Does anyone know anything about the 70's/80's Vancouver punk band, The Secret V's? I can't seem to find much about them on the net, aside from the fact that Ray Condo played with them. Pics, mp3's, opinions, anything would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hi Gramsci, I would recommend perhaps taking a course given by Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft school. Meditation/morning sittings are one of the pillars of the teachings. It may be perhaps a bit more involved than what you are looking for, but the profound effect it had on my life prompted me to put it...

Looking to pickup a handheld recorder to make "field recordings" in my everyday life. Looking to spend no more than $100. Any recommendations? Would prefer to stay away from Mini-discs or devices that require media. Thanks!

Off-topic, but Devo related. Has anyone found any pics of the cool-ass guitars Devo used back in the day. Went looking around the net, but didn't come up with much.

My wife and I have sorted out all of the tough stuff on our own, just need to make it official. Everyt...

I'm eager to hear about any sleeves that you found to be great quality...high-gloss or not. Thanks in ...

I'm looking into having my music mastered for vinyl, and am interested in possibly working with these folks. My sense is that they may be gems in the industry (especially DRT, who I have some experience with). If anyone has had experience with them, or finds any interesting points in their descripti...

Any recommendations for some good gritty gospel music? Thanks in advance.

I've been searching around trying to find a company that produces the Mini-LP CD packaging, ala the recent King Crimson remasters, but have had little luck. Does anyone know of a company who creates these? They are heavy cardboard gatefolds, with the artwork printed on a seperate sheet, and then glu...

Just a heads-up that the performance of Slint's "Spiderland" in Boston is next Wednesday. Deets are here:
