| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? Two great new posts! @billstevenson: It was I who mentioned Davey Tough. He was way before my time, and played a genre of music I am unqualified to talk about. But the other members of the bands he played in sure thought very highly of him.... | |
| Vinyl Care @twangy57: You’ll "probably" take @billstevenson’s VPI HW-16 for $75? Don’t just think about it, do it! That’s one hell of a bargain. My first vacuum-style LP cleaner was a Nitty Gritty, which I found to be lacking (too many revolutions to ... | |
| What artists can you not get enough of? Another one I forgot @chazz101s! I do indeed like Kelly a lot; I have seven of her albums on CD, one on LP. I used to have one Monte Warden album, and one Wagoneers album, of which he was a member. I don’t remember getting rid of them, but I do... | |
| Vinyl Care You can get a Record Doctor V vacuum LP cleaning machine from Audio Advisor for $199.37. The best two hundred bucks you’ll ever spend! Far superior to the Spin Clean. | |
| What artists can you not get enough of? I inexplicably forgot two of my very favorite music making couples: Buddy & Julie Miller and Larry & Teresa Campbell. If I could listen to only one currently-active artist for the rest of my life, it would be Buddy Miller. A great singe... | |
| What artists can you not get enough of? Hmm, how deep should one go? Many on my list have been included in those of others, one reason I continue to read the Audiogon Forum. When it’s time for Classical, I usually reach for something from the Baroque era. J.S. Bach of course, but... | |
| Tune of the Day NRBQ performing "Flat Foot Flewzy" live. The last time I saw the band live in a Portland Oregon club, Los Lobos saxophonist Steve Berlin joined them onstage for a coupla songs. They were---as this video displays---great. https://youtu.be/5K... | |
| Favorite rock/pop male voices Geez, I forgot Brenda Lee! | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? Oh @stuartk, good one! For those wondering, those cited lyrics are in The Band's song "When You Awake", found on their perfect second album. | |
| Develop a hierarchy for phono playback The cartridge is---as is the loudspeaker---a transducer. Both are the most variable (in terms of sonic character, color---the reproduction of vocal and instrumental timbre, and transparency) component in a system. IMO. Likewise, the biggest co... | |
| Favorite rock/pop male voices Off the top of my head, the following come to mind. - Iris DeMent - Emmylou Harris - Tammy Wynette - Lucinda Williams - Lou Ann Barton - Julie Miller - Bonnie Raitt - Darlene Love - Arlene Smith (of The Chantels) - Ruth Brown -... | |
| Record Store Day I was a late comer to Record Store Day, not participating until 2016. This years offerings was my favorite of them all. I bought:the LPs of: - Bobby Charles - Ry Cooder - Elvis Costello - Jackie DeShannon - Hank III - Emmylou Harris -... | |
| Tune of the Day "If You Play With My Mind (You’re Gonna Get Your Hands Dirty)." Written by Cornell Hurd, the performance of the song on Little Art’s Poker Party TV show by the Springfield Missouri band.The Skeletons. If the drummer looks familiar, it’s becaus... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? - Hank Williams: "No matter how I struggle and strive, I’ll never get out of this world alive." Hillbilly wisdom. - Loretta Lynn: "You ain’t woman enough to take my man." "Don’t come home a-drinkin’ (with lovin’ on your mind)." - Cornell Hurd... | |
| A great, great talk by Robbie Robertson on all things The Band. Audiogon member @thecarpathian already nominated Idiocracy in this forum’s Movie/Film Suggestions thread, but it is now apropos here as well. |
