| Sigur Ros - Best Recordings? @baylinor + 1 - I saw Sigur Ros a number of times when they were first touring the US; wonderful band so reminiscent in feel to the 'Krautrock' music scene (Tangerine Dream, Faust, Neu, etc) of the early-mid 70's. Very atmospheric, and when they b... | |
| Y'all gettin' an early start for all the big sales this weekend! I've not been able to determine how to put a photo on a post, and not just a link - how is it done? | |
| livestream concerts @petaluman - a Moonalice fan - yeah!! Before the pandemic, they used to play one Wednesday during each summer month in Union Square, and I live about 2 blocks from there! They'd play from 6 - 8 pm, and they'd almost always bring along the maze of ... | |
| livestream concerts Ah, but this wouldn't apply if you're just looking for shows that are currently going on while you're watching. I put those there because they WERE live streams at one point in the past.. | |
| livestream concerts There's a great Bay Area jam/Grateful Dead style band called Moonalice, and they record every show (and that's a lot of shows) on audio and video available to watch on their website; here's the link to the 2025 shows, but they've got them for ever... | |
| Genesis @bzawa - That's great that you checked out Strange Days, and I'm glad you enjoyed them. They put out that one album of 6 songs, and then disappeared; the keyboard player is/was in the Glitter Band (post Gary) but the others seem to have vanished w... | |
| Genesis If you like story/songs like 'Get 'em Out by Friday', I would recommend the one and only album called '9 Parts To the Wind' by a band called Strange Days back in 1975. Graham Ward, who plays guitar, sings, and writes all the songs would have been ... | |
| Immersed in the Music @mattmiller + 1 | |
| Genesis Couldn't disagree more with LordMelton except for hating 'Battle of Epping Forest', but I prefer their albums that don't have anything I hate on them. @scottya118 - Yeah, 'Seven Stones' is awesome, yeah? I never got into that when I first got th... | |
| Buyer Beware @saugertiesbob + 1 | |
| HOW can components be so expensive, and yet customer service is so bad. @jfrmusic - totally agree about MSB. Every time I've contacted them about something, I've heard back from either their long-time sales manager Vince or the CEO within a day, generally, and they are very helpful. The CEO got back to me when I asked... | |
| What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you? The closest I've come to that is when I just cannot decide what music to put on, so I just watch a series or a movie on the telly instead. | |
| Critical listening and altered states @sns - Indeed, when I was in college and taking lots of hallucinogens, some of which we even knew what they were, we were reading all those Castaneda books. One of my best friends' dad made 'Altered States'. | |
| Critical listening and altered states THC is not considered a 'hallucinogen', I don't think, but I can testify that with a high enough dose, one can visually hallucinate.... I'll see if that happens later today after consuming a salad with cannabis salad dressing about 30 minutes ago... | |
| Help! Pre amp turning on by itself. I'd guess that it's being turned on by a remote elsewhere, but you can't rule out poltergeists.... |
