Today they did an hour interview with Anthony Marinelli, who programmed the drums (LynnDrum machine) and the synths for all the parts on Michael Jackson's Thriller. (all the parts were played, one at a time, by Greg Phillinganes, over the course of two days). Fascinating discussion covering how...

When the hell did Mike Portnoy re-join Dream Theater?!?! Nobody tells me anything! This just blew my socks off. And Jordan Rudess adding anti-skid tape* to his keyboard is next-level badass! *after watching this a second time in a half-hour, they might've been Smurf band-aids; I can't...

I was really intrigued by the nice stereo systems I saw in dorm rooms my first year of college, 1978. I had a clock radio, but was soon hanging around Team Electronics and got a subscription to Stereo Review. Had my first nice system by 1979, and have been a fan since, and always held a...

And to continue on a Bond theme, how about two of them? The guitars didn't use the same tuning standard; let's call it extreme chorusing...

Here they interview Wendy Melvoin, guitarist who joined Prince at the ripe old age of 19 (and, today, she reminds me of... my Mom!). They start out discussing the funk of Earth Wind & Fire, talk a lot about how it was to work with Prince, and also bring up the exact same artists that I've held...

The late, great Roy Clark playing Malagueña; what a master!

L-110, that's it! I ended up with a pair of "new" Advents, which I still have and love.

Those JBLs were on my short list back in '79 (probably an earlier model). I love scrolling thru this thread every time it resurfaces. :thumbsup:

Bruno Mars has the Meidas Touch. He did a guest vocal on an unknown artist's album, Mick Mark Ronson (who?) and had one of the biggest hits in a decade, Uptown Funk. Then he paired up with a guy who I guess was a little more well-known (I hadn't heard of him, Anderson .paak), and released...

facebook just served me up a Blast from the Past. I actually have the BMB's Greatest Hits on vinyl!

I think I misfingered my remote after the PBS Newhour. Ran into a show called Office Space. Never seen it before, but I recognized so many memes. Realized it was a movie, not a series, so watched the whole thing. Brought so many memories back of floppies, printers, and evil bosses, not sure...

Love JBLs...

I think it may be outside your price range, but the Sony Bravia Theater Quad has caught my eye, and looks really flexible for different rooms.

When my Harmony 1's backup battery died, I was able to log and it reloaded my settings, but that was 5, 6 years ago. Keep us posted.

A 4-minute video of what it's sorta like to climb up Mt Everest, taken from a drone. I knew the trails were packed with "tourists", but... wow.

Norman Greenbaum, The Professor of Rock, a prototype Fuzztone pedal, a low-budget gospel chorus, and goats. This video made me so, so happy. PoR had been trying to find this guy for ten years, finally did via Kenny Loggins (!!), and the interview was so cool for music nerds like me. I've...

Hey Mike, I just heard some good news for you. The Wiim Ultra that I posted about in another thread is supposed to be released end of summer, and one of the features it includes is Room Correction software. I learned this morning from the "CheapAudioMan" ewetube that that software is also now...

No, not this. Amazon had the full CC number before I even got the card, and I didn't know the full number.

Thanks Tom, I‘ll check on that tomorrow.

They did some digging and just sent me an email this morning, and I called them about it; my CC number changed internally on my account with the CU, so when my old card was not authorized to make a monthly payment, it was reported to me with the new CC #. I then explained to him that, the way...
