  1. Wow, this one hit like a gut punch.....RIP to an amazing person.

    I used to argue for her when so many were crapping on her for tearing up the pope's picture.  Compare that to what was done to thousands of kids BY that very church....

    Her voice was incredible, the passion of every song evident.

    RIP to a truly great one that did not deserve the bad she got.  May she truly rest in peace.

  2. Very stylish!  Even back to the chair....

    Maybe 2 years ago, I was on a call with a vendor/consultant and we were doing video, not just audio.  After the "business" portion of the call ended I asked him to stay on if he had time for something non-business.

    The background of his video showed some Focal speakers (in his NYC loft!).  They turned out to be Sopra 3's (> $25K/pr).  I joked that they were charging too much, but we ended up chatting audio and music for almost another 1/2 hour.  One of my favorite business calls ever.

  3. I lust a bit after those Buchardt Audio Anniversary 10's....they use the Purifi woofer, which is supposed to be a dynamic, high-excursion, low distortion, and really good sounding driver.....

    Are we possibly missing something here?  Wagner and the Russian army for the moment seems to have all of a sudden made nice nice regarding the supposed "coup". Wagner/Prigozhin has moved 25K+ men into southern Belarus where coincidently there have been 33K+ Russian soldiers recently redeployed there as well. Both groups seem to be located in southern Belarus which happens to be north of Kyiv Ukraine's capital.  Timely move for the Russians given Ukraine's counter offensive in the south of Ukraine where resources are concentrated. 

    This does still potentially scare me.  According to latest reports, negotiations have resulted in Wagner/Prigozhin in "exile" in Belarus in exchange for not being prosecuted.  The news is calling it a blow against Putin, but if somehow they reconcile, it indeed does leave a large force there for relatively quick deployment....

  5. As much as I grew up with and like/love many of those bands, I wouldn't pay that $ or face that crowd.

    I've been lucky enough to see my favorites, The Chameleons, several times in one form or another.  And they definitely still have "it."
