Hey, have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a Stereophile staffer? (I have.)

We can’t let Sarah Palin have all the fun.

The December 2009 issue of Stereophile is now on newsstands. Our final issue of 2009 includes our annual “Products">http://www.stereophile.com/features/1208poty/index9.html">Products of the Year” feature. People love this feature. We’re already receiving fun complaints from manufacturers whose products are not pictured in the article, complaints from readers because we only vote on products we’ve actually listened to, complaints from angry moms because we didn’t pick their children to play one of the lead roles in “A Christmas Carol.”

On a tree-lined, brownstoned block, in an old and ornate shrine, Fucked Up, joined by New Jersey’s Vivian Girls on backing vocals and Andrew WK on synths, made a scene. I kept a safe distance from the anarchy, up in the urine-scented balcony, with the other parents.

The people behind Atocha">http://atochadesign.com/index.html">Atocha Design want you to get your records off the floor. Hmm, have they been snooping around my apartment? Have they seen the ever-expanding mess of vinyl propped up against footstools and bookshelves? I want to get my records off the floor, too. (Help.)
