| Alex Chilton RIP Back on topic, I'll still take Alex, even solo (in fact, especially solo!) over all that later egghead non-rock he's alleged to be somehow responsible for...and that goes for the Posies too. (Sorry AC but it had to be said. By me at least.) Nice g... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? E: Dunno about "Expecting..." as fave NY period for me, but with BS, maybe so -- certainly the most distinctive (ignoring the production on "Broken Arrow"). "I Am A Child" on that last LP ain't too shabby either however... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yes we have no Famous Blue Raincoats today (nor will we ever ;^)Buffalo Springfield - "Last Time Around" [Atco '68] Not a real big BS fan, or Steven Stills generally -- just Neil Young, but there's hardly any of him on this oneAntonio Carlos Jobim... | |

| Alex Chilton RIP LJ -- Agree about Chris Bell, and I do dig some of AC's solo stuff including "Like Flies On Sherbet" and "Bach's Bottom". Not for everybody I suppose, but if you can get with inspired shambling then there's nothing quite like it (most who shamble ... | |
| Alex Chilton RIP Tfk: Of his era maybe, but only because of something that's always struck me as kind of ironic, since Chilton did gain a degree of early fame as singer of the Box Tops' big hits, before doing the more obscure work with Big Star that wound up havin... | |
| recommendations for tube dampers??? Hi Kats, not saying that tubes are never worth it or that SS sounds tube-like, just that to my ear the flaws I often perceived which made much SS a musical compromise, seem to have been proven largely solvable by this point. (And I know one leadin... | |
| recommendations for tube dampers??? I think you're right BW, I should've put an exclamation point or two after the phrase "eight years ago"!! But I got posted-out on audio a while back and have mostly sworn it off since. However it's nice to get a welcome wagon rather than flamed fo... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Don't ask Rush! ;^)(Okay, I'm not exactly a big Queen or White Stripes fan, but I do have to admit I don't know who Thunderbolt Pagoda are...) | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? ...My little screed about Buddy Holly supposedly being the originator of what became, with the British Invasion, the prototypical 2-guitar/bass/drums rock group lineup, looks a mite incomplete without acknowledging that as is well known, the Beatl... |
