| Ever heard Rockpile? @sns: Oops, I forget to include the fact that the Taxi To The Terminal Zone was an album by Ducks Deluxe. I saw Rockpile live only once (at The Country Club on Sherman Way in Reseda California), and they were fantastic. Moon Martin was the ... | |
| Ever heard Rockpile? I guess I (and @slaw) need to give the Little Village album another spin! I loved them live. @sns: Another Pub Rock album to give a listen to is Taxi To The Terminal Zone, produced by Dave Edmunds. | |
| A good little documentary on the great Jim Lauderdale. Oh, and Elvis Costello, Patty Loveless, Ricky Skaggs, Jerry Douglas, James Burton, Ralph Stanley, Dusty Wakeman (SoCal recording engineer, and player of a 3-string Fender P-Bass), many others. I learned some things I didn’t know about Jim, and... | |
| Analogue front end. You want more weight, scale and dynamics.Where do you start upgrading? With the acquisition of a London pickup. Then you will need an arm that can handle the mechanical energy it produces (a stiff arm tube and strong bearing design and build). | |

| A life sentence!!! Oops @jasonbourne71. I think you makes it three, as @whart mentioned he still has a pair of QUADS up and running. I too have a pair, but they’re still down in SoCal in storage. I gotta bring them up to the Northwest this Spring. I have all the... | |
| One of my favorite bands, one that many have never heard. And here's one in which they exhibit their sense of humour: https://youtu.be/pI-J87OMqp8?si=w1038_lNqV7gGs1l | |
| One of my favorite bands, one that many have never heard. Here’s a clip of the current NRBQ line up performing a song from the band’s early days, found on the album they did with Carl Perkins. I love the Telecaster playing of guitarist/singer Scott Ligon. When I saw them live at a club in Portland a ... | |
| New In 2025 On April 25th, Legacy Records releases a new Willie Nelson album, one of him preforming songs written by Rodney Crowell exclusively. Good for Rodney, a personal favorite of mine. If you don’t have his 2001 album The Houston Kid (Sugar Hill Reco... | |
| One of my favorite bands, one that many have never heard. @bassbuyer: Yeah, if record company owners could figure out how to know which bands and/or solo artists were going to capture the hearts and minds of the general public their jobs would be much easier. My musical taste runs to cult-level music... | |

| What are your top 3 favorite turntable companies (manufacturer) and why? For anyone considering an AR table, look for one from the 1980's, the ES-1. The 60's model has a terrible tonearm, the ES-1 could be had with no arm or a Jelco-sourced (I belive) one. I have had three AR's, starting with the original back in 1... |
