I heard this song in my formative years.

I think it explains my whole attitude to life.

Been getting plenty of playtime at our house. Even Mrs G likes it and she has (obviously) terrible taste.

How do you find the Rega? Do you use a preamp of straight into the the amp?

Need to get a reasonable turntable, but don’t want to shell out stupid money so these seem good value?

I love it! I have it wired into my SONOS via a Angle Audio pre-amp. Standard cartridge. Leather slipmat. Upgraded drive belt.
I looked for the pre-amp to send you a link because it is a cracking bit of kit for a decent price but can’t find it anywhere online. It’s this one:

Talking of cheering everyone up
 I’ve always loved the Eels and in particular Electro shock blues but couldn’t listen to it for years after my mum passed away from cancer. I remember going back home to see her and I was reading Mark Oliver Everett’s autobiography. I think I got half way through before she got really ill and I couldn’t finish the book. I couldn’t listen to electro shock blues for years after and have only done so once or twice since.

Yeah I loved “Beautiful Freak” and played it to death. I was so looking forward to the “difficult second album” but “Electro Shock Blues” I couldn’t handle. My Dad had died suddenly a couple of years before and my Mum was on her way with Dementia. I have everything else, apart from that one album.

It’s odd because I also love Sufjan Stevens and whilst loving most of “Carrie & Lowell” I find the whole album too much to listen to in one go.

I might give “Electro Shock Blues” another go
25 years on.

needless to say the pictures were of the Southwest desert states
