| Which amp to use? I'd be part of the "some'" that would recommend you may want to consider more sensitive speakers if you are looking for SET magic. 88db just don't do it, and I speak from direct experience (actually I tried 89db with 8 watts in an @ 200sf room wit... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Gosh, I've been freelancing my whole life, when did they go and change weekends to Thursday?! I want to be in your time zone Mark! Or is it one of those weird holidaze dictated by who knows who....the Dairy industry perhaps?! Is it Elsie the Cow's... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Thank you for your kind words Slipknot1. My deepest sympathies for your tragic loss of such a young companion. I thought I'd share this parable with you (and others who may have had to face a similar loss) that gave us some comfort:"In my dream I ... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. No sweat Asa! I was hoping the reference to Melville at the end might have clued you in to my intentions of 'oneness-in-wanking', but I can see it could be easily overlooked or misinterpreted. Nevertheless, as I said, I did enjoy your retort regar... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Ah Asa - you mistook my post as agressive and I regret to inform you that it was not intended that way. My apologies if it came off as being contentious. Your "welcome to the circle" was more the response I had expected as I was fully aware that, ... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Asa & 6chac - If you had a few more participants you could have an Audiogon Circle-Jerk going on. Sounds from his last post like Asa already spent his wad though! Heck, a bit of Viagra and you'll be up and hummin' in no time. I don't know if y... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Some turkey had already taken "Jax" though never seems to use the site (one transaction and no discussion at all. Member since 01'). I had the brilliant notion to add the '2'. Jax is my beloved American Staffordshire Terrier of just over 13 years ... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Nrchy - You plucked out two ringers that I was trying to think of myself. PJ just grates on me and I've tried several albums on numerous occassions. KD's got a great voice but I just can't get into her songs for some reason.Tomryan - I'm still lau... | |
| Music Reccommendations?? I'd second the Buddy Guy / Sweet Tea recommendation - great CD. Also Howlin' Wolf / The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions. More Blues: Son House...pretty much anything..the recordings aren't the greatest but the voice, the music and the emotion are all... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Ben- It is our differences, as well as our similarities, that makes life so rich and keeps things interesting. If we all liked the same things life would be pretty boring I think. In spite of your thinking this was a "dumb" thread (I get cranky to... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" I had the opposite experience Edesilva; I was introduced to Patti Griffin through her two accoustic albums, and her largely accoustic performance. Consequently Flaming Red was really hard for me to listen to, but I did come to like it very much. L... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Kinsekd - well said. Ben - I respect your right to your opinion, but definitely don't share your opinion in this case. First of all most of the posts go beyond being 'negative' in their content. Some add humor. Some swing into the positive. Some a... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Edesilva - If you like Flaming Red then you owe it to yourself to see just how versatile Patty Griffin really is. I am a big fan of hers and have seen her live in a wonderful accoustic performance here in Seattle. One of the best live concerts I'v... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Stehno - your description of your reaction to jazz sounds just like my wife's. I think she even used some of the same phrases to describe it! She can't stand it if I put on Miles or Casandra, or anything remotely sounding like jazz. She equates it... |
