What I’m Listening To: 7.12.18

Nick Lowe – Labour of Lust A friend recently posted on Instagram their purchase of Nick Lowe’s Labour of Lust LP and I commented on just how underrated this album is. He replied with what most people do, “I know Jesus of Cool but haven’t heard this one yet. Looking forward to it.” A week … Continue reading What I’m Listening To: 7.12.18

Took a drive to the country after work yesterday to pick up this Yamaha CR-420 and a pair of Bose 2.2 bookshelf speakers from a family moving to Missouri. So far a good Deoxit cleaning has brought sound back to both channels. Fingers crossed that is all she needs. The front face and knobs are filthy and the lights are all out so that will be my next task. I recall not enjoying removing those rectangular knobs on a previous Yamaha. Also, the wood case is sticky in some areas so it will get a good cleaning and maybe even a Howards coat.

Made this collage months ago but it feels especially relevant now.

With all of my might, with all of my might I do this, it’s a waste of my time to pursue this, I’m so full of self indulgence to think that you’d like this songgggggggg

Stumbled on this LP while digging on Discogs. The band only recorded two LPs with a 25 year break in between. Guaranteed to get your sore working from home back stretched out while shaking those legs tired from sitting in non office chairs. Check out back of jacket for more info. On streaming services if you’re tempted.

SOLD: Pioneer SX-680 receiver with a newly covered wood grain case, playing great at 30 watts per channel. 30 doesn’t sound like a lot of watts but I can’t turn it up past a quarter turn on the volume knob before I’m told the music is too loud. This one wasn’t originally producing sound, the case was pretty beat up and it was missing its two front feet when I got it. See before photos. There are a couple of dents on the front face but nothing too noticeable. Overall she’s now playing and looking great. I can ship in US if interested. DM for price!

And even more collage fun.
