| How can they not effect the sound To anyone who wants to reclaim the feeling of late 60s/early 70s free-form FM radio, or are interested in what it was like, there is a music podcast called Radio Free Gunslinger that perfectly captures it. There were 120 episodes and they are arch... | |
| Favorite Cover Album Petra Haden Sings The Who Sell Out - and by singing I mean reproducing every sound on the album as mouth music. There's also Petra Haden Goes to the Movies. The Susanna Hoffs/Matthew Sweet Under the Covers series goes through pop music decade by ... | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? $50 is what it's actually worth. You just paid $1200 for it. If it were me, my conscience could stand it. Anyway, if it's not what you thought you were buying then obviously it would be worth less than what you paid, wouldn't it? | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? Chico Freeman, Spirit Sensitive. Harry Lookofsky, Stringsville. Keith Jarrett, Facing You. George Winston, maybe? | |
| Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis I love Chet Baker as a singer but as an instrumentalist he never registered with me. As far as Baker v. Miles goes it's like comparing Frodo to one of the Ents. | |

| Modern Covers of Classics The fellow suggesting the full album cover of Dark Side of the Moon brings to mind Petra Haden singing ever vocal and instrumental part of The Who Sell Out. Petra Haden in general is someone to look into. | |
| Modern Covers of Classics Matthew Sweet, Dave Matthews, whatever, he's obviously not the main attraction. | |
| Modern Covers of Classics Seu George's covers of David Bowie. Also Butterfly Boucher's cover of Changes that Bowie liked so much he dubbed in additional vocals on it. The Under the Covers series by Susanna Hoffs and Dave Matthews. There's always Bryan Ferry. If you're ... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? Audiophiles are born by hearing music on a system of someone who has better equipment than he has. We are certainly no longer in the era of audio stores on every street corner, but so long as there's a saving remnant there's no reason why things m... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby I think it's something you do for pleasure. Is sex a hobby? | |
| Dickie Betts died earlier today at 80 years of age Jessica is one of the great rock and roll instrumentals. It just soars. |
