| Pink Floyd Sure, the Floyd material is dated. It is 2011 and they were late 60's to 80's band, essentially. They were not a stoner band but that was the era. They were extremely talented musicians that put together an incredible library of multi-layered reco... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Yes, Tube, you about hit that one on all counts. My gripe is about weak, often annoying judging and the show's authenticity .. at least for this way-post-teen viewer. Oh, and the group sing-alongs and Ford commercials? The girls hide the remote so... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? I know, I am sure he's brilliant...secretly. And "Journey Is the greatest Rock and Roll band in history." RJ :o)I'm aware of what his resume is, just commenting on his, uh, performance as a judge. | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Sure Tube, you make good points. I agree, talent was up, Ivine especially, and other coaches were great. I did sit through most all the episodes with my girls and laughed at some, ok, many of Tylers quips. As always our favorite episodes were the... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? My 11 year old put it very succinctly as she watched the finale. "This isn't American Idol, its American Teen Idol". That is the show's viewer demographic and they play to it. Randy's simplistic, moronic feedback (In It to win it"). Jennifer's cl... | |
| Band with highest success/talent ratio? >>>"is it Elton John?? Someone needs to explain to me why he is so famous"<<< Really? No raving fan here, but, are you serious? Ever seen some of his early playing, singing? Not arguing differing tastes in music, but his body of ... | |
| Can you hear matched power cables? This is pretty typical of information intended to help in terms of "evaluating power cords", that gets confused in translation when recounted.When evaluating power cords of any type, if you bring brand x home and have 2 brand z, 1 brand y and 1 br... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? I could not get a read on what the lyrics meant or didn't mean to the singer just from watching his performance or tears afterwards. My take was that he had huge adrenaline going, spent every last dime of his energy and the aftermath was the rele... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? The poor fellow over-cooked the song to death and added every pyrotechnic, vocal inflection and scat-jab in his bag. Can't blame him but it made for an uneven delivery.That said, the guy has really serious raw talent as does the upright-bass fello... | |
| Shunyata Power Conditioner advice Just a correction and note. Yes, Audience conditioners are non-current limiting,This means that they don't actively alter or impede continuous or instantaneous current. Shunyata Research and several others products are no different in this way. Ho... | |
| The Hub: Just how bad is it in high end audio? Holy cow, pass me the Xanax! I don't know what the view from the internet is, but from the ground, east coast to west, nothing is looking_that_ bleak.>>>I suspect that voodoo claims and marketing is much to blame. After all, high end is s... | |
| The Hub: Just how bad is it in high end audio? Mr Tennis?>>>the problem with high end audio is high end audio. consumers are becoming smarter and manufacturers' cling to their outdated economic models<<<No one is "clinging" to anything, that is an inauspicious way to start of... | |
| Gilmour and Waters Together Again Gawd, I was being tongue in cheek, or did you miss the :o). I was going for lighthearted disagreement with the notion that they are too old to play or should hang it up because their music is too dated. I like the idea that some of the younger set... | |
| The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close Thanks for the heads up, Bill.Like so many stores with "thousands served" it is not uncommon to have a vocal response from all those that had a negative experience, or two at SBS :o). Considering the 7 year arc of feedback I received from customer... | |
| Gilmour and Waters Together Again Yeah, what a bunch of old talentless coots, eh? :o)That damn Gilmour can't stroke a note;did you see that sorry excuse for a solo at Live Aid couple years back? He should stow that Strat and just call it quits--what do a couple hundred thousand aw... |
