I've always loved that cover.


I just sold my Kindle Touch on E-Bay and ordered a Kindle Paperwhite.  Needless to say, I am very excited!

An iPad/Nook fan, huh? :P

I use my Kindle quite a bit so I'm sure I'll be very happy with the Paperwhite. :)

Nah, I read real books/papers.
Not that I have anything against e-books.

Sometimes I forget that such creatures exist... 0:)

Seriously, though, I've got no problem with real books.  I actually spend far too much time defending fans of real books against an iPad nut friend of mine.

Fafner

I just bought this album in a tiny local CD/LP record shop, privately operated by a old rocker.

I never heard of the band before, but on a cursory listen I got quite intrigued. And it is always good to support those people who maintain such shops as a labour of love.

It sounds a lot like the music I used to listen to on my dad's old reel tape recorder (70's art rock).

I love how that post started out as one album and turned into three. :D  (I know the feeling, I assure you...) and you have me in the mood for Tangerine Dream, it seems.  I'll be digging out some early-mid '70s stuff soon.

Good stuff Papy!  :D  - I have 4 of these albums. I think they are as good as Happy Songs For Happy People. Enjoy your listening!  :)

G'day Conor.

I already had some low quality downloads of Cody, Young Team and Rock Action but never really clicked with them like I did with Happy Songs... until this week when I had a Happy Songs frenzy and the mood was right ... so I pulled the trigger on those CDs to enjoy them to the full. Samples of the other 3 were very appealing on youtube !!!

Listened to the full Zidane S/T last night on youtube....that was something else too... will probably order that one as well !!  :)

Oh yeah...the boys and I definitely approve. That's my favorite metal album.
