| When speakers duplicate drivers Google "D'Appolito configuration" and you'll get one argument for this approach. | |
| Music Lovers Speaker vs. Audiophile Speaker In today's world, the difference seems to be that that an audiophile speaker doesn't have Bluetooth. | |
| Obscure bands Bdp,I couldn't help chuckling a bit as I read your most recent post. It almost reads like a scene from "Spinal Tap". That must have been a fun time and it sounds like a few of those guys have had a decent run in the music making business, which ... | |
| Whatever happened to...? Usually Google answers this, but not always. Peter Schott was the (brilliant, IMO) music director for Kid Creole and The Coconuts. He left the band after a few albums and, then nothing...... | |
| Obscure bands Bdp, You got me on The Halibuts, which is kind of a bummer because that's a "top ten ever" name for a rock band, IMO.I actually considered mentioning both 13th Floor Elevators (Roky Erickson) and Romeo Void (Debora Iyall), but figured both got too... | |
| Obscure bands Yep,I cant argue with Whart: Used Guitars = great songs, lousy sound. For me, all of the early Marti Jones records (Used Guitars, My Long Haired Life, Unsophisticated Time, Match Game, and Any Kind of Lie) combined first rate songs, beautiful si... | |
| Austrailian rock and roll No love for Split Enz? The Finn brothers had a gig before Crowded House. | |
| Obscure bands A couple a Southern janglers (both from Chapel Hill, NC I believe) and a first cousinArrogance (Don Dixon)Let's Active (Mitch Easter)The DBs (probably that area's biggest jangle rock act) were too well known for this thread IMO. Still love the tr... | |
| Obscure bands OK, so here's three from the NYC punk/new wave club scene ca. 1980 - Anyone remember The Shirts? Lead singer Annie Golden later starred in Milos Foreman's film version of "Hair", IIRC.Then there was a San Francisco (?) band called Medium Medium w... | |
| Obscure bands Ghost,Funny thing about Chicken Shack is that Christine Perfect only came on board after several years. Stan Webb was the main attraction in that band and he was a really good guitarist. They also had one other high profile member (maybe in a la... | |
| Obscure bands Anyone remember the English blues rock band Chicken Shack? They featured a great guitarist called Stan Webb. Their pianist, Christine Perfect, later married into Fleetwood Mac (becoming Christine McVie) and raised her profile quite a bit over th... | |
| Obscure bands I'm not sure that Richard Hell & The Voidoids qualify for this thread (they were a pretty high profile band in the punk scene), but they surely qualify for the thread about best song titles:"Love Comes In Spurts"One curious tidbit about the ba... | |
| Obscure bands Two more spin-offs, this time from the Doctor Buzzard/Kid Creole family:Don Armando's Second Avenue Rhumba BandandElbow Bones and the RacketeersLike their "parent" bands, both of these bands hybridized disco with other musical forms (notably big b... | |
| Obscure bands China Crisis was a favorite of mine back in the day,but I can't recall a thing about 'em right now! Senior syndrome, I guess.Some of The Feelies spin-offs, like The Trypes and Yung Wu come to mind first. Both would IMO qualify for this thread as... | |
| Martin Logan Vista spks versus Maggie 1.7 speakers. Best speaker for medium size room?? Another option is MMGs with subwoofers (if the rest of your system can accommodate that). Last I looked, MMGs were about $600 and a pair of top flight 12" subs from SVS or Rythmik ran anywhere from $1k (very good) to $1700ish (superb). I've run ... |
