| Obscure bands A few bands I'd like to see get more recognition...one defunct, two still recording.No longer active: The Standard...check out a fine trilogy of albums by them: Wire Post to Wire; Swimmer; Albatross.Still active: Nada Surf...been around a while... | |
| Bent stylus or normal? ~5-10 degrees off horizontal when looking directly from the front hockey - Based on that VinylEngine thread (great thread, by the way) I assume you are returning the Shure?If you haven't yet, It would probably be help to reverse leads from your TT and see if the crackling moves to the other channel. Also, do yo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogmanAs requested..A link to Andy’s very good "Earth + Sky". Unfortunately not the entire album - something of a playlist mix - but you can tell the tracks that are from E+S by the album cover. I hold Andy’s post-Police solo work in high regard... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hard to keep up with the scintillating discussion here, so if you’ll pardon this potential non-sequitur, I thought I’d add a little more fuel to the fusion fire (lest it peter out). Frogman might enjoy this if no one else (though I hope others do)... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Hey N...I’m very happy with the SP4s. I had some ClearDay double shotgun speaker cables I was running before. I liked them a lot but needed a bit more length. Can’t remember what made me go Morrow and not stay with Clear Day. The Clear Day cable r... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Hey N...not 100% certain, I have to go back and listen to a few of those old YouTube videos. On one of them the band gets introduced by an off camera announcer. I think Cuby is pronounced, COO-BEE.The thing that put me on to C&The B was that... | |
| Obscure bands Hello again, Marty - so I did look up Chicken Shack on Wikipedia. You are thinking of Chris Wood maybe who joined Traffic? OR possibly others (including Webb) who joined Savoy Brown. The Chicken Shack/Savoy Brown connection I did not know about.... | |
| Obscure bands Hey Marty - Remember Chicken Shack? No....Aware it was the band Christine McVie nee Perfect came from? Yes.Here's another from around that time: Killing Floor. Of note to me because that's where Lou Martin (pianist with Rory Gallagher) came fro... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2KSJ0ld5Ls Here's an older version (and maybe more original) of the Cuby & The Blizzards "hit", Windows of My Eyes. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIC1vvP2IpE N- man, check this out. Dunno if you will like. Almost 50 years old but it still works (at least for me). Back in the day before MTV and fashion poisoned things.Another good one from Cuby and the boys (G... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Hello Nutty - Found City Boy on Spotify. Listening to Dinner at the Ritz right now. They remind me of Queen quite a bit (vocal harmonies and something about one of the guitars).Your Radar Love comment reminded me of a related Netherlands band, tha... | |
| Obscure bands How obscure arcam?Does Greg Kihn qualify? What about Dwight Twilley (w/Phil Seymour)??But if Joy Division, Wishbone Ash, Uriah Heep, & Spooky Tooth are considered obscure, then I guess these two will stand. Cuby & The Blizzards should defi... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I've been checking that "Obscure Bands" thread Nutty but haven't yet tried to find or listen to City Boy yet. There is just so MUCH to listen to...it's incredible. Thank goodness for Spotify and YouTube. If I can't find it on the Spot, I check ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus - No problem that you didn’t care for the MMW. I am a bit surprised but can handle differences in taste AND always appreciate getting a politely delivered alternative point of view. I don’t listen to hip hop on any regular basis. If that g... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? PS - So I know nothing about Gov't Mule except that a neighbor whose music taste I respect was raving about Warren Hayes. I went on the Spot to see what of GM they had. Saw something called, Dub Side of the Mule which struck me as a little odd. ... |
