| Explain the asthetics of Punk I was in college in the late 1970s and had the great good fortune of having a few friends who turned me on to some fabulous music. I really liked The Clash and The Jam (and still listen to Paul Weller, for what it's worth). There were several camp... | |
| Explain the asthetics of Punk I don't remember who first said it, but some wise man (and wiseacre) once observed that punk music had to come along to remind us all that rock 'n' roll isn't supposed to sound like Fleetwood Mac. I couldn't imagine saing it any better. | |
| Any U2 Fans Here? Excellent news, Ryder. I'm willing to bet that you find more songs you like as you hear the disc a few more times. I'll admit to being predisposed toward liking the boys, but I really do think that this is their best album in quite some time. | |
| Any U2 Fans Here? Sure, the new album's sound quality can be really annoying -- I've found myself turning it down, too -- but there really are a whole bunch of great U2 songs on "No Line on the Horizon." I've played it over and over and have really found myself lik... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with “Big” sound? How about a pair of B&W 805s? I had some for a time and actually found that their sound was too big for my needs and desires. (First lived in an apartment, then a condo.) They, too, were not near their best at low listening levels, but once yo... | |
| Simple iTunes question Thanks so much, Jim and Theraiguy. I figured there had to be some way to do this, but I just couldn't figure it out. Now, this is so much better. | |

| dumb question...I apologize While there are ways to make this unimaginably complicated, here's a straightforward answer to get things going: You'd plug the RCAs from the turntable into the inputs of your external phono stage of choice, and then plug the outputs from that int... | |
| Heads up: New Marshall Crenshaw CD I was working in a record store back when Marshall Crenshaw's first record came out. Despite our having a jillion different promo titles to choose among, we all of us -- the owner, the manager, the hourly employees -- spun his fabulous record agai... | |
| Moving music from PC to Mac Thanks so much for your help! | |
| Moving music from PC to Mac Wow. It's that easy? I thought I was going to have to edit an xml file or something. | |
| Artists that sound alike - your best match-up I recently had the iTunes shuffle thing going while I was doing some other stuff around the house. One tune stopped me. I thought it was one of those Velvet Underground oddities from the box set, but when I checked the computer, it was Jonathan Ri... | |
| Do you spend more on audio than your income allows Sure, but I spend more than my income allows on everything else, too! | |
| Best Albums Of 2008 I'd add "Stay Positive" by The Hold Steady to the list. The album I kept on coming back to over and over and over again last year. |
