| Beatles vs. Stones @bigtwin - That was then (I don’t think I’d even heard of anyplace in England besides London and Liverpool), this is now - I’ve since become a Britophile over the past 4 or 5 decades with mates scattered about through England and Scotland, and qui... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones @bigtwin - I never heard of that custom of putting pennies on dead people's eyes until long, long after I heard that song, so for 30 years or so, I had no idea what he was on about; might as well have been from 'I Am The Walrus'! | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" Who ever thought it was music? Millions and millions of people all over the world who can appreciate it even if you don't. | |
| Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs My records sound better after a session in my DeGritter than they did before. Surface noise much reduced. That's all I care about... | |
| Incredible improvement in sound quality I've got tinnitus as well, but my hearing is always improved all around with an ear cleaning, and the tinnitus becomes less of a percentage of what I hear. I also wear hearing aids.... | |
| Audiogon site acting weird. I've noticed that about the '30 days remaining'.... | |
| Incredible improvement in sound quality Just like seeing better when you clean your eyewear.... | |
| Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' Roger's an old crank, but I love his music and agree with him on many issues, if not all. | |
| More Cowbell I dunno - I've been a BOC fan since 1972 and I never found this at all amusing. The band seems to like it, though; saw them once when a band called Covers Girls opened for them, and when they did 'Born to Be Wild', Buck Dharma came running out on... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" I don't agree with Ray Charles. Why people feel the need to insult music they don't happen to care for and the people who like it is beyond me. | |
| Beatles vs. Stones @waytoomuchstuff - I was thinking the same thing, but there were some parallels in career trajectory, especially in their earlier days. Like the Beatles put out 'Sgt Pepper' and the Stones replied with 'Their Satanic Majesty's Request'. And while ... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @thespeakerdude + 1 | |
| Beatles vs. Stones I remember the big popularity battles in the 60's for a short while between the Beatles and the Monkees. And in retrospect, the Monkees had a lot better songs than they were given credit for. But still. | |
| Beatles vs. Stones @bdp24 - I like watching Mazzy's vids too; he used to come into the record wholesaler in Oakland I was working at when we were both in the local record business in the 70's. And the shrooms are still magical now! 🤣 | |
| Speaker Break-in I've had speakers that sounded really good after just a few days of break-in time. I've also got a pair of great sounding Fritz speakers, and those took about 250 hours or so before the various frequencies started sounding like they'd met each oth... |
