| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @ticat He only "has a point" regarding the limited scope of what he chooses to listen to.

| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @simao But in many ways he's out of his depth when it comes to anything not in that Corridor View Agreed. You'd think a guy trained in Jazz would have bigger ears. . . | |

| Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon? I've had no problems selling or buying with Audiogon or USAM. The latter is less complicated. I've had only positive experiences with TMR. | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @slaw To my ears, at least, Timbuk 3 sound too far removed from Roots styles to be called Americana. Another example: the Stones clearly display Country and Blues influences but still, I wouldn’t call them Americana. Iron and Wine brings up th... | |
