High School Record follows four awkward 17-year-olds as they struggle through their senior year. Like most high school students, they ride a continual wave of embarrassment: crappy after-school jobs, attempted sex in the science room, tinfoil shorts, guitar-strumming hippie teachers and brushes with the law. The only difference is that their moments of humiliation are all caught on tape - our gang of four are the subjects of a documentary shot by fellow classmates. A journey into narrative anarchy, High School Record is an engaging film partially improvised by its young cast. Written by Ben Wolfinsohn and based on his own high school experiences, HIGH SCHOOL RECORD is a painfully funny exploration of the teenage mind. High School Record is a follow up to Wolfinsohn's critically acclaimed music documentary Friends Forever.

Yamaha MCX-1000 MusicCast server Review
The good: CD player/recorder/ripper and wireless music server with 80GB built-in hard drive; great sound; optical and coaxial digital audio inputs and outputs; uses Gracenote's CD Database; wirelessly streams music to MCX-A10 or MCX-C15 client (not included).
The bad: Pricey; doesn't stream music from Internet music services or networked PCs; somewhat small hard drive size; doesn't display CD artwork; can't transfer preripped MP3 files from CD; can't stream video files.
The bottom line: The high-end MCX-1000 is an audiophile-friendly CD ripper, recorder, and wireless music server, but PC MP3 hoarders will want to look elsewhere.
