| RIP Ben Shabalala Ben Shabalala had not performed with Ladysmith Black Mambazo since 1993. | |
| Live 70s soul, funk, r &b albums..... Check out Curis/Live by Curtis Mayfield. The original LP on Curtom, and the recent Rhino remaster on CD, are both worth owning. A real highlight is the remarkably credible cover of "We've Only Just Begun." | |
| Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder I think it is a bit unfair, and not a little bit provincial, to cite as "one hit wonders" performers who, for a time, dominated the singles charts internationally, yet nevertheless only managed one hit single in the US. On this account, T-Rex was ... | |
| Favorite Music When Having Sex Any one of the songs on The Residents "Commercial Album" will suffice for me. | |
| I just puked Rock and Roll is now, and always has been, a thoroughgoing whorehouse. Rock and Roll is incorruptible, simply because any outside contamination, from any vile or cynical source, will only serve to temporarily ennoble it. Is there anyone who is wil... | |
| Biggest Live Miss 23 years ago today............ David Bowie on the "Station to Station" tour @ The Philadelphia Spectrum (1976, I believe), and Roxy Music @ The Uptown Theater in Chicago (1979). Good friends offered me gratis tickets to both shows. I cannot recall what specific "better things t... | |
| New Led Zeppelin Thanks for heads up on the Led Zep DVD release. Not that I want to lay a whole lotta "been there done that" hot air on my fellow 'gonsters, but in the travels of my wayward youth, I did manage to make it to both of their Kenbworth shows. They neve... | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts Both Led Zeppelin shows at Knebworth in 1979 were phenomenal. Unfortunately, most of their performances during their 1977 tour of the US were marginal. | |
| I wanna hear some "audio" jokes...and Q: Suppose Hogwood, Banenboim, and Sawallisch were all taveling on the same airplane, and it crashed in the ocean. Who would be saved?A: Mozart | |
| I wanna hear some "audio" jokes...and Q: What did one deadhead at the Grateful Dead concert say to the other deadhead after they ran out of drugs?A: "Dude, this music sucks!" | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Highland malts are (generally) full bodied, with a sweet finish & little of the pronounced iodine, peat & salt air character found in Islay malts. Glenlivet is an excellent place to start. Go to a bar or restauarant that has a good selecti... | |
| create a system for 2K I assembled a system for less than $2200 (including taxes & shipping) from dealer demos, closeouts, ebay, and Audiogon. I think it sounds pretty damn good:Speakers: Rega JuraIntegrated Amplifier: Myryad MI-120CD Player: Rega PlanetTurntable: R... | |
| The best books on music There is no music writer in the same league as the (barely) still-alive Nick Tosches. His thorough research & disdain for conventional wisdom are sufficient to make his books essential. The fact that he is now our nation's greatest writer, in ... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... I work in the high end of the booze biz & get good opportunities to purchase rare malts. Springbank is the distillery that I would miss the most were it to go silent. My all time fave Highland malt is the discontinued (since 1995)Balvenie Clas... | |
