The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard
Alone Again (Naturally)  
Rock musicians with musical education.
Here's the thing, at least with respect to pop/rock music.  Music school can teach you certain stuff, like about playing your instrument and arranging.  But it can't teach creativity and inspiration.  The ones that have that, don't need music scho... 
If a " system " cannot do this, I move on........
Hey, this isn't that complicated.  If you like horn speakers, that just means you like what they do to the music.  I would note that almost no one who listens to music critically for commercial purposes does so on horn speakers. But you do, and ar...

Top ten American composers/songwriters
My lord, what a bunch of old fogies.  Anyone who has an ear on modern pop music, and certainly everyone in the music business, knows that Taylor Swift is the best songwriter of the last decade+.  Should be on any list of the best American songwrit... 
Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS.
You don't have to spend that kind of money to get going.  All the fuss about turntables is, in my opinion, tweaky and over blown.  It's a pretty basic function.  My suggestion would be you a Pioneer PLX-1000 turntable and one of the Hana cartridge... 
Why Does All Music Sound the Same; An Explanation
Quite a range of comments in this discussion.  I would just note that many of those objecting to the sound of modern pop music sound remarkably like their parents did in the 1950s and 60s--many of the complaints are in fact virtually identical ( t... 
... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD...
Unless she was playing in your living room, I'm pretty sure you've actually never heard Taylor Swift's voice without some degree of compression.  It's on all of her albums and live performances.  For example, if you go on YouTube, you'll find a wo... 
... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD...
Sure.  They're PMC twotwo.6's.  The brand was recommended to me by Glenn Meadows, a well-known mastering engineer in Nashville who mastered my daughter, Merritt Gibson's first album on some enormous PMCs in his studio. (Played me some Steely Dan, ... 
... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD...
Reputation is state of the art modern pop production.  Complaining about DR and compression in modern pop is like complaining that rock and roll has too much drumming--it comes with the territory and to varying degrees always has.  We love it, par... 
Paul is Done
Cheer up, fellas, I think he just said he was going to stop touring, not stop wring songs and making records.  And it's easy to imagine him doing the residency performance thing in the future. 
Tidal does not post the cost to buy a song or an album on their site
Good Lord, man, get with the program.  It isn't that hard.  Trolling, on the other hand, is easy.  On a broader level:  You never really owned the music.  The writer and publisher own the composition.  The label owns the master.  You never have mo... 
Greatest Rock Drummers
Among the old guys, Charlie Watts deserves more attention.  The Stones secret ingredient was Charlie's rock-solid snare.  And one of the coolest dudes ever.Among current drummers, one of the most interesting and imaginative is Bryan Devendorf with...
