I recently bought a few albums from Kicking Mule, and I was favorably 
impressed.  The recording quality seemed to be pretty good, and I fell 
immediately in love with an album of Irish music for the hammer dulcimer
called "Timpan" by a fellow named Denis Murphy which was in the batch.
My one complaint?  The seemingly inevitable mail-order warp.  My 
turntable tracks slightly warped records just fine, but then there's 
that gut-rending screech when the tonearm returns to the rest...
Guess I'll just keep taping, as this problem seems unavoidable.

Anyway, I'm kind of fond of KM - they've let some rather unusual
people record, and I'm all for that.
