| Greatest Rock Drummers For those interested in discovering the unique, unusual, and even odd (and I mean that as a compliment) bass playing of the aforementioned Rick Danko of The Band, give a listen to "Chest Fever" and "We Can Talk" on the Music From Big Pink album, a... | |
| Tune of the Day Sheryl Crow: "Shotgun" (NOT the Jr. Walker & The Allstars song, also a great one! Even better is their "Roadrunner"). | |
| First investment into a turntable Great suggestion tomcarr, though I doubt one can be had for the op’s $200-$300 target price. I too had one, fitted with a Rega RB300. Replaced that with a VPI HW-19, a very different table. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report The Flamin' Groovies: Shake Some Action (produced by Dave Edmunds); Dave Edmunds: Get It; Marshall Crenshaw: #447; The Everly Brothers: 24 Original Classics; Nick Lowe: The Convincer; v/a: True Faith (Mojo Magazine bonus CD included with the Decem... | |
| Who do you like for equipment mods? Rick Schultz at EVS (Electronic Visionary Systems) is a controversial, adventurous modifier. Frank Van Alstine is a more traditional engineer, with a solid ee background and education. I don't know if he is still offering his Dynaco mods, but they... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers johnto---actually, I did mention Jim Gordon, in a post a couple of days ago (it reads "Jim’s Gordon and Keltner"---my way of saying Jim Gordon and Jim Keltner). I love his playing, and his cymbals were as good sounding as I’ve ever heard, as were ... | |
| The Jadis JA200Mk2 review---or slam! I likewise don't cotton to Art Dudley’s use of Altec Lansing Valencia speakers to audition other components. He is, I'm sure, aware that to do so would be found questionable by some, but is, as always, secure in his decision to do so regardless. | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Ya beat me to it, lowrider57! About Ringo being a musical drummer, that is. There’s a saying in the Christian faith, that you can’t serve two masters. A drummer can approach a song and choose to play it in one of two ways: either in a way to make ... | |
| Tune of the Day New Zealand?! I definitely did not know that. I remember Split Enz were from someplace unusual, though. As common for an American, I have no idea where New Zealand is, but it's gotta be down under, as they say. | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers jond’s nomination of Jim Keltner (of which I heartily approve and second) begs the question: what constitutes a "Rock" drummer? Before Keltner starting playing in The Playboys (Gary Lewis’ backing band) in the mid-60’s, he was, in his own words, a... | |
| Tune of the Day Oh yeah gh, an Aussie! The drummer/singer of Crowded House committing suicide was a real shame. | |
| Why does all new pop music sound the same? Oh man slaw, Jellyfish. They were INSANELY great! Two fantastic albums, and live they were superb. | |
| What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago? Yup, noromance, next time the SG get's retipped it's gonna be with a Pratracer. I know London cartridge builder John Wright is very much in favour of that stylus. | |
| Tune of the Day Neil Finn gets taken for granted as a songwriter. To me he is sort of the British (or is Neil Welsh, Irish, or Scottish?) Marshall Crenshaw---great chord sequences (employing chords lesser songwriters aren’t even aware exist), melodies, harmonies,... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Speaking of famous drummers with famous drummer dads---Zak Starkey, while no Keith Moon (who is?!), is doing a great job in The Who. |
