		<description><![CDATA[If you haven&#8217;t seen the recent news on Pandora, the rise in performance royalties for internet radio (coupled with their fast-growing listener base, especially on the iPhone) is swallowing up all their revenue and they may have to shut down.  Read about it here.  
I really hope they can avert a shutdown by [...]]]></description>

Most of the opening event ceremony was in the style of &#8220;Western Art Music&#8221; (i.e. &#8220;classical&#8221; ish ) &#8212; including the Chinese National Anthem itself.   Instead of choosing to celebrate traditional music, the Chinese largely deferred to the West.  
The &#8220;percussion instrument fou and stringed instrument Guqin&#8221; ( http://in.news.yahoo.com/43/20080808/876/twl-chinese-culture-shines-at-dazzling-o_1.html ) were played. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Crate digging refers to finding music by literally digging through crates of vinyl.   For me, crate digging is what vinyl is all about – by rediscovering old music, you are reconnecting with history.   To be a good crate digger, you have to be a musical detective – following leads [...]]]></description>

The music is crazy loud and yet you never use any sort of hearing protection.  Concert venues can be 105 dB (or more), [...]]]></description>

33 1/3 RPM&#8211; LPs (Long Play) &#8212; 33s – (usually) 12 inch

1. Thrift stores
Supposedly, people find good and even rare records at thrift stores.  They must be going to different stores than me  because all I can find is cast recordings of old broadway shows, light classical favorites, and Mitch Miller sing-alongs.  [...]]]></description>

The most frequent knock on the blues is [...]]]></description>

Maybe their conclusion is fair, maybe it&#8217;s not.  It&#8217;s impossible to tell because the article itself draws it&#8217;s conclusions from such a selective set of facts.  A [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
So you’ve got a record player.  It didn’t come with a needle, did it?  Hope you saved a little money because having a decent cartridge may be even more important than having a good record player. 
A cheap record player shouldn’t destroy your records (unless you have a tracking problem and/or you overload [...]]]></description>
