| Best 80s New Wave It seems that a number of punkers changed their colors. When Billy Idol was with Generation X he used to spew vitriol over Led Zep as a commercial sell out. I guess he finally figured out how wallets get lined. | |
| Take up drums at age 56? @16f4 : I’m in a good place at age 56. Life is good. Finally have the means to do some things I’ve always wanted to do.But that statistic really surprises me. For me my 50’s have been a challenge. Aging parents. Getting kids out of the nest. Job c... | |
| I woke up with cold ears "is n80 an element?"No. The N80 was Nikon's last and finest consumer film SLR. I'm into photography and used to moderate on a large Nikon website. I'd just bough an N80 and used it as my username. Now I use it everywhere else too.Kind of boring. B... | |
| Best 80s New Wave I have a vague recollection of Rock Lobster blaring in the background in an addled daze of alcohol. In the early 80's maybe. But you wouldn't call that new wave, would you? | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @boxer12, its a cliche for sure but rock has been the soundtrack to my life.Also recall a ritual where my college roommate and I would head over to the Isle of Palms on our way to a bar that featured local bands called the Windjammer. We'd always ... | |

| Whats playing on your system today? @boxer12, I had forgotten about Delbert McClinton. Last time I listened to him was in college, headed down highway 17 from Charleston to Edisto in a friend's Jeep. We were going fishing just off Editsto. He loved Delbert and we blasted him the who... | |
| What is they best album out there for showing off the sound quality of your system. @soundermn : If you like the SQ of Dire Straits stuff (and I do too), check out some of Knopfler's solo work. He has done a lot. I don't particularly care for a lot of it, but Tracker is exceptional. One of my favorite albums. Get Lucky is good an... | |
| DIY speakers of solid/reclaimed wood? When I was considering building a pair myself my plan was to make the structure out of MDF and then "skin" it with local red cedar, which I already have. I built the countertops in my cabin with it. It is old growth and quite hard. Very pretty wit... |
