| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion I’ll accept that it might be possible for two ears to perceive the location of a source in relation to distance, but I’m not sure that the effect can be recreated with only two speakers. I’ve seen lots of mixing boards with a knob for right and le... | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? bimasta, FWIW I heard the Stones live with Brian, with Mick T. and with Ron. I never heard them sound good live. The playing may have been great but the sound system never overcame the difficulties presented by the setting (twice indoors in Hous... | |
| Hal Blaine Here is an insane list of songs Hal Blaine played on--from A Hazy Shade of Winter to Zippadee-doo-dah: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recordings_of_songs_Hal_Blaine_played_on | |
| Is this the real life, or just death on 2 legs? I would have far more interest in Bohemian Rhapsody if they had been able to keep Sacha Baron Cohen in the starring role. But he bolted. I'm sure I'll give it a try eventually. | |
| Hal Blaine The Wrecking Crew documentary has been on Netflix--might still be there. Also, a good movie about Muscle Shoals studio and one about background singers. All three are worth checking out.It's great that Hal Blaine and the rest of the crew are fin... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? I try to listen at a level that's realistic for the music itself, so the only things that get cranked are symphonic and rock music. Even then I'm probably a bit stingy. I know better than to listen to rock at concert level volume. | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? I couldn't stand any of those bands so they had no relevance for me then and have none today. I respect the musicianship but the music did not hit me where I live. At that time I listened to a lot of Ry Cooder and David Bromberg, which helped me... | |

| Which courier do you prefer? I've shipped many musical instruments (violins and guitars mostly) and I prefer USPS. I find them reliable and mostly prompt. FedEx second, UPS third. USPS keeps it moving cross-country on holidays and weekends (no holiday delivery, though). | |
| RIP Peter Tork blindjim, Mike Nesmith had more post-Monkees success as a musician than Tork or the others, and for good reason--he could play, sing, and especially, write quite well. Linda Ronstadt recorded at least two of his songs and had a hit with one of t... | |
| Your favorite male soul voices He's considered a blues artist, but Taj Mahal has done some fine covers of soul and R&B tunes. | |
| It was 50 years ago today.... I always have preferred the first McCartney LP to Ram. Except for Teddy Boy--what a loser that is! | |
| Do you listen to equipment or music. If it were ALL about the music I'd still be listening to my 1972 Minimus 7's (hey, they had a lifetime warranty)! Can anyone here truthfully say they have never listened to the equipment? It's highly unlikely--how would you choose one component ... | |
| The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality) I think some are from U. of North Texas (my alma mahler) and some are east coast. Guitarist Chris McQueen is originally from Westlake High, near you. |
