This one stung a bit. I've been playing Yes for the last couple of hours. It is with great sadness I announce here that Chris Squire, Bassist and co-founder of the mighty Prog Rock band Yes, passed away peacefully this morning from a rare form of Leukemia. He was 67. He is survived by his wife...

I got a note from Time Warner telling me I need a new modem because of work they did on the wires or something. Just got around to doing the modem swap today and it was not as easy as I thought, although it was supposed to be....not my first rodeo either. So of course, everything goes wrong and...

After I get my PC sound issue solved (fixin to order a dac = my first piece of Schiit LOL! See what I did there), I think the next item I need to focus on is a pair of headphones. I’ve been looking to upgrade my headphones for months now and it has turned out to be about the hardest thing to do...

I was working on my database a little this evening and started with The Alarm as they happen to be the first listed in alpha order. They were big in the 80s. I was looking up some links to add and it brought back memories. I saw these guys live twice. One was opening for U2 and the second was...

Playing America - Hideaway. Also just unwrapped my new "Hunt style" dry brush I got from Sleeve City. I'd say it is a Hunt brush for less money. All metal construction and nice build and works great. ~Eric

It’s been about three years since I attended T.H.E. Show Newport and that first time it was not good for me. Now, here I am 3 years later making a second attempt at it in no different position than I was at the first (still a non-audiophile, very limited income, etc.). However, this time was...

https://www.yahoo.com/music/u2s-longtime-tour-manager-dennis-sheehan-dies-120033906161.html Another tragedy? This U2 tour is cursed or something. First it was not known if Bono would be recovered enough from surgery to start on time, then David Evans (Edge) falls off the stage during the first...

The Physical Emotions Caeles Turntable | Analog Planet This is straight out of Star Wars. It's an Imperial Turntable. I didn't know they allowed vinyl records on the Deathstar. No wait, it's what you get when an Imperial Storm Trooper gets together with R2D2 and they have a love child. Wow...

The Essential Johnny Cash 1956-1983

The man that made the Blues popular for so many has passed away. Blues legend B.B. King dies at age 89 in Las Vegas - CNN.com I kind of knew this was coming from last reports, but it's still a hit below the belt. The tributes will be plenty and from some of the tops in the biz. RIP BB King...

BB King currently in home hospice after release from the hospital for a mild heart attack and diabetes complications. Oh yes,....this one is fact by the way.

Hey folks, I just heard that Joni Mitchell has slipped into a coma today and is unresponsive. (I would think that kind of goes with a coma though so why did they put that in the report)? Her close friend Leslie Morris has now filed papers to become Joni's conservator. This does not look good...

The SHOW Newport (Irvine this time) coming in 5 weeks. I have only been once, a couple of years ago and did not dig it. This year I found out that Spatial is going to be there and I've been wanting to hear those speakers. I mainly want to attend some of the seminars, so I decided to try to go...

I am. Cheering on my man Phil "The Thrill" Michelson. I was a bit worried at first, but look out, here we are third round and he has worked up to 3rd place. ~Eric Update: Phil is now in 2nd place! yay!
