| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? @alpha 100 -- Amy Beach, Piano Quartet in F# Minor. Ambache Chamber Ensemble. On Chandos Records. Idagio website. | |
| RIP Tom Verlaine Television remains one of my favorite bands. I read a rave review of the group in the L.A. Times (was it Robert Hillburn who wrote it?) and actually found their album Marquee Moon at the local record store. I put it on the stereo and was at first ... | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? Currently listening to a CD quality stream of an obscure chamber music piece from obscure 19th Century female American composer Amy Beach on Idagio. Enjoying the heck out of it. Romantic, wistful, and full of melody. No complaints. Mellow out dudes! | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? As ghdprentice sez... In any event, I might have already said this but I have so many stereo mags scattered around my listening room they could almost be considered acoustic treatments. I'll pick one up at random and read an article I've probabl... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? The Fourth Movement of Mozart's Symphony #39. | |
| Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music I've mentioned it a couple/three times before but I'll mention it again. Subscribing to a good streaming service is like having the keys to the world's best record store. For an eminently fair monthly fee. Sure, it could all come to an end for me ... | |
| Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music Just like christianb5s4, I tend to cue up recommendations I see on this site. | |
| Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music I tend to explore new artists and music the same way i did when I went to the record store, way back when. I look at the album cover. | |
| Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music I'm not quite sure of the details here, but when I cue up a particular song on Qobuz, Qobuz automatically cues up a number it deems to be similar. I actually find it to be a bit annoying, as the song it chooses is, more often than not, superficial... | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? And oh yeah -- I enjoy the rags' record reviews. If a review goes on and on about how excellent a recording sounds or how brilliant the music/music-making is, I'll go straight to Qobuz or Idagio and cue 'em up. | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? @sfgak You're hired! | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? Not to denigrate the writers I don't list here, but I enjoy the heck out of reading Robert Harley, Michael Fremer, Tony Cordesman, Julie Mullins, and Robert Deutsch. John Atkinson can be a little too methodical & cautious for me, but I appreci... | |
| David Crosby R.I.P. The news of Crosby's death has prompted me to put my bought-soon-after-it-came-out LP of Mr. Tambourine Man on the turntable. Plastic inner sleeve. Pressing weighs a ton. It's probably the first time I've played it when I've had a high-end system.... | |
| David Crosby R.I.P. I loved Crosby's voice, and both his voice and his presence added immeasurably to the bands he was in but, yeah, the way I see it he could never quite match the intensity and charisma of his fellow band members. I also saw him live, a couple times... | |
| RIP David Crosby… I was a true Byrds fan and loved Crosby’s voice but I did not know that he had a hint of Hollywood royalty in him. His father was an Oscar winning cinematographer, winning his Oscar ’way back in 1931. An obit in Daily Variety gave an interesting l... |
