| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601: Me too! Rock Of Ages is I believe my favorite live Rock ’n’ Roll album, along with their collaboration with Dylan on Before The Flood (I have a Capitol original, waiting for the MoFi repress). Until then, do you know about the expanded ... | |
| Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears Speaking of Lucinda, I adore her song "West", which ends the album of the same title. Another of hers that chokes me up is on the same album: "Are You Alright?". Lucinda is the queen of melancholia. Have to remind everyone of Ray Davies' masterpi... | |
| Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears The nomination of "Our Town" by @waltersalas is a great one. I’ll add her devastating song "No Time To Cry" (also done by Merle Haggard). Then there is Brian Wilson’s "God Only Knows", as good as songwriting gets, with wonderful singing by his bro... | |
| How to fuse bypass in Magnepan 1.7i The problem with jumpers---no matter how good---is that the signal still passes through steel parts and junk wire. | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? I just watched the David Leaf film Beautiful Dreamer-Brian Wilson And The Story Of Smile. To establish the context for the creation of the amazing Smile album (a subject for another time), Leaf covers Pet Sounds, the album that proceeded Smile. Qu... | |
| Two of the most powerful words ever - "You're fired" - "Wanna bl*wj*b?" | |
| How to fuse bypass in Magnepan 1.7i The Magnepan fuse block contains ferrous (steel!) parts, a terrible idea. Maggies can absorb a lot of power with little chance of damage, except for their fantastic ribbon tweeter (found in the current MG3.7a, 20.7a, and 30.7). I just by-passed t... | |
| Most highly anticipated LP reissues on 2022? Excellent point @bigtwin. I was late to the Prine party, but John immediately saw in Iris what we (including Merle Haggard, from whom I learned of Iris) all did. I’ve seen Iris live thrice (gettin’ above my raisin’ here ;-), amongst my most cheri... | |
| Most highly anticipated LP reissues on 2022? I don't begrudge Garth Brooks (or Shania Twain for that matter) his (and her) success; good for him (and her). But knowing how the music business works, and as a music consumer and serious lover of Hard Country, the success of entertainers like Ga... | |
| Most highly anticipated LP reissues on 2022? @rpeluso: But it’s okay to mock Eno? ;-) I actually left out the snark I was tempted to direct at a very famous late-60’s/70’s Rock Star who has reinvented himself as an Americana singer (in the 80’s he was pretending to be a Jump Blues singer. Ha... | |
| New In 2021 @jafant: Yeah, if uDiscover ever ships it. I received notice my copy of the Cahoots boxset had been given a shipping label on Dec.9th, and given its tracking number, 9 days ago. Street date was the 10th, so I figured it would be on its way that da... | |
| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. I always found the difference in sound character between Rubber Soul (1965) and Revolver (1966) dramatic---very, very different. I later read that Abbey Road switched from tubes to transistors between the recording of those two LP’s. Who knows if ... | |
| Brian Eno's Turntable Design @larsman: Or my taste for that matter! As my mama useta say: Each to his own, said the lady as she kissed the cow. What irks me about guys like Eno taking up space in music publications, record store shelves, radio broadcasts, and enthusiast disc... | |
| Brian Eno's Turntable Design @clio09: And Dudley and I aren't alone. Robbie Robertson went to hear The VU when he arrived in New York, and was not impressed. Whatta ya think Dylan thought of Reed? I think I know ;-) . | |
| Brian Eno's Turntable Design @larsman: Your exact original post (to which I was responding), not the amended one directly above: "Some guy says he has no idea who Eno is, but he's happy to describe his music as vapid, empty, and soulless....". Separating the single quote foun... |
