HELP Turning off the Left Brain
I agree with newbee. You sound like you are bored. You might consider shifting gears. Try some new music- Different music. Borrow from your friends, the library, or even your computer or the radio. Also consider that if you just havent been feelin... 
Where do you find new music?
I agree that satalite radio is a good source. As usual, my older brother pointed me in the right direction and I resisted. It is just fine for sampling music, and it has actually provoked me to buy more music. As a result, I like my stereo just a ...

Thoughts about these forums
I say you should not have to behave in any way you do not feel like behaving, for whatever reason. If you do not want to be insensitive, do not be insensitive. If you do not want to act absurdly, dont do it! These are all each persons definitions ... 
Integraded Amp
Integrated amplifiers with tone controls are out there. My denon has them, and maybe only because it is not that good! A way out! Or elsewhere? I have not used them once in 5 years, and when I bought the denon I tended to think a good amplifier wo...

Cyndi Lauper & Tom Waits in Phantom of the Opera
I believe Cyndi lauper had ambitions to sing opera early in her musical training. Didnt much care for anything she did before I heard "Sisters Of Avalon" I was impressed. I imagine a pairing with Tom Waits should make for some impressive improv. 
Anyone know anything about Eleanor McEvoy?
I had her first recording for years and didnt think much of it. I just got YOLA having read this post. I dont how it compares with other of her efforts, but I do like it considerably better than what I had. A good recording- low key, but as notice... 
What is the MOST audiophile friendly city ???
Berkeley,CA. My experience in Berkeley leads me to believe that a person could live a full audiophile experience with lots of validation. This is not to say there would not be those people who would be critical. Some might feel that stereo systems...

Nicole Mullens "Talk About It". Iris Dement "lifeline". Natalie Merchants " House Carpenters Daughter". Of the 3 cds I mention here Nicole Mullens contribution is the most uplifting and out and out musical. Its fun. I like Dements and Merchants re... 
Unintended lyrics
I always thought it was " Baby, I wanna go down on you" No Wonder my grandmother always got upset when I was singing along with that song. " Rich fag jew" is offensive!

More personal effort in audiogon or our jobs?
I actually love work. There I feel challanged, but at the same time I also feel experienced. I know something about what I do, and what I dont know I enjoy figuring out. Here, I dont know. I have little experience, and I am more or less out of my ...
