Vinyl

I own a fair amount of vinyl and I enjoy buying both old and new. More about Vinyl.

Hardware

portables

I currently use a Sansa Fuze, running Rockbox. Before that I used (and loved) an iriver H140. You can read more about the switch.

Before that, I used to own and love a minidisc player.

Firmware

I thoroughly recommend the rockbox open source firmware for the iriver. It is infinitely better than the official firmware. In fact, if I were making a jukebox purchasing decision today, I would consider an ipod, as (since January 2006) rockbox on the ipod can play sound and vorbis etc.

The Cure

There are a lot of cure bootlegs, and a lot of interesting cure stuff to collect on them. Stiff as toys and tall as men has a very comprehensive bootleg database.

unanswered questions

There's a version of the Cure's All Cats are Grey floating around on bootlegs that has a string (probably violin) introduction. Here it is on youtube:

I've never found the full song (just the string intro) and never in a good quality. Does anyone know the story behind it? Is it an early demo? Who is playing the violin? Or is it a live recording?
