| Done buying new vinyl "all (?) modern source material being digitally recorded/mastered". The "(?)" is well-deserved. Who says "all" modern source material is digitally recorded/mastered? | |
| Did you know....? The Beach Boys are pictured wearing Pendleton shirts on the cover of their 1st album, Surfin' Safari. The shirt was popular with surfers and surfer-wanna-be's at the time, which was a factor in them choosing that as their name. | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Well audiozen, Clapton and George Harrison were very close, so Eric may in fact have played on another White Album song. But he talked about how amazed he was that George invited him along to a session one day, and how "wrong" it felt to be playin... | |
| What do you listen to when no one else can hear it Steve Earle quipped that Shania Twain was the highest paid lap dancer in Nashville. Good one, Steve! I fully understand why he feels that way, and share with him a distain for the high-gloss, "fake" Country music that gets promoted. In spite of th... | |
| Done buying new vinyl This is why guys like Michael Fremer are so valuable---he regularly reports on the sound of new pressings, of albums both new and old. On new pressings of re-issued old albums, he often compares the new pressing to an original, when possible. Of c... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers That is indeed Clapton on "WMGGW", but not on "Yer Blues". However, Clapton DID play guitar on the song when Lennon performed it in The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus live show.An interesting Beatles song, guitar-credit wise, is "The End". Th... | |
| NOS tubes Tim deParavicini (EAR-Yoshino) told me old tubes are better because the people making them did so as a career, with a lot of experience under their belts before they were promoted to the position of making them. To the people making them today, do... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Excellent nomination of Jim Karstein, shadorne. I'm impressed! Others of his ilk (supremely musical, therefore unknown to most) include Jim Christie (Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam), David Kemper (T Bone Burnett), Don Heffington (Emmylou Harris, ... | |
| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD I hear ya Steve. It happens to every generation, but I have to say the boomer generation (to which I belong, as did Petty) for some reason thought it was the exception to the rule---a Peter Pan fantasy.While living in L.A., I met and became acquai... | |
| Just an outlet for music lyrics that have meaning to you at the moment... In light of Tom Petty’s death,"No matter how I struggle and strive, I’ll never get out of this world alive". From the pen of hillbilly genius Hank Williams. | |
| After a (weeks) worth of listening... slaw & reubent, I feel safe in guessing you both know that Little Village were first together on John Hiatt's Bring The Family album. It's now available on a Mobile Fidelity LP, and is actually better music imo than their s/t album (Ry Cooder ... | |
| Too Much Music: A Failed Experiment In Dedicated Listening Good post, whart. It DOES feel like a race to me, hearing everything I want before the clock runs out. Not to the point of being distracted from enjoying and/or appreciating as I listen, but to the point of not squandering my precious time on musi... | |
| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD Exactly my thoughts, jmc. As a 14-15 year old, I watched in growing horror as my Mother was ravaged by brain cancer. I've lived my life with the knowledge of my (and everyone else's) imminent demise very much in mind, and now that I'm approaching ... | |
| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD At Petty’s age (same as mine), I assumed he was, like so many of us (though not me), just a pothead. But he had hurt his hip either just before or just as the tour was starting, and didn’t want to cancel. It was viewed as his Farewell Tour, and he... | |
| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD Right pops, as it is no doubt a large source of income for them. |
