| Who was this "band" ??? I never saw "Bad News", but the "Young Ones" was hilarious.A hippie, a punk, a "yuppie" etc. Now there's a timeless concept for a sitcom......if only our networks weren't so lame and unimaginative. | |

| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart...RIP Choosing Tom Hulce to play Mozart in punky-pink wigs and having him act like an american brat really dates "Amadeus" now, IMHO. I always felt the composer could have been portrayed as a deeper, more substantial character, though not without humor.... | |
| Awesome LP finds..at least for me A few years ago I picked up Keith Jared's "Sunbear Concert",a 10-LP tome for $10 mint at Goodwill. It's a huge book withLP sleeves and arty photographs. What an ego that guy has. The music and recording are quality, though. | |

| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? I'm very happy with the sound I get from my Matrix 805's,mounted on Audio points on Lovan Caliber stands, which are filled with micro bearings. The speakers are bi-wired withKimber 4TC/8TC to a NAD 370 integrated amp. Music sources are NAD 540i CD... | |
