Farewell to the Jazz Loft

Over the years, one of the more popular posts on my blog has been "CD shelving tips (with Maulina)," mainly because it ranks high on search engines when someone types in "CD shelving tips" (not to mention "Maulina"). Sadly, the Jazz Loft, from which I've purchased thousands of those space-saving plastic sleeves, is going out of business. Their last orders will be taken on May 5th, and big discounts are being offered for such items as John Luther Adams's For Lou Harrison and the Tubin Second and Sixth Symphonies. The sleeves will, however, still be for sale, on a separate site. As I said back in 2004, they have very nearly saved my life, or, at least, my sanity. Maulina also endorses them strongly; a stray sleeve feels nice against one's teeth.
