| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? bdp24:Absolutely yes to Julie Miller! Broken Things is a classic, and Blue Pony is good too. I much prefer her stuff to husband Buddy, though he has contributed to a lot of good music.Also -+1 to Kasey Chambers. "Nullabor Song" is an all time fa... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? The Way I Should is another fine record, esp, Wasteland of the Free, I'll Take my Sorrow Straight, and the sly duet with Delbert McClinton, Trouble.I wonder if she really is underappreciated compared to other excellent female performers in the ame... | |
| Favorite Cowboy Junkies? deadhead1000It looks like I hallucinated "hypnofolk" -- nothing on wikipedia, though there is a band of that name.Sure does describe Mazzy, though!Others to try in the CJ vein:Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter, "Reckless Burning"Po'Girl, "Vagabo... | |
| Favorite Cowboy Junkies? I give All That Reckoning a listen.Very well put together, and I think better than some of their other recent efforts, but still on the spacier side of their range, which, as I've said is not my favorite part of what they do.I guess the folkier st... | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s Sorry for your appliance woes, quinten!Dishwasher's seem to be esp. problematic: fair amount to go wrong, and you here complaints even at the the higher end.Anyone have one they love? | |
| Favorite Cowboy Junkies? +1 on "F I Hate the Cold"The Nomad Series never took in my rotation, but that one's a fun romp. | |
| Favorite Cowboy Junkies? +1 the Thunder Road Cover!I'll seek out the EPs. | |
| Favorite Cowboy Junkies? I'll give All that Reckoning a spin, richmon.Looks like my last purchase was At the Ends of Paths Taken, which didn't grab me.Funny to see the band age -- last show I was at, Margo said, "we know you all need to get home to your babysitters, so we... | |
| Favorite Cowboy Junkies? So much to like! Other than the Dead, have seen and listened to CJ more than any other band. I prefer the folkier stuff to the spacier stuff, so my faves are Black-Eyed Man and Caution Horses, though I really like the more spacey Miles From Our ... | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s Thanks, cissado,We've got a reasonably dark space for the RV room, fortunately. There won't be any gaming.Agreed on not spending 30k for the OLED richopp. I didn't even know you could spend that on a TV! I enjoy a decent picture, but the experi... | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s Interesting to hear about the long-lived Panny Plasmas. I'd always heard they were twitchy, and mine failed after about three years.Replaced it with an entry level 65" Samsung, and the picture was pretty awful compared to the plasma. Upgraded to... | |
| The Grateful Dead tune that would still make for a great James Bond Theme Song Fair enough, oldhvymec!Anyone know of movies with GD tunes in soundtrack?There's of course the excellent Long Strange Trip Deadumentary, but that doesn't quite count. | |
| The Grateful Dead tune that would still make for a great James Bond Theme Song Doesn't it depend on the Bond?Maybe Minglewood Blues for Daniel Craig? (Love Gin Wigmore's Man Like That.)By the way, 2 things have in recent years led to a Dead resurgence in my life; the Sirrus GD channel, and the Dead Live skill for Alexa. Ne... | |
| Would you buy a piece of gear with a defect? If you have the relevant DIY skills, maybe yes. Although only 400 off a used comp for a unit non cosmetic damage seems high to me as others have noted.(Cosmetic damage is another matter, and I'm I'm happy to buy discounted items where that's the ... | |
| Does a Tube Dac make sense? Totally agree with charles1dad that hobbyists often affiliate with either an "accuracy crowd" or a "musicality crowd," and that members of these different crowds are likely to have very different preferences.I expect that divide explains some of t... |
