The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.
One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.
Lost Worlds Broadcast on BBC 4 (and the Web)
By James Grahame
Giles Perkins returns this week with Lost Worlds. I'll let him take it from here...
This week, esteemed UK public broadcaster BBC Radio 4 has as its "Book of the Week" an airing of Micahel Bywater's fantastic Lost Worlds. Read by the unique and quintessential Englishman Stephen Fry, Bywater's book is brought to vividly life, bemoaning the loss of everything that was once good, from Cane Fishing Rods to Fully Fashioned Nylons and Sturmey-Archer bicycle gears. Packed with cynicism and sentimental yearnings, this journey down a long and winding memory lane is an audio retro-trip not to be missed. [Giles runs onSuper8.org, a superb Super 8 site]
