| Best Drum Solos My nomination is not really a drum solo per se, but two little "breaks" played by Don Lamond, Woody Herman's drummer, in the Bobby Darin recording of "Beyond The Sea". Too cool for words! | |
| The Beach Boys Rich said a lot, the most important being that if one doesn’t hear "it", then one doesn’t hear it. Two who DID hear it in the music of Brian Wilson were Paul McCartney and Leonard Bernstein. Paul proclaimed Pet Sounds the best album ever made at t... | |
| Poorly Recorded - Chris Thile & Michael Daves I know nothing about this recording, but I saw Steve Earle with The Del McCoury Band at The House of Blues in Hollywood, and they performed into a single microphone. They were all playing acoustic instruments (guitars, upright bass, fiddle, mandol... | |
| 2016: a new year for music.... Hey Tostado, did you ever happen to see a guy named Paul Skelton play in Austin? He was a Telecaster/Deluxe Reverb player who worked with Wayne "The Train" Hancock, Cornell Hurd, Libbie Bosworth, and other Austin singers and songwriters. I was pla... | |
| What is the perferred material for a TT shelf? If your table is a non-suspended design: Two shelves of Baltic Birch Plywood separated by a slightly inflated bicycle inner tube, with the table sitting on three roller bearings arranged in an equilateral triangle. The most effective isolation sho... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? Just out of respect for Ralph Karsten, it's Atma-Sphere, not atmosphere. | |
| 2016: a new year for music.... When Brian's first solo album came out, I went to his in-store appearance at Tower Records on Sunset. I brought along my 45 of "Caroline No" for him to sign, which though on the Beach Boys Pet Sounds album was released as a Brian Wilson single. He... | |
| How many pair of speakers do you own? I love speakers, but they unfortunately take up the most space of all components (especially the planars I prefer), just as drums take up much more space than do guitars. I have a bunch of both drumsets and speakers, the latter being ESS TranStati... | |
| 2016: a new year for music.... Damn jafant, tonight didn't Lucinda look like the broad sitting on a stool alone at your local alki bar?! Another female singer who has that look is Austin's Lou Ann Barton, a favorite of mine. Lou Ann's on the wagon, last I heard. I saw her awhil... | |
| fuse damage I think installing a single fuse in, say, a pre-amp, would be worth the $50 price, even if it were not returnable. Installing eight of them in a power amp running eight output power tubes, at a cost of $400 (!), maybe not! But if one can audition ... | |
| Are Ohm-Walsh micros and 1000 series disrespected because of omni-directional design?? Right you are, Sunnyjim. Also gone is Band bassist/singer Rick Danko, who died in his sleep at home. Rick, Levon, and Richard were the three voices of The Band, who often passed around the melody of a song amongst themselves, singing different ver... | |
| Where R U????? After living in the San Fernando Valley (Burbank, Sherman Oaks, Glendale, Encino, Canoga Park) and finally in the Foothills just North thereof (Tujunga, onetime meth capitol of Southern California) since '79, I have just moved to Vancouver Washing... | |
| fuse damage Geoff (and anyone else who feels Modjeski’s views on the topics Geoff quoted renders his opinion of the Hi-Fi Tuning Fuses questionable, if not downright invalid), allow me to suggest that even if Roger is "wrong" about any other topic (as I feel ... | |
| Are Ohm-Walsh micros and 1000 series disrespected because of omni-directional design?? Sunnyjim---Bravo on your taste in music! The Band and the two songs mentioned are fantastic, but the album those songs are on (self titled---The Band, commonly referred to as the brown album) is actually their second, Music From Big Pink (containi... | |
| Just how great is Elvis Costello I loved his first album, which I bought as a British import upon it’s initial release. I then liked his second, but didn’t really care for The Attractions. Steve’s piano playing is far too busy for my taste (too many single notes and "tinkling", n... |
