| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue Agreed. In a similar vein, I can never understand why revolver is so fawned over when it seems to be a disconnected series of individual Tunes with no cohesion. | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue Tylermunns kept referring to "female artist" when the OP actually said "female vocalist". There's a huge difference. The latter is an accepted musical category among listeners, and you'll find it on just about all the music Distributors and store... | |
| Room Acoustics, minimal treatment and measurements I love the Jim Smith 83% ratio for the listening triangle. It’s been a metric I’ve used religiously at every set-up | |
| Changes to Orchestra tuning. @frogman Question: why the oboe in particular? | |
| Are You a Swifty? @mahgister I sometimes look at it this way: how much of the music I listen to now do I think I'll still be listening to in 5 or 10 or even 15 years? And I think some music is perfectly fine to recognize as being of the five-year variety and then ... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @mahgister I don't think being old has anything to do with liking or not like Swift or Gaga or any contemporary music any more than being a 20-something has anything to do with loving Nina Simone or Julie London or Jean-Luc Ponty. For you it see... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @tylermunns at the risk of being unctuous myself, the term is "good'un", not 'goodin' Sheesh, along with the "That dog dont bite", you're about as folksy as a credit card. Anyhow, I can tell that you're defensive and thin-skinned, so I'm goin... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @tylermunns Nothing of what you've blathered about has struck a nerve save for the unctuous manner in which you blather. At least millercarbon had a sense of humor. And yes, I did say "legitimate art" as that's the conclusion one can reach about ... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @tylermunns Buddy, you can semantically parse your words all you want but, yes, you are enforcing a completely arbitrary and arrogant gateway for what can be considered legitimate art. I'm sorry, that's your opinion and I guess you're entitled to ... | |
| Danish Lust #1 thread title so far this year | |
| Are You a Swifty? @tylermunns look, I'm not arguing that we as a society are attracted by the superficial and hollow (and yes, I do lisyen to swift and have seen a few shows), but again, labeling her fans as vapid is snobbery at its finest. Are you without fau... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @tylermunns "Taylor Swift’s music and her cynical exploitation of the American’s need for vapid pablum." This kind of wrinkles me. I mean, I'm no Swift apologist or celebrator, but that quote above just reeks of cultural gatekeeping -- as if y... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @loomisjohnson +1 | |
| Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony has eclipsed Hana SL @markrj @rauliruegas Thank you both for replying. You're right in that the Maestro isn't as detailed as the Hana, but it does provide a wider soundstage. However, it's a moot point as either the suspension or the cantilever on the Hana is out of ... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @allenf1963 Fascinating. 1. No one under 90 has used "ROTFLMAO" since, like, 2010. 2. The DNC is contributing to what's apparently wrong with music today? 3. "less than mediocre" - enough said. 4. Yes, for four pages - to which you've no... |
