| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. The brown album contains more of what we think of as The Band "sound" and style. I complete understand preferring it to MFBP (I myself did for years), but the point of this thread is to celebrate the impact MFBP had on the musical community in 196... | |
| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? Mike Clifford: "I’m So Close To Cathy". I can picture my then-girlfriend and I slow dancing to this song in 1963 or 4. If you remember this song, you are old! | |
| Best best ballads that refer to a US State - Asleep At The Wheel: "Miles And Miles Of Texas".- Dave Edmunds: "Deep In The Heart Of Texas".Neither the original of each song, but the first ones I heard.- Lyle Lovett: "That's Right (You're Not From Texas)". | |
| Turntable mat journey Fair enough, @sokogear. Roy Gandy designs his Rega products in a holistic manner, which no doubt accounts for your preference for the sound of the table with it’s stock mat.Is it the matter of static with the stock mat that is the problem? Felt is... | |
| Turntable mat journey If you’re not a Rega purist, there is another option: replace the stock platter with the Delrin one made by the Groovetracer company. Delrin is an excellent platter material (research will reward you with the answer to why that is so), and require... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? Maria McKee is sort of her generation’s Linda Ronstadt; she has a great set of pipes, and can really belt it out. I saw and heard her live when she was in Lone Justice, an L.A. band that was part of the "Cowpunk" scene in the 1980’s. Another band ... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? It's interesting how people of faith seem to veer either hard left or hard right. And both are so convinced they're correct.I know one pretty good guitarist/pianist who is Libertarian, and interestingly has been a Scientologist since I first met h... | |
| Analogue Productions announces May 21st release of ultimate Kind Of Blue LP @sbank: Your anxiety is understandable! I just looked on the Acoustic Sounds website, and, sure enough, it is still possible to order a copy of KOB. If the album is sold out, why would they allow another copy to be ordered? Makes no sense!However,... | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning The Vinyl Stack ULTRA Sonic Spin Kit (it's full name) has arrived. All the parts are very well made, a high quality product. And the 6L/50kHz Vevor tank is on it's way. That'll have to do until the Vibrato 135kHz tank is again available. Now I got... | |
| New In 2021 Yep @jafant, there are a couple I missed: Elvis and Moby Grape.I got to see and hear some of the old guys before they died, like Albert King and Big Joe Turner (his band that night were The Blasters. Dave Alvin was still in the band, and blowing t... | |
| No Direction Home, Dylan documentary by Martin Scorsese. Damn, 80 years old. Of course some people live to be 100, but not often in the music biz. On the road at 80 years old---brutal! Though he stays in nice hotels, has a crew to do all the heavy lifting, etc., performing under hot lights for an hour o... | |
| Isoacoustics don’t seem to work for me, help If you're going to be in this room for an extended length of time, removing the carpeting is an option, if an extreme one. ;-) | |
| New In 2021 @thepigdog: Right you are. Some of Jerry’s albums are what I call Progressive Bluegrass---mostly instrumental, all the musicians of virtuoso caliber, the playing very Jazz influenced. I saw him and his band live a few years back in Portland, and t... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? Iris and Levon Helm, both from Arkansas, and both fave music makers of mine. Iris' family relocated to Orange County, California when she was still a child, but remained in the Pentecostal Church I believe. | |
| What is your favorite album cover? For an album cover that is a spot-on visual representation of the music contained in the LP or CD, nothing beats The Band's s/t "brown" album.Before that, I always liked the cover of The Beatles' Rubber Soul. Have you noticed their name is nowhere... |
