It's just as well, I'm actually glad the Who released a tight, single LP. For the most part the best songs made it on there. I tried shuffling some songs around to replicate Lifehouse but it's too up in the air. I keep looking through the wikipedia pages and I keep having the same reaction. "Oh...

Lifehouse - there a good, polished re-creation?

Has anyone tried building a Lifehouse from the best pre-existing recordings like Who's Next, the singles, etc?

Yeah, everytime I tell someone about it, they get turned off by the 15 1/2 hour remark, but it was a television mini-series, broken up (for the most part) into hour long segments...I mean, c'mon, if you told someone "Hey, season one of 24 is awesome," they don't moan, "Aw shit, you wa...

Yeah, they TOTALLY should've made a 5.1 mix. I think they didn't because Lanois wasn't available - I think any 5.1 mix would require his presence, contractually speaking. I haven't heard the original CD, but I wonder what was used when they first did Infidels . If they were REALLY lazy, did they gra...

What a fucked up, shitty-ass forum it's become. You wanna alleviate the problem? Strip some of those gorts of banning privelages. They want to ban someone? Require approval from 2 or 3 other gorts. "I guess you think, ya know, you're an authority figure. With that stupid fucking uniform. Huh, b...

Thaksin: Thailand's Bush Junior

BANGKOK, Thailand - For many in Thailand, it was a clash between two images: an arrogant prime minister who hates to lose, and a humble king who always wins. Simply by endorsing the general who has seized power, revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej has essentially given his blessing to the bloodless Tues...

Dolly Parton - RCA Years

I don't know if there are any Dolly Parton fans here, at least fans of her primo early work, but I sampled three sets of CD's: The RCA Years 1967-1986 (2 CD box set) Mission Chapel Memories 1971-1975 (Australian import) The Essential Dolly Parton (2 CD jewel case compilation) Glenn Meadows mastered ...

A bit OT, but I remember reading somewhere that the ACLU (at least the national organization...not state chapters like the ACLU of Michigan) became far more politicized in the early 90's...that's probably too vague, but I think the idea was, when you look at the cases they accepted and the briefs th...

Sorry, I have no usable turntable and no vinyl. Is the DCC LP stereo? I think Hoffman had access to the original masters, so if you like vinyl and prefer the stereo mix, I'm sure you can't go wrong. BTW, anyone recall some ancient post from Hoffman stating that the original RCA CD was actually prett...

If anyone cares, the MFSL Tumbleweed is on Pedro's. Same with MFSL's gold CD of Clapton's 461 Ocean Blvd.

BTW, what's going on with Pedro's? Is that kid still sending info to the authorities?

I've got the first issue of the TBC box, and it sounds kind of dull and uninteresting to me. Not exactly bad (and certainly not squashed, since it predated hypercompression), just unmemorable. Inoffensive, I guess you could say. I could throw up a quick MP3 sample if you like. I don't know if the 1...
