Despite the wonders that are delivered by digital music today, sometimes I really miss lying on my back on a shag carpet, eyes closed, two huge stack speakers aimed at my head, listening to a quality vinyl record played over excellent analog equipment.

Esther Wilberforce Packard. I foresee many an hour wasted in these archives. The eHarmony saga from the Right Hand of God. Older, yet timeless in its truth.

It would not be an exaggeration for me to say that over the course of a single week, I read a metric ton of whatnot, web-based and otherwise.
