| Shipping Expensive Speakers? WATCH OUT Yes, that is one of the possibilities I considered, but with the mileage fees it makes the radius for my search all that smaller. BTW I laugh when I see U-Haul vans with the advert on the side saying $19.95 to rent it. You go there and realize tha... | |
| Angriest Lyric/Vocal How about Strange Fruit, the Billy Holiday song, angry in a slow burn way. Does heavy metal count? | |
| Angriest Lyric/Vocal "Idiot Wind" is way up there. Graham Parker does have a select few. as do "The Pogues". Oh you want titles? I'm getting old, I forget... | |

| Electrolytic capacitors Don't worry, caps can be replaced. | |
| Cable Elevators This is insanity writ large: "... synthetic materials (such as a nylon carpet) will store energy (picking it up from the flow of current through the cable) and will then release that stored energy randomly. This random release of stored energy bac... | |
| Cable Elevators Wwshull would you care to elaborate on your electrical flow theory? I thank you for your co-operation. | |
