Time Out

Time Out Paris (Time Out Guides)
$19.95
I like this guide, which is organised around the different areas of town. The restaurant suggestions are especially valid in my view. But this is not Michelin sophistication. It is a British guide afterall. Don't care so much about the hotels. There is also historial/background introductions. Where the book is weak is in somewhat off the beaten track attractions. I can also recommend Michelin's green Paris guide. That book is stronger on high culture, but certainly not the only domain of that guidebook.

Time Out New York

Took advantage of the 8-issues-free offer and cancelled after 6. Have been trying to get my $19.99 back from them for the past 5 months. I have been on the phone with them having the same conversation so many times that I can't stand it anymore. Each time it's the same BS - "you didn't request a refund when you cancelled", " we'll put in for a check to be sent to you", "not sure whey the check hasn't been processed"... If only it was a publication worth all of this trouble.

It's impossible to buy this sacd in Spain (few of them are avalaible), but this version it's amazing. Not hybrid version.

Time Out -50th Anniversary (2 CD/1 DVD Legacy Edition)
$15.93
I'm a vinyl nut - I still listen to CDs but I find vinyl to be more satisfying in general. But this release has to be one of the best CD transfers I've heard in a long while. The original album on vinyl is outstanding, but this is so close that's it's hard to pick a winner. The drums on "Take Five" just jump out at you, and the sax sounds wonderful.

The live show is worthwhile, and I really enjoyed the Brubeck interview. Neat stuff.

I recommend this without reservations, even if you're a vinyl snob. :)
