| Whats playing on your system today? @dbtom2 - I’ll see your "Enigmatic Ocean" and raise you a couple of Sugar Cane Harris, "Keyzop" and "Sugar Cane’s Got the Blues". Harris is a bluesier player but maybe not as refined or technically proficient as JLP. More soul, though (for me at l... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Yesterday, listened to a few things...Stars Of The Lid and Their Refinement of the DeclineGrateful Dead Go To Heaven - no offense to hardcore Dead fans (late getting in touch with my inner Deadhead so new to me) but this one just struck me as weir... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @nutty Did not know Rick Braun but found Full Stride on Spotify. The sound quality seems excellent and I like the sound of his horn. Definitely preferring instrumentals these days (with some exceptions). Full Stride is smooth jazz I guess but d... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report A rough day. "Stars of the Lid and Their Refinement of the Decline" is helping. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Nutty - this thread has gotten some legs so not sure if I'm repeating something already mentioned but if you like Deep Purple you probably already know their "In Rock". Sweet Child in Time is pretty memorable. Also to radfrad, been listening to ... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Howdy N...Pleased to read you checked out Bersarin Quartett. A LOT of his stuff is brooding. If you are willing to give more of that "genre" (modern composition, as it is sometimes called) another go, consider Acoustic Tales by Field Rotation (ak... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Hey Nutty - Never been a big AC/DC fan myself but have to say, "Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap" has some pretty funny lyrics if you are into that sort of black humor. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman wrote - "What the purists don’t want to accept is that you can’t stop the evolution of the art form (any art form); it is always a reflection of the times. The purist thinks that he is "protecting" the art form by blanketly (?) rejecting t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok - Not much time this AM. Will write more later. Great answer. Knew of the man but not much more. Have to say again, I enjoyed that video of his jazz band's performance that you posted. Do you not think Wynton has any peers in today's jazz... | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok - not trying to be a provocateur but why should anyone care what Wynton says about who is playing "Jazz"? Granted he is a talented jazz musician...an accomplished, celebrated artist. But is he "keeper of the flame" as it were? I'd be real i... | |
| Obscure bands A few bands I'd like to see get more recognition...one defunct, two still recording.No longer active: The Standard...check out a fine trilogy of albums by them: Wire Post to Wire; Swimmer; Albatross.Still active: Nada Surf...been around a while... | |
| Bent stylus or normal? ~5-10 degrees off horizontal when looking directly from the front hockey - Based on that VinylEngine thread (great thread, by the way) I assume you are returning the Shure?If you haven't yet, It would probably be help to reverse leads from your TT and see if the crackling moves to the other channel. Also, do yo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogmanAs requested..A link to Andy’s very good "Earth + Sky". Unfortunately not the entire album - something of a playlist mix - but you can tell the tracks that are from E+S by the album cover. I hold Andy’s post-Police solo work in high regard... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hard to keep up with the scintillating discussion here, so if you’ll pardon this potential non-sequitur, I thought I’d add a little more fuel to the fusion fire (lest it peter out). Frogman might enjoy this if no one else (though I hope others do)... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Hey N...I’m very happy with the SP4s. I had some ClearDay double shotgun speaker cables I was running before. I liked them a lot but needed a bit more length. Can’t remember what made me go Morrow and not stay with Clear Day. The Clear Day cable r... |
