Yes. That is an incredible album. On classic 12-inch vinyl LP. VINYL? Are you serious Peter, that is raw non-renewable petroleum stock!!! Shock and awe. But it is from 1962 and I am preserving not only the raw material but also the MUSIC itself. Getz and Byrd are awesome, and also FOR ALL YOU iPod and CD swingers. Classic 33rpm vinyl has MORE MUSIC DETAIL than any CD, betcha. Play it on a Time Domain Yoshii 9 set of Minimalist Audio Engine speakers and amp if you don't believe me. And if you REALLY DON'T believe me, bet me. Bet me a bottle of pink Dom Perignon 1995. You will enjoy losing the bet. This sound fidelity is INCREDIBLE.
And yet here I am, sipping on Bushman's Gully 2004 Cab Sauvignon (bought at Wal-Mart Japan, nasty) and lo and behold, this comes over the transom. An ALL-POINTS BULLETIN from Major Domo Don Morton at Half-Fast Headquarters.
What can I do but run it past you all. April 4th by the way is TOMORROW.
From Don: Just a reminder that Wednesday, April 4th is our monthly Half-Fast meeting at The Pink Cow (map at: www.thepinkcow.com )
Lots of stuff gong on. Mike will offer a presentation about the use of GPS in the pursuit of better biking. How to use a GPS device, how to interface with your computer, GoogleEarth, etc. And lots of other nifty tech stuff. This technology can of course be used in many sports — sailing, hiking, curling, etc.
And we will choose from a staggering number of entries for the Half-Fast team jersey (4, 3 of them Mike’s).
Those sado-masochists going to Sado in a few weeks are advised to attend, as Kelly and Kaz will be laying out final plans for transportation, lodging, etc.
Outstanding pair of cherry blossom rides this weekend. I’m attaching an absolutely great shot of most of us on Sunday that you’re really going to like.
And we’ll talk about some upcoming rides in the next few weeks and months (Izu, Miura, Oshima).
Starts around 8, but you can get there early to chow down and quaff a few ales.
Ja mata.
