| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @cd318 - I'm sorry to hear about Mike; I know how horrible losing your best friend is. Interesting that you tried to learn guitar and got as far as 'Jingle Bells' - I tried guitar and bass, but my hands just don't want to deal with fretted instr... | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) As Bob Seger would say, the music today just doesn't have the same old soul. Bob Seger did say it, and he said it about 70's music, as that's when he put that out. Was he talking about his own 'today's music', too, or did he just mean everybod... | |
| How Audiphiles are Different @secretguy - did you come out of the womb playing an instrument? 🤣 If not, think back - you might remember why it makes sense for non-musicians to listen to music and why what they think about what they're listening to is every bit as valid as wh... | |

| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @cd318 - I'm 70 years old, and when it comes to music, I'm indie and post-punk kid all the way, with a good dose of reggae and metal - age ain't nuthin' but a number! I remember when those bands you mention were really popular in the early 90's; I... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? @rrm - how is it compared to Kris Kristofferson's original? | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One I dunno if there's such a thing as 'best', but my favorite is the soundtrack to Twin Peaks, with music by Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch... | |
| New equipment @charles1dad - indeed! There were a lot of question marks, and I was providing my thoughts on the subject in answer. And as most of the music I listen to is rock music and I live in an apartment, nothing is going to make me forget that Metallica... | |
| E-bay and its sellers @thecarpathian - 🤣 But it's still silly that they NAP standing up! | |
| E-bay and its sellers @thecarpathian - cows may nap standing up, but they sleep laying down. Horses too. So I guess the cows that some people 'tip' were just having a nap. My mom even used to tell me that you could tell when it was going to rain because the cows would ... | |
| New equipment I dunno - things that I am hearing in the music for the first time with better gear always improves the experience of the music for me; the artists and the producers put this stuff in there for a reason, and from my experience, I can hear why.... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @cd318 - Holy cow - another fan of Inspiral Carpets! 'This Is How It Feels' is one of my favorites of their's (beautiful melody, too), along with the 'Revenge of the Goldfish' album.... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? The Animals' version of 'House of the Rising Son' kind of redefined it like Hendrix did with 'Watchtower'.... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? I think Dionne and Burt are a wonderful combo, but I don't have any records by them, whereas I do have every Stranglers album featuring Hugh Cornwell. Very different indeed, but personally I wouldn't say either is 'better' - vive la differance! | |
| E-bay and its sellers @tcotruvo - there are some bad buyers and sellers on eBay? Who would have guessed? 😀 Also, some sellers may consider absurd low-ball offers as insults to their intelligence and will respond accordingly, and I totally understand that. |
