| Movie/film suggestions. I'm with you @77jovian. I have no idea what Barton Fink is about, and it's unlike the Coens to be so abstract. I find this film very disturbing. Mulholland drive is slightly more understandable, since we know Lynch likes to play around with dr... | |
| Congratulations to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings! Oops, they’re not their. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Yep, forgot about The Big Lebowski, and I really need to rewatch Blood Simple again. I've seen it only once, and that many years ago. I need to see Miller's Crossing again too. | |
| Congratulations to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings! And whatta ya know, their including Portland, Oregon in their current tour, so I'll finally get to see and hear them live for the first time. Tickets don't go on sale til Feb. 14th, so I don't yet know what it'll cost me. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @77jovian: I haven’t seen The Fortune Cookie, but I sure love Lemmon and Matthau in The Odd Couple. Who doesn’t?! Agree about the Coen’s, with the exception of Intolerable Cruelty. But then I haven’t seen The Hudsucker Proxy, Burn After Readin... | |
| New In 2025 Just announced, a Rhino Records "High Fidelity" reissue of The Ramones fourth album, Road To Ruin. While perhaps not their strongest album material-wise, it is notable for the appearance of drummer Marky in place of original drummer Tommy. Mark... | |
| what is more popular silver or black face plates @stuartk: I too had a blackface Deluxe Reverb (1966), a favorite amp with me. That was Evan Johns’ choice as well, but when we recorded the Moontan album his was stranded somewhere in the country, so the studio in Atlanta, GA provided him with ... | |
| Woodstock 1969, or 1967? No @winoguy17, I'll look into it, thanks. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Here’s a great film entitled "David Lynch Teaches You The Art Of Life---Full Masterclass." It’s almost three hours long, but it’s time well spent to watch it. https://youtu.be/yJqSSE9b90o?si=ZkGNQGuzhULXLGcM | |
| HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER? @carlsbad2: Isn't having a lifetime subscription more like having a library card than one's own library? | |
| Woodstock 1969, or 1967? The Dead’s second and third albums (Anthem Of The Sun and Aoxomoxoa) were (and I guess still are) amazing examples of psychedelic music, probably my favorites of the genre (though my exposure to that music is admittedly limited). And those 1968... | |
| HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER? The hi-fi shouldn't be worth more than one's music library. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Today I find myself longing to again see Wings Of Desire. I remember it as being as beautiful a film as I've ever seen. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @whipsaw: The Conversation is my favorite of Coppola’s. His "small" movie. Another favorite of mine is The Last Picture Show by Peter Bogdanovich. A great soundtrack too, with lots of Hank Williams. And Tender Mercies with Robert Duvall... | |
| Woodstock 1969, or 1967? Further thoughts: That year of 1967 spent in the basement of the Big Pink house was of as much consequence to the music Bob Dylan was to next record as it was to that of The Band. Dylan went to Nashville and recorded his John Wesley Harding... |
