In Reply to: RE: Jim Merod may be a nice guy & good engineer. Dunno. But damn, this may be the worst "review" I've...... posted by Rick W on October 06, 2014 at 08:41:34
Silly me!!!
Clark is actually a very sweet individual in person, and his knowledge of 78 rpm and early LP discography puts mine in the shade--especially pre-Cold-War-Thaw pianists mere mortals know only as names in footnotes.
It was at Clark's that I had one of the most memorable musical listening experiences of my life--archival recordings of Leonard Bernstein's rehearsing the BSO in Messiaen's Turangalīla-Symphonie in 1949.

Follow Ups:
This guy writes a lot more like James Joyce than Hemingway.
Finally, another inmate notices. I think we can safely say Mr. Merod has found the worst context for literary parody in the entire English-speaking world.
I guess we'll soon find out what Samuel Beckett thinks of planar magnetic headphones.
I'm sorry, further reading shows you already mentioned the JJ "similarity".
[I display my thread entries in probably an atypical fashion, so I don't always see all responses and didn't notice your previous one until now...]
when COMPLETELY cranked out of their minds!

No surprise there. But his attempt at literary parody apparently does not sit well with a lot of people here.
Coulda fooled me.How could literary parody cut it in such a deadly serious hobby?
Even JP Donleavy would be hard pressed to get a chuckle out of this crowd.
Must be some sort of polarity issue.

Jim Merod has first rate undergraduate and graduate degrees as well as a distinguished career in academia. Check out his faculty web page. Notwithstanding his distinguished CV his attempt at literary parody was an abject failure. "So it goes...". Looking at his academic interests, I wouldn't be surprised if he is an astounding teacher.http://www.soka.edu/about_soka/staff/Faculty-Full-Time/Jim-Merod.aspx

We will be waiting for Godot.
And I apologize for my snippy comment earlier. I guess I'm frustrated by our increasingly illiterate society. But throwing insults at people I don't know on internet chat sites probably won't help. ;)
