>>> Oh crap I'm in trouble then, I can't stand Tom Petty.

Why I'll be darned Rick. [shaking my head]

I like listening to Tom Petty DJ'ing on the XM Radio (Ch46,Top Tracks)....he really gets into some of the good old stuff.

Fine performance of the Shostakovich 7th Symphony at the BBC Proms .

Dixie Chicks, Moxy Fruvous, Metallica, Megadeth, and Tool.

Oddity on the Tool one, though--can't set the receiver to stereo without it flipping back and forth between HDCD and stereo mode. I can't hear a difference between the two, but I do hear a click as it switches. Very annoying.

Beach Boys "Pets Sounds Sessions." Again.

The PSS is a revelatory set. You must get it!

Popped in the SACD version of "Madman Across the Water" by Elton John. Although not a big fan of surround mixes in general, this one was done very well. So far, I've enjoyed the surround format for Elton's SACDs.

Just cruising the Axiom forums and listening to Boston's Third Stage album, the song Hollyann on Pandora classic station.

A 30 year old mono table radio playing "A Million Vacations" by Max Webster. A bittersweet but fitting tribute to the end of the summer.

Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, by Gorecki. I shiver every time when Dawn Upshaw's voice first joins the strings.
