| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? BTW,You gotta like the Zak Wylde appearance. | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? I like Casey, but last night I thought he did a mediocre job on the wrong song. I suspect that he's gone. Sadly.In my book, the guy in the rodeo costume can't get kicked off soon enough.When Jacob finally learns that a little bit goes a long way, ... | |

| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... One more to look forward to:The Feelies' (with both Bill Million and Glenn Mercer participating) new CD is due out on Tuesday, the 12th. It's their first new release in more than decade.MartyThanks all for the suggestions, I'll be sure to hunt dow... | |
| What is your source for discovering new music? Robert Baird at Stereophile is a great source for me. | |
| For all you Clapton fans.... Edorr,I think there's some truth to the "from the head" part of your comments (specifically over the last decade, or so - since the release of From The Cradle), but I really like that part of his game. I'm a guitar student these days, so that appr... | |
| For all you Clapton fans.... Lokie,It's not surprising that so many musicians you cite applaud Clapton's playing - it's wonderful and expressive and deserving of all the praise it receives. I gush over him, too. He's one of my favorites and I've seen him perform live a dozen+... | |
| good non-ARC linestage for ARC VT-100 MK2/VS-100 One note of caution. You need a true balanced signal out of your preamp for some of the ARC power amps that provide only XLR inputs (like my VT 130SE). ARC's protection scheme will wreak havoc with an input signal that does not see the common mode... | |
| For all you Clapton fans.... Lloydc,Criticizing Clapton's technique is not absurd, but I do think it's generally misguided. His taste and restraint (I agree on both counts) are impressive, his masterly tone - IMHO - even more so. However, he has always had severely limited fr... | |
| For all you Clapton fans.... I recently posted a review on A'gon of the Clapton/Los Lobos show I attended last month. I note the point Marakanetz was making - Clapton's technique is much easier to learn than many/most other guitar heros - but that does not diminish his very p... | |
| Perfect Debute Albums Tatw,Props on New Radicals, you beat me to it. I'll add Joe Jackson Look Sharp and Marshal Crenshaw (eponymous).Marty | |
| Endless debate: monitor + sub vs floorstanding I'd attribute your ProAc dealer's remarks to the fact that he's a ProAc dealer.IME, properly set up subs are a revelation. Of course, that part about properly set up is important. Few full range speakers can produce clean measured response in the ... | |
| Best live album you've ever heard? To clarify, "Tea Party" also has some great moments, particularly Vol II which I've been told features Joe Walsh, as well as Peter Green, et al. However, these performances are pre Buckingham Nicks. I know that many folks here prefer the earlier l... | |
| Need Blues Rec--burn the house down guitar stuff Onhwy61You're right. Gatton usually plays some of each...blues, country, jazz, surf, etc. But all of it is great, even if not precisely on the OP's original pointMarty |
