Are You a Swifty?
@roxy54 so true. Her voice, like Beth ortons, is powerful yet divisive.    @immatthewj  I guess because his Melodies and his lyrics are so engaging. They're good enough I can Overlook his voice. @botrytis  idk, there are plenty of artists in my... 
Are You a Swifty?
Here's a reason article that puts it into a, for me at least, more understandable perspective. Like the writer says, I don't necessarily dislike Swift I'm just not affected by her at all. Her Artistry simply doesn't speak to me, no matter how much...

@immatthewj  I've been listening to Dylan for decades and decades and I've seen him in concert a few times and I still stand by the fact that he really does not know how to sing. However like all the people decrying Swift as being talentless, that...

No one ever accused Dylan of being able to sing

@tylermunns  a review of the new Swift album that echoes your observations about Antonoff. I agree with the review and so far as this new album is completely forgettable.   
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.

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?

@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 ...

@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...

@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 ...
