Best alternative CDs of 2007
I do like the Band Of Horses and New Pornographers releases but agree whole-heartedly on Rilo Kiley. They just peaked with Execution Of All Things and went downhill from there. 
Difference between Fubar II & III beside headphone
I just ordered a Fubar II. I'll let you guys know how I like it soon.

Thom have you heard Phosphorescent? Their newer album Pride is great but their masterpiece from a few years ago is titled Aw Come Aw Wry. Imagine Neutral Milk Hotel on valium. I like that album by The Field a lot. Some electronic stuff in that vei... 
Warner and Blu ray?
No joke Johnnyb53. I thought Mitch was kidding at first but he seems serious. I would NEVER watch a movie in 4:3...period. That would be the exact opposite of immersive to me because all I would be thinking about while watching it is that I'm miss... 
What's your favorite remake of a song
Mudhoney livens up The Rose bit! 
Best HDCD cd's ?
I was just going to say that you may already have a bunch and not even realize it...like all the Van Halen albums. 
dts question
Tiggerpooh...even a basic $40 dvd player should decode DTS. Are you sure you don't already have the ability to do this? 
10 best jazz SACD's ??
I'll add Brubeck's-Take Five to the small but growing list. Herbie Hancock's-Headhunters has an interesting/active surround mix and it's good music.

Portugal I like the David Sylvian/Holger Czukay album as well. I think the one Richard is referring to is titled Flux & Mutability. The second track(there's only 2 REALLY long tracks) is especially nice. I think you should check out steveroach... 
Can you test my internet radio station please
Well Mr. Psacanli, I've been in the electronic music scene for 18 years now and personally know many of these artists so I think that's good enough. The others will certainly not mind. I'm not playing The Beatles and Pink Floyd. If anyone thinks I... 
Can you test my internet radio station please
I ripped all the stuff at 192...maybe I'll lower the bit-rate to 160 to see if that helps. Thanks for the comments. I'm going to install a little plug-in for iTunes that will show listeners the artist/track soon.

I love Steve Roach for studying, reading & zoning out. A few of my favorites are The Magnificent Void and Structures Of Silence. 
ultimate compact travel system
I have the Dynaudios and they may be a tad bigger than you realize Jax2. It looks like Celtic66 wants a 5.1 system anyway and he already owns the Micropods. You would need $4000 worth of Pelican cases to just transport a 5.1 Dynaudio system. Now i...

Cfchew have you heard the Minutemen do Doctor Wu?
