    That would be a U-Turn Orbit Plus, counselor. What cart did yours come with? There seems to be a some random distribution of various options. Mine came stock with an Ortofon OM5E, which is certainly very serviceable, but not top shelf - but then again, one of the reasons I scooped it up for the price (with a 20% coupon and member discount at B&N).

    I haven't read the book, but given the lone (?) video I've seen of him talking (the one with Donna), I do get the sense that I'd much prefer to listen to him playing 1972-1974 improvs than actually saying anything.

    An early MOFI. My dachshund listened to my original pressing, so I scored this in the late '80s/early '90s. It's loud, but not too bad to listen to.

    Finally the sisters has picked up electric bass and guitar. A bit surprised it took so long but it was about damn time. Much better sound now.
    Going to see them in Göteborg in March. They're also performing at the Fox in Oakland and at the Beacon in NYC among other cool places.

    Disc 1 on the below - from the Miles Complete Box.

    (Mostly because I was in the mood for Al Foster and Nilssen-Love)

    Chris Stapleton. New record sounding good. He was at Joe Rogan's podcast a few days ago. Also a good listen

    You shan't be disappointed. I like using "shan't" in a coherent sentence.

    Tree trimming time with the Temptations' Christmas Card, the new Cheap Trick Christmas Christmas album (fun to hear them to cover the song from the old Jimmy Fallon/Horacio Sanz Christmas skit), and the Rotary Connection's Peace.

    "Blow 1". Fripp, Collins and Wallace jamming freely with a bass player whose identity I ignore. Great.

    , the debut record from Sloppy Heads. I'm disappointed to see this not showing up in more EOY lists, it seems to be unfairly overlooked. It's a trio from NYC featuring Jesse Jarnow (WFMU deejay and Head extraordinaire), with playing/production from Yo La Tengo's James McNew.

    RIYL: Record collector rock, Yo La Tengo, Velvet Underground, sloppy new-wave.

    I'm not a great Hendrix fan, but I love that one.

    The only Billy segment that stuck with me was in the Long Strange Trip film when he's talking about the rhythm of the Other One being a triplet over a 4/4.

    He almost certainly said other things, but what I mean is I found him impactful when talking about technical drumming stuff and less so on other topics.

    Meanwhile, this old chestnut, performed by the GD in 69-70

    Well, listen to the percussion intro to TOO; that's exactly what it is (12 over 4). At least for the drummers. That's the thing about the GoGD, they used polyrhythms in various degrees of complexity. Often they were fairly simple - such as TOO, which can be counted in 4, 6 or 12 depending on which instrument you are focusing on. Sugaree has a similar thing going on (4 and 6). Of course, since I listen on $2 ear buds through an iphone that was recently dropped in a mud puddle, my point might be called into question. :uhhuh:

    I just watched again - what he said was "it's a 4/4 with a 6/8 laid on top of it. Musicians know exactly what I'm talking about. You're always hearing two different time levels, 4/4 and 6/8..in the Other One, I can go anywhere I want with it; there's nothing you can't do in it."

    Meanwhile listening to this for the first time:
