| Your last concert was to see who and when? @tomaswv -- Saw them last month here in StL at Jazz at the Bistro. Sat right in front of David King. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? My band played the after-party for Jeff Tweedy, so we all got free tickets to his show. | |
| Favorite band or artist of all time? I'm not a rabid Beatles fan, but I realized the other day that, when they finished recording "Abbey Road", their last recording, the oldest of them, Ringo, was 29.Harrison was only 26. And just 6 1/2 years had passed since their first album. Decry... | |
| Cd's to make a come back in the future? Plus, how may of us take a time-capsule tour when we go through friends' or spouse's cd collections that haven't been updated since the late 90's? | |
| Cd's to make a come back in the future? Many new car models are produced without CD players. Also, the concept of streaming and "on demand" music, especially for the under-27 generation, is an expectation, not a novelty. That said, whether you stream Tidal or Deezer or Spotify or Quboz ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dire Straights - "Love Over Gold"The codas on the title track and "Telegraph Road" are bliss. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yuko Mabuchi Trio - eponymous 45 lp. Beautiful live piano jazz trio from a gifted musician | |
| A Tidal/Deezer Streamer to augment Oppo 105? Actually, Deezer DOES stream at lossless FLAC. | |
| A Tidal/Deezer Streamer to augment Oppo 105? But I have an iPad that can handle anything. Plus a Macbook. I still play CD's - their sound is better than anything save my vinyl set-up and the FLAC files but, again, the Oppo won't do Deezer. | |
| A Tidal/Deezer Streamer to augment Oppo 105? Thanks. Yes, I use an XLR between the Oppo and the integrated. I wasn't sure whether to use Tidal lossless or Deezer lossless. My phone - an iPhone 4S -- can't load Deezer. | |
| Mirage 460's for $100 - good deal? Good speakers that blast well and resist the urge to be labeled audiophile. If you're looking for detailed soundstages with nuanced sonic layers, the MIrages just aren't built or designed for that. BUt if you want a good sounding pair of garage or... | |
| The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality) Wolf_garcia is right: there're so many contemporary jazz, folk, rap, and rock artists out there beneath the mass produced glaze of compressed and hook-obsessed club hits. You just have to shift your vision. | |
| The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality) I think the premise of this thread is flawed and a victim of the blinders of relative cultural and age perspective. I mean, by the OP premise, music has been in decline since Bach stopped writing music. Idk. Saying contemporary pop is in serious d... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @uberwaltz -- what a gorgeous album that is! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Dinka, Roald Velden, and Above and Beyond -- beautiful progressive house musicians all. |
