| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. No one who puts their feet up on my coffee table and says, “God Only Knows” is the best pop song ever written will get a dirty look from me. A pop song that can hit a “laymen” with authority and merely sound like a “pretty, catchy song,” but whic... | |
| Costliest Brainfart I knocked the cantilever off of a Clearaudio Concerto V2. After I heard a “pop” in the speakers, I looked at the cartridge with nothing protruding from it, and yelled like Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men when his precious “Green Hornet” fishing... | |
| Being alone with your music When I think of my most transcendent moments of music listening, they’re mostly when I’m alone. I’m jealous of people who describe concerts this way. I’ve been to a lot of concerts, and it never happened with non-classical music. I’ve been v... | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @bdp24 This is a great point you make about super-revealing gear causing less-than-stellar recordings to be more pronounced in their less-than-stellarness. Tough thing about such listening habits. I suppose if one only listens to music that wa... | |
| Vinyl Lovers Classical one place (organization method of choice, i.e. alphabetical, chronological, both, etc.) Soundtracks in another place (ditto). Adjacent to soundtracks, the “others”; Xmas, comedy, spoken word, etc, and 7”(ditto). Virtually everything else... | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @vandy357 I remember seeing an advanced-age version of Willie on Austin City Limits a few years back and his fluidity as a performer with his guitar and voice was just remarkable. Beautiful. A true artist. Willie’s catalogue of songs…fuhgettabou... | |
| Good value vintage pressing of CCR Cosmo’s Factory? I’d love to hear what others have to say about original or at least ‘70s pressings. I am lights years from, say, the people at Better Records in CA who have heard huge numbers of vintage pressings of tons of albums, but I’ve had a hard time find... | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie Hypothetically, it’s all good and healthy to maximize the fidelity of the media that supplies the thing you want; attention to acoustics & attention to gear made for music reproduction—> music…if one is a cinema lover, the equivalent for ci... | |
| Good value vintage pressing of CCR Cosmo’s Factory? I’ve had a real rough go finding this one in great shape and good sound. Many OG copies purchased, all of them discarded. I love this album. Apologies for negating your wish for an OG, but Steve Hoffman goes straight from the original master t... | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @mofimadness wait a doggone minute…I just looked at your list and saw 2 compilations…🤔…you said no compilations… Tisk, tisk, friend…😉 | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @mofimadness Not sure how much you dig vinyl, but the OG can be had in EX condition real cheap. Haven’t heard the ‘22 remaster. I say this not so much as an analog disciple as much as a fan of…gosh, how do I put it…a particular…cinematic(?) qual... | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @rpeluso Both of those OG LP’s probably cost me a combined $1.50. I found an immaculate OG copy (well, warped, but no factor after a nice clamp) of Frisco Mabel Joy on the floor (not even in a carton or box, just on the floor) of a thrift store. I... | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie 1. Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder 2. Where I’m Coming From - Stevie Wonder 3. Signed, Sealed and Delivered - Stevie Wonder 4. Innervisions - Stevie Wonder 5. Music For 18 Musicians - Steve Reich 6. In The Wee Small Hours - Frank Sinatr... | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @mahgister I said, “you are speaking with grave authority on matters purely subjective.” That’s not “putting a label” on anybody. It’s called, “conversation.” My bit about people listening to music on phones vs. gear made solely for music repr... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @bdp24 those songs I mentioned beg to differ. The Band was nowhere near the aggressive musical outfit that Zep was. Zep often played big ol’ aggressive music wherein the bludgeoning you referred to was not only appropriate but beneficial. Given th... |
