| What is your top sexy song? Dang @immathewj, another great one! In "Right In Time" Lu is very direct in her expressing her desires, ain’t she?! And hearing "Hot Blood" always brings me back to those early shows I saw, with Gurf Morlix on guitar, Donald Lindley on drums (... | |
| Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? Discovering J. Gordon Holt and his Stereophile magazine in 1972 changed my life. Bye bye Stereo Review and High Fidelity, but I kept reading Audio Magazine for it’s entire history. Gordon provided me with the basis tenants of high fidelity musi... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL The Finnish company Gradient made ob/dipole subs for both the QUAD ESL and QUAD 63 back in the 1980’s/90’s, but they were not built to perfectionist standards. They were somewhat similar to the ob/dipole woofer system Siegfried Linkwitz used in... | |
| What is your top sexy song? @immatthewj: Thanks for the reminder of Lucinda's "Essence", a fantastic pick. Her singing on the song is absolutely salacious (on the entire song, but especially when she sings "Please come find me and help me.....get f*cked up"), with lots of... | |
| Music with Titles that get you to think Dan Hicks’ "How Can I Miss You When You Won’t Go Away". Dan’s my favorite musical satirist, along with Randy Newman. The most cryptic lyricist in Rock music is unquestionably Van Dyke Parks. His debut album Song Cycle is an astounding piece... | |
| Music with Titles that get you to think @stuartk: Yep, Martha is Rufus’ mom. With Martha and Loudon being his parents, how could Rufus NOT become a singer? His recording of Leonard Cohen’s "Hallelujah" is my favorite, a masterpiece. | |
| What is your top sexy song? @jomace: "Baby Let Me Bang Your Box" made it to San Jose, California in 1964. The city had a record store with headphones hooked up to turntables, and my friends and I rode our bikes there everyday for a week just to hear that song. The 45 was ... | |
| Oldies that stick in your head... @robert53: Excellent suggestion! Also by Dave, his recording of "Queen Of Hearts". His is the original, far better imo than the cover by Juice Newton. And then there is Dave’s partner in Rockpile, Nick Lowe. You could name a couple dozen ear c... | |
| Music with Titles that get you to think As Jason corrected me in a message (the Audiogon system does now not let me replay without jumping through some hoops), it was his mama’s udders Rufus was suckling on, not her utters. First time I ever used the term. | |
| What is your top sexy song? - "It Ain’t The Meat (It’s The Motion)", the 1974 version by Maria Muldaur. - "I’m An Old Cowhand (From The Rio Grande)" (written by Johnny Mercer), by Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks, vocal by the sultry Maryann Price, one of my favorite singer... | |
| " the best Tweak ever in the entire audio industry" Yeah, I saw that video a coupla days ago. I gotta find out if my digital player (an Esoteric) has opamps that can be replaced with those in the video. | |
| Stand Mount Speakers for Classic Rock that sound alive at lower volumes ? The GR Research Brute or Bully models. | |
| Oldies that stick in your head... It's funny how Del Shannon's music is considered Oldies, but that of The Beatles isn't. They're both from the 1960's. Actually, Del was still recording into the early-1990's, with Jeff Lynne producing. I grew up buying 7" 45 RPM singles in the... | |
| Music with Titles that get you to think Garth Hudson’s "The Genetic Method". That’s what he named his long organ prelude to "Chest Fever" on The Band’s Rock Of Ages live album. Maybe not genius, but about as close as you can get to it in Rock ’n’ Roll. And then there is Loudon Wainw... | |
| A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing. @tomic601: Jim, Amy joined Levon for the tour he did when he was still recovering from throat surgery, therefor unable to sing. I got to hear her singing on the stage at The House Of Blues on Sunset Blvd. sometime in the first decade of this ce... |
