Time Out of Mind

One of my all-time favorites, takes you to a dark cold place, but once there you'll never want to leave.

"Shadows are falling and I’ve been here all day
It’s too hot to sleep, time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I’ve still got the scars that the sun didn’t heal
There’s not even room enough to be anywhere
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there"
- Not Dark Yet

"The air is getting hotter
There’s a rumbling in the skies
I’ve been wading through the high muddy water
With the heat rising in my eyes
Every day your memory grows dimmer
It doesn’t haunt me like it did before
I’ve been walking through the middle of nowhere
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
"
- Tryin' to Get to Heaven

give it a listen, even if you don't like Dylan

not the nicest looking amp, but for the price it can't be beat, sure you can find cheaper 2-channel mini amps on ebay, but you never know what your getting, plus they all sound terrible. This little thing is perfect for your computer or ipod. I use it at work and it's just awesome, small enough to put anywhere and just enough power for office listening.

Soon i will be working on my own version of this and some powered speakers as well.
i will keep you posted, sorry for the messy desk
