Glad I did not spend the 2.5 hours driving the 100 miles to the show. That show used to be great.

I don't mind a 'target on my back'....still nimble 'nuff.... ;) J.D.'s 'broad brush' comments are like wall paint colors....either liked or not. Generally, one likes what's in hand until it's not. It can be expensive...or not. Subtle is an experience, and enough time and verbiage has been expended on that pursuit...see the the comment above this one. It's a pursuit...a hobby....a desire...whatever you feel it needs to be. How you fulfill that is entirely up to You. ...and that's my HO and vector into all 'audio'. You're welcome to come hear here. Anything else is just gas...expelled on a silent keyboard and screen... |
Rap is crap & NOT real music.. |
@nonoise Funny! He’d probably think that. One of his trademarks is to the the "outsider with insider knowledge." This is like the Mikey guy. (Actually, he’s the "rebel-who-tells-it-like-it-is-but-also-wants-to-sell-you-stuff-but-hey-its-not-about-the-money.) Then, there are others like Hans Beekhuyzen or Steve Guttenberg who don’t really bother with playing at being outsiders. They know their stuff, they like it, and they don’t feel a need to constantly tell people that they "Don’t listen to that tired old audiophile music" or some other story to prove that they are outsiders – "Hey, I’m just like you." I find Darko to be about 40% "Too cool for school" and while he’s done some great episodes, his overall persona is – to me – tiresome.
Why do you think this? Curious about the reasons. |
