My first iPod was the iPod 3G so I was a little late to the game. I’ve own several iPods after that but the iPod 3G I felt was a perfect distillation of the original iPod experience. Four separate buttons in a row and a touch wheel (nothing moves) seemed like peak iPod design to […]

Sony PS-F9 “Flamingo” Turntable Repair
(This was originally a Twitter post from September 4, 2021) September 4, 2021 On the bench today: I’ve had this Sony PS-F9 turntable for a few years but haven’t been able to fix it. Power LED lights in button held down. Otherwise, nothing. Any ideas? Note: Own a Sony PS-F5 or Sony PS-F9 and missing […]
A new dust cover for the Sony PS-F5 turntable
Introducing the Sony PS-F5– a very unique turntable created in 1983 around the same time as the Walkman. It was arguably the beginning of Sony’s own burgeoning portable music craze.

Guest DJ Set On WVUD 91.3FM

Video: Benny Benassi “Satisfaction”
I love this Benny Benassi song “Satisfaction”, the saw-tooth bass and obvio-synthetic vocals stick in your head. Anyway, found two videos for it. The “dirty” one (below) is a RIOT! May be NSFW if girls in bikinis are frowned upon. It's sorta like the Snap-On calendar girls turned up to 11. Satisfaction By Benny Benassi […]

B12 Records Live Radio Set
On this day of commencement at my alma mater I'm reminded of the great IDM music that was just coming of age when I first started college. B12 was signed to the WARP label which also harbored many other great acts. B12 later started their own record label as well as continued their own music. […]
