Ray Charles - "Rap is not music"
An item of interest might be "monogenre-ism" vs "multigenre-ism"? Which is my way of asking how broad is the musical interest of an individual, or group? One CAN be a Mozart fan.  AND, an Elvis fan.  AND, a Beatles fan.  There are no conflicts he... 
Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
A couple of reasons we might stop listening to new music could be that your ex(es) left, took anything (and, everything) that could be flipped for cash, and the most musically satisfying device in your current possession is an LG sound bar. And, y... 
Incredible improvement in sound quality
I've heard that if you just squeeze in a few drops of high quality record-cleaning solution and vacuum it out ....  
More Cowbell
Laughter is an involuntary protest to the absurd, ridiculous.   That's why this is still funny after all these years.  
Ray Charles - "Rap is not music"
Okay, so Ray got up one fine morning, took a peek out the window, then retrieved the current copy of Billboard magazine from the mailbox and returned to his most favorite chair with a nice cup of coffee. It was then he discovered the growing popul...

Was Big Bad John by Jimmy Dean the first rap song? (asking for a friend)  
Why Are We Breaking Our Brains?
@edcyn Excellent points. I like your train of thought. These are personal questions, so I’ll do my best keep my comments relative to the subject. I played guitar and keyboard, and wasn’t very good at either one. I developed a fond admiration fo...

Why Are We Breaking Our Brains?

"Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time?
Hey, guys. Thanks for participating in the topic. My hope was that the title would be a giveaway that the topic was not to be taken too seriously. My goal was not to take an active position one way or the others, but to laugh at ourselves (from al... 
Why Are We Breaking Our Brains?
I'm so glad I'm a retired peddler and not a meteorologist.  I could not have predicted the s---storm this has created.  I'm just happy that I don't have an oscillating fan in the room.  
Beatles vs. Stones
@larsman 😀  
OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!.
I moved my wife's signed and framed Barry Manilow musical score OUT of my listening space. Focus and detail improved.   The collectible is still hanging on a wall.  Just not in my listening room.  She still likes me.  
Beatles vs. Stones
This is a bit like comparing the Bee Gee's and Barbara Streisand.   The Beatles and the Stones were very different bands.  
"Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time?
@arizonabob I can’t fundamentally disagree with your statement: "We hear what we want to hear, see what we want to see and have preconceived notions, probably dependent on how much $ spent, on what we ’should hear’" I would only add that many ...
