Best Songs To Sing In The Car To Embarrass Your Kids
"Gloria" is a great choice, but I think I'd go for Van Morrison with Them.No Hermans, though. Zappa is an interesting choice. I might try that if I knew the words. How about "Electric Aunt Jemima"? 
After a (weeks) worth of listening...
Last week, I started playing "Fathom This" by the Fathoms. I hadn't played it in a long time and I had forgotten how good it was. I've now played it 4 times in about 5 days, great sax, and of course, the fantastic guitar work of Frankie Blandino!I... 
My Fisher XP66c Speakers Went To The Dump Today
These were XP66c. I don't know whether the "c" means ceramic magnets or maybe they were just the 4th iteration or tweak to the original 66. But they were better than "firewood".I don’t think I would have kept them all those years if they were that... 
My Fisher XP66c Speakers Went To The Dump Today
No, I couldn't.  Goodwill won't take electronics. Even an ad on LetGo got no responses. Ditto Craigslist for $20. Nobody wants big speakers - though these aren't that big. They all want tall, skinny, home theater types.Either that or they're high-... 
My Fisher XP66c Speakers Went To The Dump Today
After all these years, I finally get around to Googling them. Vintage 1973, according to Radiomuseum. Can't find the original price, but I found the spec sheet in German. And then there's this Youtube, where they really, really sound awful.https:/...

For some reason, I am doubting that you actually heard these speakers. Unless maybe you are Dennis Rodman.

The driver array is mounted in some kind of horn structure, like a Tractrix, and it reminds me of old cinema setups. Then multiple units are spread out over hundreds of feet, maybe miles.Are the drivers 15"? Full range or coaxial? I can't tell. Th...

Tune of the Day
Gerald Wilson - "Lotus Land" was today's tune.But in keeping with the spirit of the thread, yesterday I listened to "Elementals" in the car, on cassette! no less. Sort of a lo-fi experience.  
Over time, with playing constant playing, do vinyl records wear out?
Yes, records will wear. The heavier the stylus force, the more wear, too. But it's gotta have enough force to track.If you listen carefully to the cymbals, you may notice a reduction in volume after 30-40 plays. After 100, it's definitely noticeab... 
Long lost songs
@dweller - the version you are looking for may be the "live" verion from "Got Live If You Want It", which was supposedly all "live", but now they tell us had some alternate studio tracks with dubbed applause. If I remember, the pace was way faster... 
What are you favorite artists and songs to listen to on your system?
My memory may have slipped, but I think it's "Songs for a Tailor", dedicated to Richard Thompson's girlfriend, Jeannie Franklyn, who was killed when the Fairport Convention bus crashed in 1969.It's a great album.

There's a good reason to take cruise. Nu-surf and old surf on the same bill. Did they play with each other or just separately? That would be awesome to see them jam together.
