| The best music in 2018 My wife loved the Teskey brothers. Can't wait for the CD.I find some new music cruising Apple Music but I'm also finding a good bit just going through these "what are you listening to?" threads. Good resource. | |
| Basic/mid fi headphone advice. Great recommendations guys. Thank you. I think the Grados are open so that won't be an option. My wife already doesn't like the noise coming from the ear buds when we're sitting in bed. | |
| Any Mark Knopfler fans out there? The only difference I ever noticed was that some radio stations played a shortened version with the guitar solo at the end edited down to nothing. That used to tick me off so much! Interesting about other versions of the single. I bet there are pe... | |
| Basic/mid fi headphone advice. Question: Some headphones say something about open or open air. Not sure what this means but even though I do not need noise canceling I do not want to hear background noise through 'open' headphones (if that is what that means). | |
| Basic/mid fi headphone advice. Thanks Geoff, I will look into those. Ghost, I have not gone there, was not aware of it. Will look into it. | |
| Your single favorite musician on any given instrument? bdp24, not sure why you feel technique is my only criteria. It isn't. But I would think it has to be one criteria, right? And maybe a big one?I think one of the aspects that is important, at least to me, is how the drummer impacts and interacts wi... | |
| Thoughts on Big Star The first songs I heard by Big Star (and my two favorites) are For You and Stroke It Noel. They sounded very unique to me. Strange even. I've found a few others that I like but just not getting the rest of their work....but still listening. | |
| Your single favorite musician on any given instrument? I think from a purely technical, almost academic standpoint, that Peart is the best. He’s in my top three: Bonham, Peart, Moon.This is an interesting short but technical video about Bonham’s style. I’m neither a drummer or a musician so most of it... | |
| Any Mark Knopfler fans out there? Listening to Privateering right now. I'm enjoying it but it hasn't grabbed me the way Tracker did. Still early yet and lots to take in with two CDs.Will look at tour schedule. I'm assuming very pricey. | |
| The best music in 2018 Just ordered the CD. Seriously good stuff. | |
| The best music in 2018 Digging the Teskey Brothers. Where did you find them? | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Ted Hawkins- The Next Hundred Years. CD. What a fortunate find! | |
| MFSL CDs: Dumb Questions I got the $5 Ted Hawkins CD of The Next 100 Years. The SQ is surprisingly good. Really enjoying the CD and glad I found it. His voice is amazing. I hear a little Ray Charles there, not as rich or as sweet as Ray, but it is certainly more haunting ... | |
| Thoughts on Big Star Good points Walter. And isn't a good thing? If we all liked the same things I suspect the diversity of things would be far less!Often times when I hearing nothing that pulls me in from a band I move along. But when they have a good song or two tha... | |
| Your single favorite musician on any given instrument? Interesting take on Harrison. I've always admired Knopfler's approach to guitar playing but he is always ready, willing and very able to add an embellishment or ornament. Maybe he is the baroque antithesis to Harrison's controlled style? |
