| If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question 1. Build a spiff room.2. Try out lots of components in it/(build a great system).3. Go to Bimhuis, Vortex, Tonic, Knitting Factory... to get as much real musical opiate as possible. (sorta like Buscis except i'd go to the shows instead of having ... | |

| Jazz Big Band Recommendations? Some of this stuff may not fit everyones idea of what a big band is, but if there's more than 8 players and some jazz influences are apparent, it works for me. Anyway here are a few i'm hanging onto:Maarten Altena/QuotlKen Schaphorst Big Band/Purp... | |

| Victoriaville jazz fest, are you going??? The website is www.fimav.qc.ca. The festival runs from May 20-24. No performance schedule yet, but a Louis Sclavis site puts him there on 5/22 or 23. | |
| Victoriaville jazz fest, are you going??? Hi Opp, Hopefully, someone will come along w/ a better answer than this one since i haven't even been there once. Every year it's near the top of my wish list. Over the last few years alot of amazing musicians have played there; Fred Frith, Jean D... | |
| You used to love it but now....................... Hey Rwwear, You got me, can't ditch Force Majeure, Rubycon or some of the other 70's stuff. It really amazed me though how lame and pedestrian some of their later stuff seems now. | |
| You used to love it but now....................... Seems like alot of stuff is better as a memory, (playing it on the system isn't as good as having it play back in the head). Sometimes this might be because the analog versions got vandalized when they were turned into cds. The old musical tastebu... | |
| Leslie & Corky - Need I saw any more???? WOWW!! Thanks for posting that lyric from Mississippi Queen, must have heard that tune a thousand times, and never really ciphered it out. What West (cd) recordings do you think sound best on these stinkin' analytical systems so many of us have? T... | |

| Prog rock Hi Mike, Probably won't be going this year since U.Z. is only band in the line up that it'll kill me to miss. Since the event is being moved back to a smaller venue getting tickets could be pretty tough. Last year was cool (but the house PA was no... | |
| Your Top Five for 2003 -Geez, there's no way to amputate it down to five without some kind of torture or some pretty convincing threats (it's not gonna happen by email). It's probably just plain stupid to hope that this listing could help the following musicians get lis... | |
| Favourite labels Pretentious winos w/ expensive tastes often get razzed for being label drinkers. I try not to be a label listener, but when (pretentiously) going through the racks or browsing online, seeing one of these labels will make me spazz out for a second:... | |
| I need some suggestions for some new speakers... The GMA Europa can be pretty amazing, placement is not difficult, but good stands (Osiris makes some good ones) will help. There's no shortage of Europa endorsers on this site, you may be able to dig up some useful info from a few of them. |
