  1. One of my favorite female vocalist.
  2. I like the original, but this version eclipses it IMO. The video brings even more emotion to the song. Even Trent said that the song was no longer his song, after seeing this video. Oddly enough when Rick Rubin, along with other songs, first sent it to Johnny he got no response. So, he sent another tape of songs, with Hurt as the first song on the tape. Still no response. Finally he just outright told Johnny that he thought it would be a great song for him to record. By this time he trusted Rick, so he agreed to record it. I think it's one of his best works.

    Big things don't always have to be threatening. Well, OK, maybe most of the time.
  4. Won't argue that, but will add that Etta James comes in 2nd place. Some of my favorite Billie recordings are those from later in her life. Her voice is diminished for sure, but you can hear and feel the pain even more.

    It's mute anyway, as they're a half a million dollars.

    I've been a Vivid Audio fan for some time. Now they've upped the game for sure.
  7. And yet I think even a Schwinn is wasted on him. Surely a Huffy is more fitting.
  8. At first I thought we had a little quake here on the West coast. Then I realized it was Brent having an orgasm. Ewww!
  9. Is that a biscuit holder on the downtube?
  10. Hadn't heard of it. Loved BoB. I'll check it out.
  11. Is that some kind of heterosexual innuendo?
  12. Someday we'll have to try out the mortising function.
  13. My favorite router table plan is still the Woodsmith plan that Al and I built 6 1/2 years ago.
  14. I really do think that a router table is something that should be built as apposed to bought. It's a pretty basic project, and it's great to build to the size your shop will accommodate. And accessories can be built to need.
