| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? I am of an age that allowed me to see some artists & bands live that many of you would loved to have seen and heard, but that now are just not that valued by myself:- Jimi Hendrix at Winterland, ’68 and ’69. First time great, second time tired... | |
| During this isolation, I would be interested in suggestions of great movies you like. Real good one @r_f_sayles. Wings Of Desire is, amongst other things, one of the most beautiful looking films ever made, breathtakingly so.The Black & White cinematography in the Coen Brothers The Man Who Wasn't There (starring Billy Bob Thornt... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? When I want black, I go with (of course) Aretha, Ruth Brown, and Irma Thomas. I gotta admit though, Annie Lennox’s vocals on "Would I Lie To You" is about as good as can be expected of a white UK woman ;-) . I love the song; even Blondie drummer C... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, one of The Secret Sisters' albums was produced by T Bone Burnett, their debut I believe. I would taste that one first (assuming it's available as an LP ;-) . | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601---Jim, this might interest you: The bassist on the backwaters album---Todd Phillips---and I were in the same band in '71, he leaving just as I was entering. He had decided to learn to play mandolin, and had arranged to study with David G... | |
| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? I have a friend who saw The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band live at The Fillmore in ’69. Member Roger Ruskin Spear (how’s that for a name?!) was a sculpturer and electronic tinkerer, and had made a robot in very human form. He brought it along on that USA ... | |
| Anyone Tried Bybee's "Quantum Clarifier"'s Inside Your Speakers? Jack Bybee just died recently. I doubt anyone is interested in keeping the Quantum Clarifier available. Unless GK? ;-) | |
| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? Anyone who was fortunate enough to have seen NRBQ when Al Anderson was in the band will tell you what a great live band they were. Even better than their records, which are pretty damn great.A favorite of Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, a... | |
| Guilty pleasures? A new version of an old question...Dark Side... The Dave Clark Five. The Beatles, The Stones, and they were the first and biggest of the British Invasion groups (we didn't call them bands back then. Bands were what backed singers, groups were self-contained musical ensembles. That had changed b... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, if a CD is okay, pm me your mailing info (unless Jim wants it ;-) . | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601, sure man! Need a CD copy of The Secret Sisters' You Don't Own Me Anymore or Jason Isbell's The Nashville Sound? Though liked by some of ya'll, neither rang my bell. | |
| DSpeaker Antimode 2.0 or 2 more Subs? If you go with the Antimode, don't worry about the a-d-a conversion: used only with sub(s), you won't hear it (80Hz and below). | |
| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? Oh, and The Beat (Paul Collins, not the UK band) at The Whiskey in late '79. THE Best Power Pop band I've ever seen live, including Cheap Trick and The Who. Their debut album is really, really good.Billy Swan told me he saw Elvis, Scotty, & Bi... | |
| This is subjective, but what has been the best sounding SACD you have had? The Band s/t on Mobile Fidelity, Bob Dylan & The Band Planet Waves on same. | |
| Guilty pleasures? A new version of an old question...Dark Side... I know Del Shannon isn’t held in high regard amongst Rockers, but Tom Petty liked him enough to produce his 1982 album Drop Down And Get Me. As for The DC5, they rocked much harder than did The Beatles. I have and love four of their albums.Another... |
