Several items of hardware, including the kitchen sink. No music I’m afraid – renovating my new place before moving in and must take care of the essentials first so forgive me if my contributions on the board are a little sketchy over the next month or so - I’m a little pre-occupied! And load-shedding is back too.
I did buy a book, however – a recommendation from MH to which I look very much forward. Pilgrim at Tinker Creek – Annie Dillard.

JEWEL "pieces of you" - 25th anniversary 4cd box set.
huge fan of the album and it happened to be 1/2 price ($44) and less than 6 months since its release!
ordered it today, should get it in the mail sometime next week.
so,
disk #1 the original album.
disk #2 demos & outtakes.
disk #3 b-sides and unreleased material.
disk #4 a live gig of the album.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
i dont buy many boxsets but when i do they have to be great original albums, contain reasonably good extras and be good value for money IMO,
and this album ticks every box for me!

A discounted buy as I won a gift coupon – lucky me! Trying again to get my hands on Steve Hackett’s Under a Mediterranean Sky – this time through the local vinyl guy who imports directly from the Netherlands. His shipments actually seem to arrive, and to my surprise, it’s less costly this way!! Plus, I’ll get the records (it’s a double album) AND the CD. Huh! Should have gone to him first. Lesson learned! Ordering the new Kayak while I’m about it which is also 2 LP’s and a CD. Bonus!

^Looks like a nice booklet. One of those essential albums!

Music from the Salon - a CD of obscure but interesting classical pieces recorded by Vaughan Jones and company. Vaughan is an absolute wizard on the violin and he's been doing some work for me recently and will be doing more when I find the time to finish the rough drafts. I have not received the disc yet but looking forward to something different from what I normally buy. Nothing ventured...
Oh yes, I have also been spending some time with my new ARP2600 synth. It's like a new girfriend. You have to learn which buttons to press. If you press the wrong one it just hisses at you!
Speaking of which, I am going to listen to Joni Michell's 'The Hissing of Summer Lawns' this afternoon. Have not heard this in ages. A trip down memory lane for me.
