| Favorite Tribute Albums? . . . and I would really like to hear the Lucinda Williams cover of Born In The USA. . . . I remember when the Cowboy Junkies sarted performing a cover of Thunder Road (I think that would have been in '01) and I almost that I like the CJ cover be... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? If I never hear another oldy-moldy from Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Scam again, that would be too soon. As far as his "new stuff"? He should have quit when he was ahead, which was at least 45 years ago. "The song remains the same," right Bo... | |
| Band/artist documentaries. This old engine makes it on time Leaves Central Station 'Bout a quarter to nine Hits River Junction at seventeen to At a quarter to ten You know it's travelin' again You gotta love it, @wharfy ! **snort** | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 @twangy57 , not everyone around here seems to feel this way, but I am in the camp that believes the electronics in front of a speaker will impact the way they perform. | |
| Band/artist documentaries. Gimme Shelter (1970) about the Rolling Stones Altamont free concert of which one of the mistakes made was having the Hells Angels in charge of security. | |
| Band/artist documentaries. I'm old enough to remember when cocaine was described as a safe recreational drug. What!? You mean it is not!? | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 OP, if I looked at the specs correctly of the amp you are using, they list 100 wpc into 8 ohms? And those speakers are listed as 4 ohm nominal impedance? Does your current amp have any specs listed for what it does into 4 ohms? | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? Have you heard Aretha Franklin’s cover of Eleanor Rigby? Not until just a few minutes ago, @stuartk , and it is playing agin as I type. I also played it as performed by the Beatles, and I honestly have to say that I prefer the Aretha Frankl... | |
| Band/artist documentaries. If I Leave Here Tomorrow was a pretty good doc film about Lynyrd Skynyrd. Another band whose music I am not really crazy about, but their story fascinated me. | |
| Band/artist documentaries. I watched the Chicago documentary. The amount of cocaine they consumed is astounding. I didn't know much at all about Chicago, and although I only had a passing familiarity with them from the days listening to certain FM stations in the '70s/80... | |
| What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you? Hi there… I can’t play a note but got the music gene from my mother who sang and played the piano. My stepdad was a jazz musician so I got early exposure to jazz which is still my favorite…. Always good to hear from Chriso, the other Shea "brot... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Dark and grim are accurate descriptors, @nonoise . I was not expecting a happy ending, but that was sort of like what would happen if Stephen King and Cormac McCarthy decided to collaborate on something. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. I can get Antlers for free, @nonoise ; it is queuing up as I type! | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? How often does a cover truly equal an original performance, let alone surpass it? Not that often, to my ears. I can respect that point of view, @stuartk , and to some extent, although I find covers of songs I am familiar with to be interesting... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. I thought that I had mentioned Fatman (2020) in this thread, but I cannot find it, so just in case I’ll mention it again because Walton Goggins is supposed to be hosting SNL tonight and that made me think of it. Anyway, it is a very dark comedy s... |
