| Isoacoustics don’t seem to work for me, help A second on the Townshend Audio Seismic Podium. If the cost takes away your breathe, buying individual Pods and using them under a good platform (perhaps one layer of Baltic Birch plywood, one of Slate, with constrained layer damping---such as Aco... | |
| New In 2021 Yeah @thepigdog, drums aren’t employed in hardcore Bluegrass music and bands. The mandolin player provides the 2/4 backbeat by playing accented staccato downward strokes in place of a snare drum. I’m real glad Marty Stuart breaks that rule, having... | |
| TONE @edcyn: Small world; the Guitar Center in Sherman Oaks was only a 1/4 mile from the apartment I lived in during the 90's, and I was in there pretty regularly.The SM58 is the industry standard mic for live vocals, but not for recording them. The Te... | |
| New In 2021 Now THAT should be interesting @jafant! I didn't much care for Joan Osborne's Dylan-song album, but Maria Muldaur's Heart Of Mine is pretty goodGraham Nash quit The Hollies after unsuccessfully attempting to talk them out of doing an album of all ... | |
| Analogue Productions announces May 21st release of ultimate Kind Of Blue LP @jafant: Sounds like Kind Of Blue is to you what The Band’s s/t (brown) album is to me, or Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks’ Smile album---even in it’s uncompleted, aborted form. I have a half dozen copies of each, Smile on bootleg LP’s before the ... | |
| Analogue Productions announces May 21st release of ultimate Kind Of Blue LP Aw geez @jafant, your forcing me to admit in public I have never owned any copy of Kind Of Blue. ;-) I don't relate much to Jazz, nor do I understand it. There, I said it! I mean, I DO like Mose Allison, Count Basie, and Duke Ellington, but that J... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Today’s catch, all from my two neighborhood shops:- Ian & Sylvia: Greatest Hits (Vanguard, 2-LP set). $9. Includes the Ian Tyson song Neil Young talks about in Johnathan Demme’s documentary film about Neil, Heart Of Gold, entitled "Four Strong... | |

| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? Yeah @slaw, emerging in the 1990’s, almost all of her stuff is CD only. Craft Recordings or Analogue Productions should do an Iris boxset! The only LP I have is a promo-only white-label/white cover copy of The Way I Should, sent to radio station p... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? @tonykay: If you like My Life (WARNING! It is pretty hardcore purist Bluegrass), get her debut album Infamous Angel next. "Let The Mystery Be", "Our Town" (another tear-jerker), and "Mama’s Opry" are highlights, but every song is 1st-class.For you... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? @jdoris: "Wasteland Of The Free" is fantastic! Iris received a lot of backlash for that blistering critique of the Neo-Cons pushing the Iraq war, and for painting the Conservative movement itself as hypocritical. That cost her some listeners among... | |
| Best live albums from 1970's college days The OP specified "multi-LP" live albums, yet most suggested here are single-LP albums. 1975's Frampton Comes Alive made multi-LP live albums more commonplace, very few previously having been recorded and released. Of those that were, my faves are ... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? One thing I neglected to mention is the sense of humor Iris is in possession of---revealed in her live show, often of a self-deprecating nature.When she opens her mouth, the music just pours out, effortlessly. I've never seen or heard anything lik... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? @tonykay, I would start with her second album, My Life. I took that album with me to the Winter CES in Vegas in the mid-90's, and had Jerry Crosby play it on his modified Quad 63 ESL's. I soon regretted it, as I was in tears before "No Time To Cry... | |
