Day 25 - Sober up

I think I finally figured out the best hangover cure in my 30s (don’t get hammered at all because young children have zero respect for the hungover). Still, I listen to ambient music most mornings, so that’s what I’m going with here (this particular record is not the most relaxing ambient, but it’s a new release that needs more spins).

I don't know if this is really good for a hangover or not...

How does yours sound? I got a white copy and it probably had the most surface noise of any new record I've ever heard, even after an enzyme clean :oops:. Thankfully I ordered from Amazon - I might just throw in the towel on this release if they all sound somewhat bad. The white general release was so far beyond my noise threshold that it's hard to imagine getting a reasonable copy. Not really a fan of MPO.

It's not bad. Some surface noise in parts, but not constant.

Cleaning did help a bit.
 
March 26: Make Up Your Own Holiday Day - Make up your own reason to play something.

I finished my week of work already and am taking next week off...so I'm on vacation. With nothing planned, except for some cleaning of The Basement. Too many records that need filed away, shipping boxes that need to be taken outside, new records to listen to.

One reason we bought this house is that this basement is under the living room / kitchen, so sound doesn't really bother my wife and daughter sleeping. Not that I play anything too loud, but it doesn't have to be quiet.

Well I'm writing this at one or so and thus far a ton of people got skunked on both an Target pre-order for Animal Crossing goodies and the One-Step pre-order for the mailing list folks. So today's is going to be "The Internet Ordering System Is Broken" day, and I will be playing a record where I had an unexpected experience and ended up with two duplicate orders of a record due to Zia's system not actually registering my first order but sending it out.

As an aside, a Ltd. Ed of 300 for a well regard artist of one of her best records still being at retail is kind of insane to me.
