| Need some help with Brandenburgs @dodgealum: Yes! I too have the Fuller boxset, and share your opinion. I like the composition enough to have multiple recordings of it, others (in addition to the Pinnock) being Nikolaus Harnoncourt on Telefunken, Gustav Leonhardt on Phillips, and... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? @tylermunns: Another great post! That quote is of course taken from a song on The Mothers Of Invention's We're Only In It For The Money album, and is a joke line my friends and I used for years. As for Zappa, he apparently didn't know the "In his... | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One @tylermunns: OMG, I love Ghost World! There is much about it to love, including the Blues Hammer scene. SO true! Every time I happen to see a clip from a current Country Music Awards Show on TV (my sisters watch them. Ugh.) I am reminded of Blues ... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? Zappa was so literal. | |
| Need some help with Brandenburgs @notify: If you like Pinnock’s Brandenburgs, look for his recordings of Handel, Rameau, and Scarlatti on the UK label CRD. Great performances, excellent recorded sound quality (the harpsichord is in your room!) and LP pressings. | |
| Jude-not Julian Lennon mattmiller’s "facts" are fake news, most likely "learned" on the God-almighty internet. Everyone has known about Paul’s inspiration for the "Hey Jude" lyrics for a half-century. That’s "old news." | |
| Unusual Old School Way of Wiring Speakers What the Dynaquad box does is create a left minus right signal (the opposite of a left plus right mono one, as used for the center speaker in 3-channel stereo---somewhat popular in the 1950’s, and of course in home theater for the dialog channel).... | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One @tylermunns: Turning a new friend on to a favorite old album or movie is SO fun! It's also a great way to appraise their taste, intelligence, sense of humour, etc. | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One @tylermunns: David Lynch is one of the few genuine genius (a very overused adjective imo) of our lifetimes. Criterion was having their annual catalog sale a few weeks ago, and I picked up copies of their DVD (I haven’t yet made the move to Blue R... | |
| MoFi controversy Exactly, @daveyf. It’s fine that MoFi decided they prefer DSD to analog, but they then shouldn’t have continued to claim they were cutting their LP’s from analog master tapes. That was, of course, a deliberate, intentional lie. And by the way, An... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? @noske: I saw Larry Norman quite a few times when he was one of the two lead singers in the San Jose group People, who had a hit single in 1968 with their recording of The Zombies "I Love You". Larry was asked to leave the group when the four musi... | |
| Creedence on vinyl Excellent @tylermunns! Analogue Productions also has fantastic LP’s of Elvis and Roy Orbison titles featuring glorious 1950’s sound, recordings made with tube equipment, vocals often captured with the legendary Neumann/Telefunken U47 tube micropho... | |
| Creedence on vinyl @tylermunns: Good news! Analogue Productions has reissued the debut Buddy Holly LP, and it is spectacular! Considerably better than the version issued by MCA Records in 1988. AP has issued the Crickets LP as well, and it is not far behind. As for... | |
| Owning Up To It @waytoomuchstuff: I just saw/heard NRBQ live, and Terry Adams remains an amazing keyboardist. He is a very physical player, pounding the keys (electric piano and clavichord, organ) like Little Richard and/or Jerry Lee Lewis, but with the influence... | |
| MoFi controversy @rauliruegas: Yes, direct-to-disc LP's (for you youngins, no tape recorder of any kind is employed, analogue or digital. The output of the microphone mixing console goes straight to the lathe cutting the lacquer) remain the by-a-wide-margin most-a... |
