| Beyonce releases first album in six years RENAISSANCE @garebear Suge Knight and Jay-Z, again, are not, “one and the same.” One was a violent criminal-entrepreneur and the other is an artist-entrepreneur. It’s sad to me that someone would issue such a blanket condemnation of rap/hip-hop “culture,”... | |
| Beyonce releases first album in six years RENAISSANCE The statement made above is what I would consider a reasoned, thoughtfully written one. I’m much more inclined to engage with such than someone printing pop lyrics out of context and saying, “look at this trash these darn kids listen to!” Or just... | |
| Beyonce releases first album in six years RENAISSANCE @garebear Have you ever actually listened to those artists who get “promoted beyond their talent level by ‘Country’ Moguls” from the Nashville scene you valorize? When you say, “‘Shug’ Jay-Z”…For one, it’s “Suge,” not, “Shug.” Suge Knight. Jay-Z.... | |
| Beyonce releases first album in six years RENAISSANCE @frogman We all look back and laugh at the ridiculous prudishness of people sanctimoniously reading the lyrics to “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” and “Good Golly Miss Molly” with a comically haughty tone. It’s a very unintentionally funny thing to... | |
| Beyonce releases first album in six years RENAISSANCE I’m not sure which people just say, “hey, you can’t criticize (blank) because that person is (blank).” I’ve never heard someone use sexual/gender identification or ethnicity as a defense for someone’s behavior. If I did, I would say, “that is ext... | |
| How To Write a Hit Song (#1) Funny. I was just thinking, as I read about Beyoncé being pressured (and ultimately capitulating) to changing her “offensive” lyrics, that I find the impossibly stupid, cliche-ridden, inane lyrics to just about every top-ten song (especially the ... | |
| Not a question, but a comment. In the words of the late, great Norm Macdonald: “It’s more of a comment, really.” | |
| Can you vote on this song, 1 being brilliant, 5 being crap 4 | |
| MoFi controversy You make some good points. $125 is a lot of money for a 12-inch album sleeve and the cachet of the vinyl experience. I phrase it that way because: What other features of this product would benefit the consumer should the sound be comparable (or i... | |
| Roots, a question for younger audiophiles, how did you start your journey? Mid ‘10s: purchased Clearaudio Concept w/Maestro v2 cartridge. Knew nothing about audio at the time. Ignorantly made vast improvement to source when I could’ve just gone to thrift store and found a good, working, vintage receiver for an infinites... | |
| Billie or Ella? Maria or Renata? Technique or feeling? @stuartk ”an improvisatory language.” That’s not vague at all. Any kind of fancy, martini-clinking music with improvisation in it? Okay. I’ll just wear a tux to my next gig and start scatting and getting all busy with my extemporaneous playing... | |
| what do you call a part of a song where there’s no music and just random audio An interlude | |
| Ever Damage A Stylus Using Cleaning Brush? @audphile1 Hey, no need to worry 🤣. I take care of that very well on my own, even under the best of circumstances. I have been wondering for a while if things sound amiss, constantly vacillating between contentment and anxiety. Those cantilevers... | |
| Ever Damage A Stylus Using Cleaning Brush? Considering my concern for my stylus now, having read Fremer’s article regarding the hazards of the Onzow Zerodust (which I’ve used regularly for years, every side, at least two quick dips at a time) I’m feeling like I need to trade in my Clearaud... | |
| Ever Damage A Stylus Using Cleaning Brush? @audphile1 Damn. Thanks for that article. That sucks. |
