Happy Birthday!!

That was very cool (sampled through it but will watch in full later)! Loved that they did Swamp Thing by The Chameleons!

Shit....another legend (on and off the stage!)....RIP Harry.

Tracey's voice has definitely "aged" - not necessarily in a bad way. Their new album Fuse is pretty nice, they kept going with the modern sound and it's quite good (as much as I loved their more ballad-like songs).

Just saw a news announcement about one of these speakers (LM3). Lovely looking things for sure! Lorenzo LM2 and LM3

^^^ Agreed....one of my favorite Floyd songs, and the video is too "manic" for it.....some very nice spots though!!

Happy Belated, hope it was truly grand!

Happy Birthday!!

I have no good advice to give....but my gut tells me YOUR gut instinct is a good one. If there's a way to be a "Gay Mentor" I'd say maybe try to do that.... But that's just a random thought. Wishing you - and him - the best!

Man, I miss George.....and Bill Hicks, too.....

Good luck Brent! But in regards to the above....please don't https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/09/world/asteroid-collision-risk-2046-nasa-scn/index.html

Agreed, Craig. I used to love to pour through my dad's copies of Mad.... To this day, I still remember one cartoon that I repeated to my son. A kid is bugging his dad and keeps saying something like, "Dad lookit....lookit what I'm doing....lookit, lookit, lookit....!" And the dad then retorts, "I'm lookiting!!" Don't know why that stuck with me, but I still use it occasionally.....

Russian Red - Fuerteventura. Similar in sound to several other light folk/pop artists, but something about her sets it apart and causes me to like her more than most....

Redefining "Wall of Sound" I guess.....

Done! Good luck!

Saw on FB, made me mildly chuckle....

So I have been trying out cables, and spending more than I normally would for some wonderful silver ones that seem to make a VERY noticeable improvement....as a result, Audiogon "recommends" for me the following.... I think one of these things is not like the other 😄

Oh, man, that sucks....RIP to yet another legend gone!

Very Happy Birthday!!!

Hope you both feel better soon, Shelly and Ric!

Voena - Voices Of The Heart. Amazing children's choir, taking on some very good music, and doing it well! Fairly good recording as well...

RIP Israel "Zuny" Zelitch. 99 years old, he was in the same Independent/Assisted Living facility as my mother-in-law. In times after his wife passed, and my father-in-law was gone, he was a wonderful companion to her. She passed in June 2021, he just passed today. A brilliant and fascinating man, not much for idle conversation but had some fascinating stories. Also a major part of local Yiddish organizations, and very well known in that community. Unfortunately he was unconscious soon after catching COVID recently, was moved to hospice where his son (wearing basically a hazmat suit) got to say goodbye. A woman from that Yiddish community was called and they held the phone to his ear while she spoke; he actually twitched his eyes several times. Shortly thereafter, he passed. One link with info about him: https://portal.ct.gov/CAES/ABOUT-CAES/Staff-Biographies/Israel-Zelitch Karen and I had met his son and daughter-in-law years back, when our kids went to the same after-school program. We also found out his son's wife was my neighbor growing up! We got to reconnect after we found out Zuny was his dad. Karen was able to share some stories about Zuny and her mom that his son was so thankful to hear. Just a wonderful family, and a fascinating man. RIP Zuny, you may have two women vying for your attention now! 🙂

Agreed with ^^ My favorite comment on FB by a friend: "Next year, U2 should come out with Songs Of Retirement"

Very Happy Birthday Al!!

There's a very cute movie, She's Having A Baby; very clever IMO and I enjoyed both Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern in it. Kate's song This Woman's Work is very wonderfully placed in that movie. EDIT: the whole soundtrack is actually quite good.
