| A great singer you may have never heard, or even heard of. I consider myself very fortunate in having managed to see Big Joe Turner live at Club Lingerie on Sunset Blvd. shortly before his death in 1985. The Blasters provided Joe with musical accompaniment that night, with Lee Allen and Steve Berlin on... | |
| Congratulations to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings! @mofimadness: Ah, okay, then the Welch/Rawlings LP is not pressed using Clarity vinyl, but some other special formulation. I don't have a kitchen weight scale, but my copy of the LP is on the heavy side. | |
| Congratulations to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings! @winoguy17: And the vinyl is that translucent type (I believe it is named Clarity) used by MoFi and Analogue Productions, which when placed up to a light source you can barely see through. | |
| Congratulations to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings! Here’s a review of the album by a British audiophile. He’s rather long-winded (I should know ), but very enthusiastic: https://youtu.be/NS-KCPxBEhk?si=PaBQEoY5b6FFenGA | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Bridesmaids has some very funny scenes. | |
| LOOKING TO IMPROVE THE ACOUSTICS OF MY LISTENING ROOM Here's a video on the topic of the acoustic treatment of listening rooms that Danny Richie of GR Research posted on YouTube just yesterday: https://youtu.be/rKhcABvL7tc?si=NpH3zZ5TIdjXHFbD | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @pdspiegel's listing of Dwight Yoakam opening for Nick Lowe in 1983 reminded me that I saw the legendary songwriting team of Dann Penn and Spooner Oldham open for Nick and his band in the late-90's at The Pantages Theater on Hollywood Blvd., an... | |
| Progress at londondecca.com I'm just VERY glad I got my London's when I did. I fear the new ones are going to be far more expensive. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @grislybutter: I haven't seen Clooney in that many movies, but the only role I saw him really "sink his teeth into" was the one in O Brother, Where Art Thou?. In The American he displays no personality whatsoever. A very "flat" performance. But... | |
| A great singer you may have never heard, or even heard of. I’m surprised and pleased so many others are already aware of DeVille. I never managed to see him live, which is where you really get to know what someone is all about. Here’s a video of Mink DeVille’s studio recording of "Cadillac Walk" ... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. One little film I like is The American. George Clooney stars as a hitman, and though he isn't (imo) very good in the role, the movie is very interesting. I've watched it three times. | |
| Pure Silver Wire Clear Day solid silver "Shotgun" speaker cables sold for $500/pr in 8ft lengths, and found a receptive market. Unfortunately, CD owner/designer Paul Laudati passed away in 2019. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. I don't own this one, but have seen it twice and love it: Hereafter, starring Matt Damon as a true clairvoyant. I watched it not knowing it was directed by Clint Eastwood. Two other favorites by Eastwood are Unforgiven and Gran Torino. Two... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Doing the above list made me realize I have W.C. Fields’ It’s A Gift (my favorite of his) on Laserdisc but not DVD. Gotta correct that. | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? My London Super Gold w/Decapod is backup to my London Reference. Give me Decca/London or give me silence! I’ve been a Stylast user since it was put on the market. Last Factory owner/product developer Walter Davies was my first high end dealer,... |
