I purchased this A/C on 5/25/09. It completely stopped working a few weeks ago--almost exactly 2 years after I bought it. Repairman said the compressor went.

Received the screwdriver as a gift.. Great to look at, brass and wood, but the insert that holds the barrel of the screwdriver is low grade potmetal and fell apart, leaving the screwdriver wobbly and unstable. A couple of pennies spent on better materials would have resulted in a beautiful and enduring product.

I think that this 'authentic' performance doesn't sound too different from most of the 'inauthentic' ones out there. The main difference is that I could better hear the take-and-give within the orchestra. There were a few awkward moments though, and not surprisingly they came when Norrington was trying for more energy ...

I did not want to buy this cd at first because I believed that the world didn't need another neo-soul, pretentious artist. I still feel that way about Alicia Keys, but with a little help she can be soulful without being pretentious. Stevie and Hathaway weren't pretentious at all! The song that is put together the best ...

This Torkless late album features a hilarious number ("Ladies' Aid Society"), a decent Nesmith track ("Listen to the Band") and an odd version of "Pillow Time" which song we also heard Mickey improvising in a bonus track on "Headquarters."

Heard the "Jennys" when Prairie Home Companion was broadcast live from Boston just the other night. Their harmonies and delivery are very impressive. While these girls don't have the edge that Amazon's reviewers thought I'd appreciate, I very much enjoy the harmony and their lyrics do not at all lend to easy listening.

Dustin O'Halloran's music came into my life, like many other things, as a great but fortunate coincidence.

(...) Basically, Uma Thurman`s character just wants to "Kill Bill".

Lots of great Pixies songs, although many of them, as live versions or instrumentals, don't really offer anything new.
