| Blues /rock: music recommendations? Robert Bradley's Blacwater Surprise is pretty good ... minor hit "Baby" off the following album: Time To Discover ... Great gravelly voice from the lead singer Robert Bradley, who certainly sounds like he's lived the blues. | |
| Best female vocals on CD Just heard a song on the radio, and - in the jangle pop category - nominate Harriet Wheeler of the Sundays (early-mid 90's group) as an amazing female vocalist. Offhand, can't think of any other tha can so effortlessly glide between notes, not to ... | |
| What speaker shoud I choose? In the budget bookshelf - I've also listened to the Wharfedale Diamond 8.1, 8.2 Anniversary, and the Monitor Audio Bronze B1 (but not its larger sibling the B2). All are quite remarkable for the price (between 2k and 3k, depending on purchase meth... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Hmmmm...First a pair of 3-way "Magna" speakers - at least I think that was the line - purchased in some store after a flood damage. Circa 1982 or so...Second was a used pair of Bang&Olufsen 3-ways for around $50, with a replaced tweeter. Guess... | |
| what are you listening to lately? Recent enjoyable purchases (although I've spent much time listening to BB6 music over the Internet)..Fountains of Wayne - Welcome Interstate Managers. Looks like this is the release that gets them wide exposure. Witty lyrics, incessant hooks, grea... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Slipknot1,In response to Excitable Boy, I do have to say that Warren Z did put out some pretty romantic tunes in his own fashion. I rarely pull my vinyl Warren - but I did a few months ago - and played his major debut "Warren Zevon". "Backs Turned... | |
| Who R U? New to Audiogon, but like the commentary and community.39 year old technical writer. Live in NH, squirreled away in a log home surrounded by woods (but close to civilization - the best of both worlds). Stumbled into tech writing about 13 years ago... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Well ... the more I listen to it, the more I like Neil Young's "Harvest Moon". A long-time companion song if there ever was one (20 years and still working on it myself). And if you can't envision yourself swaying in someone's arms to the music, w... | |
| The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now Mad Fish Chardonnay - unoaked Australian chardonnay (around $12-14 a bottle). Crisp citrus flavors - best to be savored next summer in New England... Wine Spectator 89 (if you're into that sort of thing) | |
| Favorite Movie Soundtrack Non-instrumental soundtracks -Like Cat Stevens' for Harold and Maude, and Badly Drawn Boy's recent soundtrack for "About A Boy". | |
| Underestimated, song, artist or group '' gems'' ? Three pop/r&b nominations:NRBQ - Yes, they have their devoted grassroots legion, but it's criminal that they never got much mainstream attention. I don't remember EVER hearing an NRBQ song on broadcast radio. And they have to be one of the har... | |
| What can $300 do? Just listened to Monitor Audio Bronze B1 - demo set was $220, retails new for $300. Great little bookshelf speaker. Highly recommended. Was comparing them against Wharfedale Diamond 8.1s for same price ($199 Amazon) - also good, although I'd give ... | |
| Wharfedale Diamond Anniv 8.2s vs Mon Audio Brnz 1 Well ... auditioned the Monitor Audio Bronze at an audiophile-type friend's place - and all I can say for the price is wow! Of course - he had a nice listening area/equipment. High vaulted ceilings, speakers bi-wired w/some fancy cable, sitting on... |
