I got Fiona’s Extraordinary Machine for Xmas and I’m finally spinning it. Love the music, but really had higher hopes for the pressing. At least the collection is now complete.

Should I practice playing guitar, or listen to people who can already play guitar on my system?
I haven’t purchased any new gear in ages, but I pulled the trigger on a WireWorld Spaceport. Excited to get that into the system in the coming weeks!
I almost can’t even remember the last time I had an evening to sit down and spin vinyl. Got in a new album, a very old one, and a Gizz one. Great evening.
This is remarkably late, but I'm FINALLY getting the 3 latest Gizz albums on the TT tonight. Maybe not all of them, but starting with Ice Death and then I'll move to LD next.
Attention world: my wife voluntarily liked a 10 minute King Gizzard song. It is a good day.
Any suggestions for interesting new artists? I have been turning back to my old reliables more often, and I feel like I’m out of touch with newer artists.
I’ve got the gear itch bad and no funds to scratch it. Patience is a virtue and a curse!

Rage Against the Machine - The Battle of Mexico City is a great example of how even a fairly poor recording can still capture the essence of a show. This might be one of my favorite RSD releases since I learned that RSD was even a thing.
Got to hear a VPI Prime with Soundsmith Zephyr cart today. I was HIGHLY impressed. Amazingly low surface noise.
Moved my headphone system including loaner DAC into my office. I can't go backwards now. I guess I need to buy a DAC so I don't have to keep running headphones off my laptop.
I've got the house to myself all weekend - time to get spinning! Trying to figure out if I want to get Wildflowers, American Head, and/or Song Machine deluxe. I could get them all, but I'm trying to regulate the cashflow for other things. Hmmmm.
I have a very well regarded and somewhat expensive DAC in the house on loan. The only issue is that I cannot stop spinning records!
Haters gonna hate, but Dave Matthews Band - Crash is still phenomenal.
A friend's dad gave us his remaining vinyl collection, and I've been randomly cleaning it and going through various albums at random via discogs roulette. Tons of fun to discover new/old gems! Getting my first real taste of Emerson Lake and Palmer right now.
Spinning some shiny plastic discs from my younger years. Staind might not be hifi, but it's hi-fun!
New Texas Gentlemen is a good start to the weekend
Is it just me, or is VMP's customer service responses even slower than they were when they migrated to the new site? The old 48 hour window seems to always be an automated response, but real responses seem to take a week or more now.
Got a delivery notice from VMP, but no package. I changed my address this month so I'm assuming in typical VMP fashion they messed up and shipped it to my previous address. Guess I'll find out the solution in like 1-2 weeks when they get back to me. Ughhhh.
