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.

It's been a while since I pulled out any Led Zeppelin.....this is so fine! GREAT music!

Hope it is/was an awesome birthday!!!

I actually don't mind AudioGD stuff, have a couple of their cheaper items in the past. But every time I see their name I can't help but picture this in my head

Steve, in reply to your "octave" comment 🙂 EDIT: I think I've seen that performer you linked previously....can't remember where....

I have an ex-work-colleague who's good friend was caught up in that crap, and he's in jail now. He wanted to be a MA State Trooper but was getting too old, so someone suggested he try for Baltimore PD. He got in, and stayed pretty clear of the bad crap. But it roped him up, in that he got calls by crooked cops asking him to bring a spare gun to a scene and the like. And even though he didn't, the records show he got those calls so he was included in the prosecutions. A really sad state of affairs....

Oh, man, my wife will especially be sad to hear that. RIP, and may his memory be a blessing.

Happy Birthday!

I've been loving some reaction videos, mostly to Heilung, recently. One favorite is a woman who goes by "The Charismatic Voice" and she is quite the Heilung fan-girl; she is amazing at picking music apart. Another was a woman, whose outburst of "Holy Shitballs" may be my single most favorite reaction expression....

Holy shit....brilliant and scary at the same time....he's gooooood......
