If you've been in the store and have seen the battle between Mikey and Sam and the volume control on the stereo you know that we have definitive proof that Sam is much much older than Mikey. Yes, music can be distracting at times, and no, that's not a bad thing. Music should affect you, and good music (which is only what we play) should rock you. My latest discovery is another album (I hate the term CD- truly good sounding music is analogue) from Little Axe called Champagne and Grits. An album mixed with acoustic and powerful electric blues, so beautifully recorded (at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios- the place that gave the Blind Boys of Alabama their breakout hit album after eighty years or so!) that if you don't have a truly good 2-channel audio set-up and have lost your way, take a trip to Alternative Audio in Dundas, Ontario and listen to what proper audio should sound like (totally unpaid endorsement- I paid list for George Harrison's All Thing Must Pass on vinyl there the other day). Yes, Alice, they still are pressing vinyl.
