Top 10 Myths affecting CD sound quality 10) fairies sprinkling magic dust over the read side 9) green markers 8) P.W.B. Rainbow foil 7) fingerprints on the read side (never had one misread due to this) 6) re-masters are better 5) I spent 'x' amount of dollars for this disc and it has to sound great 4) XRCD blows away every other version 3) XRCD 24, 32,...etc. plus those expensive SHM-cds are carefully crafted by master technicians deep in the bowels of a pressing plant and are gently packaged by the finest albino virgins from Rivendell 2) gold discs are the key factor in sound quality 1) first press cds with cool paint jobs (love those early cds but some of them are a long way from Tipperary)

Top ten that have utterly different meaning on acid: Plynth (Water Down the Drain) - Jeff Beck Didja Get Any Onya (onya onya onya) - Mothers of Invention Alleged In Their Own Time - The Holy Modal Rounders Echoes - Pink Floyd Blows Against the Empire (suite) - Jefferson Starship Who Will Save the World? - The Mighty Groundhogs Box of Rain - The Grateful Dead Dance of the Maya - Mahavishnu Orchestra (live) Any Zappa concert with Ruth Underwood on marimba or xylophone 200 Motels - Frank Zappa/Mothers Sorry that some are songs and some are albums. A bunch of us drove up to Franklin Pierce College in Rindge New Hampshire ~1973 to see The Holy Modal Rounders. They played a raucous show and because it was in an open hall, everyone was dancing (and who knows what else, drinking wine, smoking joints, getting laid...). The opening act was The Amazing Bigelow, who was an accomplished sleight of hand artist. We dropped about 30 min before he started, and sparks were flying from his fingers... His show climaxed with him repeating Houdini's escape from a water tank. Pretty intense... The "MahaVEESH" opened for Frank Zappa at Nassau Colisseum in Long Island one summer. It was payday, and all I can remember (other than the music) was that $100 dollar dills were falling out of my buddy's pocket ("Hey Dave..."). Good acid, too. Amazingly, he still had all his money the next day.
