| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature Apparently inna you don't hear what others (including his peers) do in Dylan. He's not for everyone ;-). | |
| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature An Audiogon member praises the, say, Audio Research pre-amp he owns, saying it in his opinion is the "best" pre-amp in the world. Do you ask him to convince you that such is the case or to explain why he thinks so, or do you listen for yourself, c... | |
| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature A Facebook friend today posted a video of Marshall Crenshaw doing a killer version of "My Back Pages". It's on a compilation entitled Bleecker Street, and Marshall's take on the Dylan song is imo even better than is The Byrds', if you can believe ... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. I'm going to assume the original Quad ESL is not amongst those considered "really not very neutral". That would be quite silly. | |

| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature I don’t understand people who want others to do the heavy lifting for them. Listen for yourself; if you don’t get it, you don’t get it, no shame in that. Allen Ginsberg did, Sam Shepard did, John Lennon did, as did Bruce Springsteen and countless ... | |
| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature Simon's lyrics are of the "pretty poetry" type. Dylan's are profound, if you "get" them. ;-) | |

| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature Allen Ginsburg, upon hearing Dylan in 1962, was reduced to tears. He said he knew the torch had been passed from his generation to the next. Dylan single-handedly changed the world, not least of all by transforming John Lennon, who pre-Dylan was m... | |
| Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time One of my favorite bands, AC/DC, hires one of the all-time worst "singers". Damnit! | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Last Friday, Jerry Douglas in Portland Oregon. There are two main strains in Bluegrass---Traditional, and Progressive. Jerry as a sideman (Alison Krauss, Iris Dement, Dolly Parton, hundreds of others) is involved in the Traditional wing. As a solo... | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You Workingman's Dead is a classic, no doubt. When I heard it, it too sounded like it was at least in part inspired by the second Band album. The songs, the harmonies, the country feel. The Band and The Dead (as well as Janis Joplin & Big Brother)... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. A real nice tube amp for ESL’s is the Music Reference RM-200 Mk.2, designed and built by Roger Modjeski, an amp maker who is also an ESL speaker expert. Roger currently makes his own ESL’s, and was involved in the design of the legendary Beveridge... |
