| Unscrupulous ebay buyers You said, “no returns.” End of story. This buyer either, a) failed to comprehensively read the terms before buying (this wasn’t some sleazy ‘fine print’ situation, but a conspicuously stated term) b) is an extremely entitled person, c) is scamm... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @stuartk No, not at all. I like this album’s sound. I listen to all manner of music. Music audiophiles would turn away like a rotten fish because it doesn’t sound like Diana Krall, Brothers in Arms, Aja, or Dark Side of the Moon. My liking this ... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones @bigtwin At a birthday party for Mick Jagger in ‘68, at a really popular joint in London called the Vesuvio Club, the place was going crazy listening to an advance pressing of the upcoming Stones LP, Beggar’s Banquet that Mick had brought along to... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @northman Gotcha. Don’t know that LP. But, yeah, no, he’s nowhere near the first rapper. | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? @simonmoon What are the sources from which you are exposed to so much great new music? | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @northman “Of course Lou Reed was the original wrapper ….” Not sure if you’re joking. 1926: “Talking Blues” - Chris Bouchillon 1926: “Can’t You Wait Till You Get Home” - Frankie Jaxon 1929: “Atlanta Strut” - Blind Willie McTell (still one of t... | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? I got nothing against Gordon Lightfoot, but if “historical events” is what we’re talking about, I don’t see how we could skip the obvious: Bob Dylan. The depth, subtext, humor, wit and complexity of his “historical events songs” blows any puffed u... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? @clearthinker You nailed it. You broke it down perfectly in terms of the machinations of distribution today compared to the past. Your comment on how relatively unrewarding it is seeking out new music today compared to the past was insightful. ... | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl @mijostyn “There are bad albums that might have one good song. I will download the one good song and put it in one of my background play lists.” This👆 A totally sensible way to procure and enjoy music with both formats. | |
| Beatles vs. Stones @bigtwin I’m something of a film buff. I watch anything and everything from any time and anywhere in that medium. Obviously, a) Get Back is not a traditional documentary, it’s closer to an archaeological film product, b) documentaries can’t be... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones @bdp24 Love The Kinks. Generally go for them over Stones, can’t say necessarily the same w/Beatles. Beatles are just…too good. I could certainly, however, produce a “short novella” on my love of The Kinks. I consider Sgt. Pepper’s long-held stat... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @stager ad ho·mi·nem (ˈ)ad-ˈhä-mə-ˌnem. -nəm. : appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect. an ad hominem argument. : marked by or being an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made - “B... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time The familiarity factor, or perhaps even the nostalgia factor may indeed have caused the notably higher positivity in responses. Obviously this statement I’m about to make is entirely subjective, but I would posit that the music of the artists I li... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time It’s really irrelevant to bring up canonical songs by Carter Family (very nebulous attribution of ‘authorship’ here, but I think it’s fair to say a mixture of originality and traditional-recitation occurred here, and the profundity of the influenc... | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl Everything about vinyl is fun. Browsing them, buying them, looking at them, playing them, it's all fun. I know some will say the inconveniences outweigh the positives (or at least cancel them out) which I can appreciate. Of course there will ... |
