CES 2006 Mix CD: The Only Love
I tried to bring together songs that I love, songs that should prove fun and exciting to listen to, with an interesting variety of sounds and emotions.

Challenges and Rewards
Sheriff Truman: Jelly donuts?
Dale Cooper: Harry, that goes without saying.
The beast is now in the careful, capable hands of our copy editor, Richard Lehnert. I sent it to him last night, only six days after I began creating this latest collection of “Recommended Components” blurbs—the last six months of equipment reports, follow-ups, and column coverage distilled into 150-word gems. Six months squished into six days: less time than it took to create the universe. Dale Cooper: Harry, that goes without saying.

Chatting with Mark Levinson
Chatting with Wojciech Pacula
The Audiophile Tree of Life—a present from AudioStream's Michael Lavorgna. This guy watches over me while I listen to music.
In May, I exchanged a few e-mails with Wojciech Pacula, editor of the Polish online magazine, High Fidelity.
We discussed publishing, music, hi-fi, and life. (I can’t believe I didn’t mention Natalie, Nicole, the Mets, or beer.) You can read the interview here. There are also lots of pictures of my listening room and gear, which you might find interesting.
Pacula did a great job with the images and the translation. I don’t look or sound too painfully ridiculous. Whew!Cheap and Sexy
Boo Boo Records had a nice selection of cheap cassettes. Here I am making out with them.

Chelsea Light Moving: "Groovy & Linda"
And speaking of birthdays, today is Thurston Moore’s. To celebrate, let’s groove and flail to Chelsea Light Moving’s latest track, “Groovy & Linda.” The song, like most from Thurston, is a twisted love story.
