What's your favorite MFSL
Edgar Winter's White Trash! A great album, and the MOFI really sounded better than I remembered it (and I listened to this one a lot!). 
Who Are the Best Young Lions of Jazz Today?
Dafnis Prieto! One of the greatest drummers EVER! 
Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music?
At 56 yrs old, BEP is not the popular music of my generation, that said, I have their last 2 records and while all of it doesn't floor me, I dig a lot of it. Not to mention, from an AUDIO point of view, the music sounds great!! Imma be listenin' t... 
As system improves, do bad recordings sound worse?
"If it gets better at resolving details, should it not be more pleasing?" Yes, IF the recording is a good one, and I don't mean 'audiophile' good. I don't know how old you are, but when I was younger AM radio used to be a main source of music. Muc... 
As system improves, do bad recordings sound worse?
Sometimes the opposite!! I found over the yrs that as the quality of my rig improved, recordings that I used to enjoy started sounding worse. Makes sense as the better yr system gets at resolving details from the recording, the more revealing it i...

Buy LED, LCD or Plasma
Questions for plasma-owners: 1) I've read that Gov. Ah-nold was contemplating banning the sale of Plasmas in California due to their power consumption, thoughts? 2) I've also read Plasmas don't do well long-term, any long-time Plasma owners experi... 
Haiti Telethon
My favorites were the R&B Divas; Mary J. Blige, Beyonce, & Jennifer Hudson. From an Audio POV, did anybody else (besides me;) flip thru the channels to see which sounded best? Oddly enough, there were definitely audible differences and on ... 
Live infectious funk jams....quality recordings
Also, Lydia Pense & Cold Blood recorded 'Transfusion' in 2005, I found it in a used CD shop, and sounds as greasy as ever! Websites on the CD are listed as www.digmusic.com & www.coldblood.biz 
Live infectious funk jams....quality recordings
Came across this old thread (again!) and coincidentally, I'm listening to Donny Hathaway's "Live" playing 'Everything is Everything'. Willie Weeks (the great) is playin' the famous bass solo and the crowd's goin' ape! You should enjoy the David Ga... 
The best acoustic guitar recordings??
Doc & Merle Watson - Pickin' The Blues 
Looking for a good Stevie Wonder CD
Stevie the Wonder man!! Been listening to Stevie my whole life. What's striking to me is the realization that if he were a new artist starting out today, he probably wouldn't get very far. I think the same could be said for so many of the greats. ...
