| Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ @nmolnar great pun! @devinplombier I agree generally with your point about the lack of receptivity, even tolerance, of different opinions in discussions of our hobby; though I think both sides of the debate you detail should back off a bit. Both ... | |
| Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ I don’t care if some or even most audiophile products are snake oil. I trust my ears. I don’t care if a lot of audiophile products are overpriced. I have a budget. I don’t care if a lot of audiophile products are marketed as status symbols or ey... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? @rockadanny @sns I too was in Detroit in the late 60s and saw all the locals. We had an impressive scene! An early fave of mine was The Frost. The Grande hosted a lot of local bands in its first year or two: the Psychedelic Stooges, the 5, the Fru... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @immatthewj Elephant may bowl you over; it’s gripping. Snowpiercer is a rollercoaster ride, a genre in which I think Bong Joon Ho excels. Get out the popcorn and hold on. I haven’t seen American dreamer, but I’m a big fan of Matt Dillon. And, I, t... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. I arrived late to this conversation, but I’m really glad I found it. Thanks to all who took time to share your faves! The list of recommended films I haven’t seen is looong and will, I predict, provide for many hours of movie watching joy. And, it... | |
| Band/artist documentaries. I don’t think anyone mentioned Song of the South: The rise of Duane Allman and the Allman Brothers Band, which I enjoyed and recommend. | |
| Band/artist documentaries. I’ve enjoyed many of the documentaries mentioned above. One documentarian not mentioned yet whose films are well worth tracking down is Les Blank. He’s done some really good work with blues musicians, particularly Lightnin’ Hopkins. Look for: The... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? I was thrilled and couldn’t agree more with many lyrics noted above. Here are a couple others that rattle around in me. No, don't ask me to apologize I won't ask you to forgive me - Elvis Costello I’m not giving in an inch to fear - David Crosby | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? ..:Well, I don't exactly know What's going on in the world today Don't know what there is to say About the way the people are treating Each other, not like brothers Leaders take us far away from ecology With mythology and astrology Has got some w... | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles A thread full of gracious companionship. What a delight! Like a morsel of my wife’s lovely meatloaf or a sip of a British cream ale! | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @bzawa @immatthewj That's Springsteen? That's quite good. Is it from Jungle Land? The lyrics are the opening verse of Thunder Road, from the same lp as Jungleland. At the risk of beating a dead horse, I have a slightly different take on Sp... | |
| Favorite rock/pop male voices A few I didn’t see above: Willie DeVille Gene Clark Mississippi John Hurt Sam Cooke Wilson Pickett Carl Wilson Delaney Bramlett James Carr | |
| Send in the Clowns @acefactory Well said! Thank you. | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? You already have a wonderful survey of core jazz recordings, but there still are a few contemporary sax players worth calling to your attention: John Zorn - he is incredibly eclectic and prolific. I think he averages nearly 10 releases a year, in... | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) Lots of excellent examples above, but I didn’t see any P-Funk covers. Several are great. Here’s my fave. https://www.discogs.com/master/16158-Funkadelic-Maggot-Brain/image/SW1hZ2U6Mjk2MzIzMQ==?srsltid=AfmBOorp1IORDbalHdiSuBsFf06Ic-qsA5mDjzo9Ax8PE... |
