| question for SLP05 owners: I appreciate your input, @decooney . I am starting to think that I don’t like the idea of something that gets warm sitting right on top of something that gets hot. When I say hot, I do not mean hot enough to burn flesh, but hot enough to make the ... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato The fact that you were in a small town in Montana probably had something to do with as well. That probably had the most to do with it, @ezwind . They played top 40 hits and old-goldies and C&W. They probably played Blowing In The Wind back ... | |
| YOUR AUDIOPHILE JOURNEY WHEN DID IT START AND HOW DID YOU GET TO YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? I had to repost this because we had a troll destroy our discussion. A troll?? No way! Not here! I don’t believe it! Anyway, I do not own my "dream system" but it is better than it was 30 years ago when I got started. The way I started was I go... | |
| question for SLP05 owners: Thanks @decooney . I would have to email them, because I don’t think they talk to people on the phone anymore unless they want to buy something. The last time I emailed them about something, they were in no hurry to get back to me, but I guess tha... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @immatthewj How much effort have you put into exploring contemporary songwriters? I would confess not all that much. But in a way that makes my point. During the 60s and 70s you didn’t have to search high and low or put a great deal of effort ... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato By the way, you’ve brought up singer/songwriters like Ray LaMontagne, Norah Jones and Mia Doi Todd (haven’t heard of her), but as you point out, they’re all in their 40’s and 50’s. That’s not ancient by any means, but they don’t really fall into ... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato You miss the point here. Zappa was writing this in an era where non sense in lyrics was not frequent at all like nowadays and he wrote it as "humor" You know what they say--beauty is in the eye (or ear) of the beholder (or listener). But putti... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato My point is simply that it’s easier to appreciate lyrics that more explicitly address our age and life situation/experience and in so doing, not respond to lyrics that may be well written but simply don’t resonate for us at the time we encounter ... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato . . . and how about Norah Jones? She was born in ’79 and according to Wiki she has nine "studio albums" under her belt, apparently starting with Come Away With Me in ’02 (which, in my opinion, has some stuff on it that is quite well written). If ... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato My best friends introduce me to Zappa when i had 15 years old, he was more educated musically so to speak... I under-appreciated completely it to say the least but today i gave him his due... I just spoke to this friend this week about this son... | |
| question for SLP05 owners: Thanks for the feed back on that, @hk_fan . Does your power supply get pretty hot like mine does? | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato Here are a couple of more song writers I just thought of that I personally like what I have heard from them: Ray LaMontagne was born in ’73 and according to Wiki his first CD was released in ’04 and since then he has released at least seven more ... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato Anyone with ears knows Joni, Paul, and Gordon have no equal. My Dad,kind of thought the same thing, except he was in to The Lawrence Welk Show. I think it was "champagne music" or something like that. He thought it was pretty good and his min... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato Ahhh...! ’Time in a bottle’ I told you I’m getting older! Actually, @tyray , at the time your post made me think of those lyrics (". . . memories can be friends . . .") I could not remember the name of the song. I did a google prior to that po... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato Anyone with ears knows Joni, Paul, and Gordon have no equal. Be sure to keep your dial glued to the oldies stations so that you will never have anything to compare with. |
