| Rory Gallagher Original Album Classics That Straightdope thread was a good one, gh, I enjoyed it a lot. Lot's of good nominees, though kind of heavy on soloing rather than music making, but that's to be expected when guitarists or non-musicians list guitarists. Players known for their ... | |
| Bob Dylan MoFi Slaw, Time Out of Mind is pretty amazing---"Not Dark Yet" absolutely hypnotic. But the sound is sooo bad (on CD, at least), like it’s coming from the bottom of a well. Musically, Lanois was after something Dylan didn’t particularly care for (he br... | |
| Rory Gallagher Original Album Classics Jimi didn’t live long enough to hear the "best" guitarist(ask Les Paul if you don’t believe me ;-), Danny Gatton. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Loomis---I'm with you on Sam Phillips. I didn't know she had been with Sutliff, a great music-maker from the N. Carolina scene, iirc. She has excellent taste in men, T-Bone now being an ex as well. I saw her at The Roxy in the late 90's, with T-Bo... | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Big Mama Thornton, Wanda Jackson, Victoria Williams, Lene Lovich, Kate Bush, Loretta Lynn, Iris Dement, Aretha Franklin. | |
| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever Jesse Colter in her prime (pre-perm). She was Waylon Jennings wife, but had a career of her own. Rilly purty. | |
| Bob Dylan MoFi Slaw, your mention of the sound of Oh Mercy on LP has reminded of the fact that by the time that album came out, I was of the opinion that since LP's were in all probability being mastered from a digital source, there was no point in getting the L... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS I have no idea Geoff, and I am not questioning the claims of those who say they hear a difference. What I am doing is asking in all seriousness (snarking aside) how it is a fuse can possibly be directional while operating in an AC circuit. It is m... | |
| Best Ways to Organize a Classical Record LP Collection ? Ooh ct, Trevor Pinnock is one of my favorite performers. I have a bunch by him; if you ever see any of his CRD LP's (UK label), get 'em. Lots of solo harpsichord of Bach, Scarlatti, etc. in incredibly high sound quality recordings. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Man, you guys are talking my language! Lots of great people listed here, particularly Don Dixon and Marti Jones, whom I love. I view Buddy and Julie Miller as the new Don & Marti---great songs, singing, playing, and production. Their music mak... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Now Geoff, could I ask you to explain how a fuse in an AC circuit can be directional? AC, you know, for Alternating Current. Ralph Karsten must have skipped that chapter in his electronics engineering books. Of course, perhaps they weren't "New Ag... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Good points Al. The only thing I would ad is that I myself am not comfortable installing fuses designed by someone unfamiliar with the concept of breaking capacity into my $5000 amplifier, and I am glad Roger brought the information about the Hi-F... | |
| Esoteric DV60 Actually, the word is the DV60 is actually inferior to the DV50s, as it's power supply, etc. was cheapened. | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Sheesh! There are only two issues I myself addressed:1- The claim of fuse directionality in an AC circuit is, as Ralph Karsten keeps saying, simply impossible. Of that there can be no dispute. None.2- In the case of, yes Joe, one amplifier being d... | |
| RIP Merle Harggard There's a video on You Tube of Merle and Willie in the studio recording the song "The World's Going to Pot". They're proving it by passing a joint back and forth as they overdub their vocals. |
