UN LIEU POUR ESSAYER D'ÉCRASEZ l'INFÂME ENCORE MANIFESTE. A place to think "out loud". A place to indulge my taste for diatribe. A place to honor humanist values and to remember that enlightenment ideas are the foundation of our democracy, such as it is.

I grew up listening to records -- shellac and vinyl -- and the sound of a needle tracking the grooves of an old LP is still deeply comforting to me -- a sound from childhood, like the fan of the hot air furnace coming on. However turntables are now relatively scarce, and we are becoming less tolerant of noise from the medium the music is stored on, so putting up renovated files of what I consider choice, but neglected performances, seemed a good way to spend some time. There are several thousand LPs in the house, a lot of them not re-issued on CD, some of them performances of real importance. If you like something, post a comment. I'd love to hear from you. Everything posted here is in my personal collection on LPs or 78rpm records, and any restoration to the file is done by me. I do not post anything from CDs.
