Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS
This is pretty coincidental. I received a package today. I wasn't home so I don't know if it was UPS or FedEx. It was addressed to my next door neighbor. The package was from Amazon. I received an email saying my package from T-Mobile, which I was...

bkeske...My point is that the conditions and needs of the country in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were much different than we face today in an industrialized country of roughly 330 million people. Certainly, many of the ideas expressed...

bkeske...You chat with a few people in Germany who complain about DHL? Not a very large survey sample is it? Ever hear of heresay? Also, many economists do point to the pension requirements as unnecessarily hampering the Post Office's ability to b...

jadam..."let's keep politics out of the audio conversation. We can go absolutely everywhere else to hear liberals complain".Do you see a problem here? 
I love sad music
newbee...Irish music is a good example of the beauty that can be inspired by tragedy and hard times. The history of the Great Potato Famine will break your heart, especially because it didn't have to happen. 
I love sad music
One of my goals when I started this thread was to get people to share their feelings about why they turn to sad or melancholic music and what effect it has on them. While the anonymity afforded by forums such as these is often used for personal at...

rvpiano...I have it, but I've never listened to it. I will change that tonight.

teo-audio...People who can self-reflect and not feel some sadness are truly blessed, or just not being honest. In my opinion. 
Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market?
mapman...You nailed it. I have never understood why some people feel their rights are being infringed because it's no longer considered appropriate to willfully insult other people. You haven't lost anything by being considerate of other people's ...

twoleftears...A Cohen fan. I was starting to think I was the only one. He was an incredibly interesting person which his lyrics clearly show. I mentioned "Alexandra Leaving" in my original post. It's a beautiful song that has multiple possible int... 
McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
Sorry you "nattering nabobs of negativism," but fuses do make a difference. Most of that other stuff people are pushing are just snake oil in my opinion. I put SR Blues in my ARC CD player and Krell integrated and the difference was significant an... 
I love sad music
rpeluso...Your message to roxy54 got me curious so I looked up "Lather". Brought back memories, some of which were quite illegal at the time. Also made me think of one of the band members Kaukonen? who later wrote "Genesis" which I would add to my...

I love sad music
rafevw...YES!! There are times on these forums when everyone comes together to contribute in a positive way (well, in this case a depressing way) and it feels good. It restores my faith in humanity. I used to tell my kids that people are just look... 
I love sad music
I'm probably going to have to start a thread on the happiest music ever recorded to recover from all these sad suggestions. This appeal of mine to music that more accurately reflects life also applies to movies. I detest Hollywood feel good movies...
