It is a truly great record store, loaded with import CDs, used CDs, vinyl (for those who dig that) and is still to this day staffed with people who truly love music. Take any one of Aaron�s staff, name a record you like and the Aaron�s employee can give you five good recommendations of other artists or recordings you might like. Websites like Amazon try to do this but somehow just fall short. Big record chains simply don�t care about anything other than taking orders for CDs and DVDs you already knew you wanted before you walked in the door.

Not since the Vandersteen 2 has a loudspeaker come on to the audio scene with such assuredness of success. Not since the Vandy has a speaker so outpaced the competition in terms of quality and value at its price point as has this Gallo loudspeaker." Martin DeWolf - Bound For Sound "... This speaker combines so much unconventional thinking, novel applications and build quality in such a balanced, physically compact but sonically gargantuan and full-range design, and for such an exceedingly fair price that some drastic measure of formal recognition was required to truly separate it out from the crowds that make up the $3,000 - $10,000 floorstanding speaker field."

Over these last four years, Gov�t Mule has played with just about every great bassist under the sun; Tony Levin, Chris Squire, Jack Bruce, Jack Cassidy, Alphonzo Johnson, Les Claypool, John Entwistle � you get the idea. Even going on tour, they were traveling with several bass players at a time. Even with all that, the albums and tours produced over the last four years have been simply magnificent. The previously mentioned albums: Deep End Volumes 1 & 2, have all the previously-mentioned bass players, as well as about a dozen others. Mike Gordon of Phish (who plays on Vol. 1) also produced and directed an excellent documentary, Rising Low, of those recording sessions, where you really get an insight into how this group of musicians works. So what about their new album, Deja Voodoo?
