropriate column.

Which Goldberg Variations recording? 1955 or 1981?

ahhh… many cans of worms will be opened by that ratings system. i see a couple of albums that i would have certainly rated 5… er… at least 0.5 above the B52s (though this is a really good one).
