| Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass. I returned home this afternoon from a nice week on the Oregon coast. As I downed a few glasses of whiskey on the rocks I caught up with a bunch of my fave YouTube video posters, including Bobby Whitlock and CoCo Carmel (she tapes and asks question... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! The Kind Of Blue speed error (side one only) was discovered by Bernie Grundman when he did the remastering of the album for Classic Records in 1997. The speed error was very small, resulting in only a 1/4-tone shift in pitch. By the way, the metal... | |
| Best music in 2021 Looking forward to hearing Southern Soul @slaw. Gonna pick up it and Rodney Crowell's new one this weekend. Haven't yet decided which version of All Things Must Pass to get. | |
| Townshend platforms vs SRA platforms @mglik: IsoAcoustics uses rubber as the isolation material in all their footers, Townshend does NOT. The rubber sleeve into which the Townshend spring is installed is not employed in an isolation function, but as a very clever means of creating a ... | |
| Rodney Crowell's new album Triage Right you are @rpeluso. The book is a sort of companion piece to the Houston Kid album. He toured in support of the album, playing the Roxy Theater in Hollywood. The club was filled with other songwriters and singers, and the hippest musicians in ... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report The Houston Kid by Rodney Crowell, one of my very favorite albums. All killer, no filler! Guest appearance by Johnny Cash, Rodney's one-time father-in-law. | |
| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? @iconicaudio: Townshend’s U.S.A. distributor is not only not very responsive, he doesn’t seem to know much about the Seismic products, or exhibit any interest in promoting them. After speaking with him a few times, I first looked at buying from on... | |
| Rodney Crowell's new album Triage Rodney is one of the most consistent artists working right now. Great songwriter and singer, great taste in accompanying musicians. I wish his autobiographic masterpiece The Houston Kid would be issued on LP. A perfect album, in my Top10 of all ti... | |
| Magnepan, Best midrange? Magnepan’s are a very well known loudspeaker. Perhaps the OP is on the young side (his vocabulary suggests that such is the case ;-) .I got my first pair in 1973, the original 3-panel Tympani T-I. Looking for more transparency (the T-I was somewha... | |
| WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST? "God Only Knows". Written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher, sung by The Beach Boys; Carl Wilson the melody, the others the harmonies in the choruses and the lovely counterpoint at the song’s conclusion and fade-out. The vocals and orchestration tend... | |
| What Amplifiers Have You Heard In Your System and What Amplifiers Will You Always Keep All three of my Music Reference: RM-9 Mk.2, RM-10 Mk.2, and RM-200 Mk.2. | |
| Oscar Peterson Performance 1983 Live in Tokyo I too watched that Beato video, just yesterday. Not just technically ridiculous, but musically delicious as well. Pass and Pederson provide tasty accompaniment, but I wish there were a drummer to provide punctuation and to deepen the swing the thr... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Agreed, @onhwy61. Though he and his band are not amongst my favorites, he and they certainly had a very long and artistically and commercially successful run. Good for them. I also like that Tom stood up to his record company when they were intend... | |
| Which Audio Research gears are classics? Amongst the pre-amps, the SP-3, -6, -8, -10, and -14 are particular favorites (I have owned the 3 and 6b, as well as LS-1 and -2). In power amps it is the D79. I have owned a D51 and D75, and much prefer the Music Reference RM-9 MK.2, which is ava... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: So I’m watching A Bronx Tale, and in one scene "99 And A Half (Won’t Do)" comes on the radio. I am instantly reminded that the studio band backing Wilson Pickett on the song---known as The Swampers---are just unbelievably, stupendously great. Toug... |
