Unfortunately no, at least not at the moment. We might do a cd when both parts (Painovoima II is coming out in October) have been released.
CDs are almost harder to sell these days it seems. I do buy cds a lot and on most occasions choose a cd over the vinyl when buying new albums. For example I just bought some Squarepusher albums and as I know they are perfect stuff to play in the car and the turntable system in my Citroen Maserati is a bit finicky I rather play the cd. Okei, I don't have a turntable in my car (which in truth is a 2004 Golf Variant...).

But I might be able to do a special CD-R copy to go with the vinyl in some special cases...;)

To me, the main advantage for CDs was in the car. But few cars come with players anymore. I have a ton of CDs, but buy mostly vinyl. I kept all mine from the beginning and added hundreds when people dumped their collections. Most for $1 a piece.

Carbon Fiber Friday? At least partially. Chalk it up to laziness but I wanted something easy to grab from my perch at the music workstation, and that's easy to manipulate in front of a computer desk.

And they accommodate what's currently on the agenda- one song that needs a fretless five string and the other a four string in Drop-D tuning-

But I haven't given up on long basses- here's mom's recent décor upgrade-

The explorer generally gets raves from visitors so it was moved to moved to the living room- currently turned to Eb, I'm using it to cover some rehearse some Robin Trower tunes-

Now I have one bass in Eb and the Precision is tuned standard for cover songs in standard tuning-

Oh, and mom co-opted another Tele on the other side of the room to balance things out-

Sung to the tune of Junior Birdmen. "Up onstage Thunderbirders, with our birds slung way down low, play with a pick cause we do what we want, our big rigs will carry the show. "

Is there an advantage to them being cold? Backed I might be able to do. I like shrimp but not cold. I can eat it that way but prefer not to. Maybe it's the same idea.

They are alive when the chef “shucks” them, that is opening them up and carefully cutting them free from their shell. They are then placed on half shell on a bed of ice and brought to your table, raw, fresh and a good source of zinc.

I've seen folks return them because they didn't shrivel when they squeezed lemon on them....

I'll save it!
Dave has had more BDs than me and I'm not trying to catch up. Not at the same time anyway.
