| Great films where music is a central theme. Hey Dukeyou blew it man and are risking the rath of the OP, read carefully, NOT soundtracks BUT where music is a central theme. In Psycho the music is effect, not the central theme. I hear you concerning Bernard Herrmann though, among a small hand... | |
| Great films where music is a central theme. Oh yeah The Fabulous Baker Boys"10"Though neither of the above necessarily place music as the central theme, music IS a major part of the movie theme if not the central plot. | |

| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? "Feelings" - Morris Alpert, a Brazilian. The words are banal but there is a certain melancoly yearning in the song I couldn't put my finger on when I first heard it. Then there was that slight accent of Alpert, didn't know at the time he was Brazi... | |
| Why Do You Still Have Vinyl if You Don't Play it? I personally found that it is the time that you finally make the committment to get rid of something that is taking up space after years of mulling that you come to a realization later, what was I thinking? There is still music on those LP's. Unle... | |
| CD's vs Vinyl - Finally hear the difference "Yes, for the most "serious listening"(whatever that means) one turns to LP."Dgarrettson I agree with you point by point but the thing that always amuses me is this "serious listening" advantage that vinyl has. I completely concur that it is witho... | |

| Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile What is better marketing - a good subjective review with a couple of questionable artifacts in measurements, or no review at all?"James63 responds"No review at all, I have passed on a few auditions because of bad measurements. Measurements are not... | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP Why don't you just post what I sent you Chad rather than leave it to open speculation. If it is "kinda creepy" do get an e-mail from a member, I suggest you make it unavailable. You are indeed pathetic. | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? Phaelon, I'm not quite sure if you remember but Joey was quite a hoofer. She really wasn't a singer, more an overall entertainer ala Ann Margaret, easy to look at. You are not alone! | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP Well what started out as RIP tribute to a fallen human being has encompassed it all, religion, politics, name calling and sadly enough, by some a lack of demonstrable understanding of the meaning of the words civility, respect and compassion. A re... | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP Thank you for the update Godbless, and for giving us all a first hand account of the love felt towards her and by her, it tilts the balance away from superficial speculation, a good thing. | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP Chad, Joplin was a truly tragic tortured figure. She was quite insecure and conversely played out a role to cover up her perceived shortcomings. She couldn't conceal it in her performance, I saw her in 1969 and to this day I never saw a performanc... | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP GloryWhat you fail to understand is that this is an audio forum, not a place to extoll your religious beliefs. This thread is about a young woman that died tragically admittedly through her reckless, self-destructive behavior. Why do you feel so c... | |
