| When Will We Learn? There's a belief system spreading around the world that you can buy something from some random person on the internet, have them ship it to you anywhere in the world and the product arrives in perfect working order 100% of the time. A small numbe... | |
| Moving Soon - Should I Pack Up Everything Now?? Determine what is your highest priority -- selling the house and moving or listening to music for a few more nights? The emotional basis of someone buying your house is that they imagine themselves living there. Do you think the average buyer wi... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". No joke at all. Garth would provide instrumental texture and density to the LZ palette. It's a role that JPJ did for them in the studio. The original Jimmy Page concept for LZ was as a twin guitar band with Terry Reid as the vocalist, co-lead g... | |
| Jeff Beck, Blues De Luxe Jeff Beck said he never hit his stride until he dropped the singer(s). Later in his career he would work with a female vocalist. | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? Why are people extolling their ignorance? As a species we have developed outstanding descriptions of gravity and electro-magnetism. The descriptions are more complex than what you would be taught in freshman physics, but complexity doesn't equal... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Let's do a thought experiment -- who from Led Zeppelin could play in The Band? Bonham, no way. Plant, it's a few decades early in his development. Page, as an acoustic player he could bring a little English folkie sound to the group. Although ... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @bdp24, I don't think watching "The Birth Of A Nation" will give you much insight about your relatives' beliefs. It's an adaptation of a book and play titled "The Clansman: An Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan". The film was instrumental in... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". I assume you're referring to the Griffith 1915 movie. That's the film where the KKK are the heroes. It was the biggest grossing film in Hollywood history until "Gone With the Wind". It's an important movie for cinematic reasons and a touchstone... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @bdp24 yes, clearly the song would be different. I actually like the song, but then again, I like the movie "Gone With the Wind". However, both present the South and the Civil War in a problematic light. All I am arguing is that you should take... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @bdp24 how do you think the song would be different if a Southern black person had written it? Let's face it, most Americans don't sing songs lamenting how bad it must have been to be a German in 1945 when the Russians crossed the Oder River. An... | |
| James Blunt out of tune? The guitar intro to Bungalow Bil was a tape played from a mellotron. | |
| Audio / Stereo Rack Why are you putting your monoblocs on a rack? Wouldn't they be better placed right next to your loudspeakers? | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". "Lexicon Of Love" is one of the all-time great pop recordings! I lump Duran Duran with INXS. Both had their own sound and wrote catchy tunes, well performed. Neither were great, but they could be quite enjoyable. | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". I much prefer "Acadian Driftwood" as a song and instrumental/vocal performance. Everybody has an opinion... |
