A couple of years ago I'd have called you a sellout.

I can understand where you're coming from, though; I haven't been able to sit and listen to an album in full (besides in the car on roadtrips) since last spring. Now that the weather is cooling off, though, I am much more inclined to sit back, fire up the amp, and spin an LP or CD all the way through.

A couple nights ago I turned off the TV and put in a CD I bought in Germany last year -- recordings made in the monastery at Ettal. I remembered I had some liquer from that same monastery, so I sipped on that while I listened to choral works; it was glorious! I need to get the "serious" HiFi organized and set up for the listening season now that it's getting less comfortable to work outside.
