  1. Arab-American Live Recordings vol. 2: Boston in the 1960s
  2. Nah..., but I right the thongs that make the whole world thing.
  3. Tranquilo sueño de verano by Love Dolls
  4. Ray was probably the best boss I ever had.
  5. Recommended Records was the place to get your RIO fix in those days - either by going there or thru the Megacorp quarterly/distribution service. Wonderful titles.
  6. ‘One of a kind’ poet, DJ and jazz scholar
  7. This luscious beauty arrived a while back. Actually, I'm reading and listening to it. They do such an amazing job on their releases and this is a deluxe version (70 copies - sold out) compilation showing their variety. The video explains what they do. Always been completely overwhelmed by their work and this one is right up there with the others. Their approach to artistic packaging is so in-line with my ideas about how people's sound-art should be presented that it's such a joy to have these. Time Released Sound
  8. He pointed out that it's lowercase, so he's correct. As for our station, it's a Pacifica station, and therefore very progressive with a large number in the community leaning our way. In other words, they "get" it.
  9. I didn't say that it has to be an anything-goes forum Dan. It can be only about playing baseball on Mars, if you like.
  10. For my 400th radio show, I've excerpted a half-hour from my very first show. The show was about Independence Day and has a couple of skits that are parodies on America's treatment of Native Americans. The first broadcast didn't raise any concerns, but it is now almost 8 years later - and people seem to bristle even more without a care or understanding of parody. How people will react to Firesign Theatre or Stan Freberg these days makes me wonder if there's room for parody anymore, but now it's potentially spilling into socio-politico areas that most of us aren't here to discuss.
  11. I know of two guys who are not savvy tech guys who left one music community and opened up their own "anything-goes" community using "Simple Machines Forum" - which is a free, easy-to-use forum creator. It would free things up for J.A. in that there wouldn't be this need for funding reminders. Simple Machines Forum A sample of a forum using this software:
  12. Yes, having the donations tab working would be a plus. I've given twice in the past year, yet it doesn't show so I can't tell if it's been received. I guess I'll look over at my Paypal history.
  13. I've used Chrome for many years - still do. I'm in Mac's "El Capitan" (10.11) and allmusic comes up just fine. It features, at the top of the page, an "in Memoriam" for Damo Suzuki. 😢
  14. While hearing aids can't reverse neural changes, they can help the brain better process the sounds that it does receive. The brain has a certain plasticity that can learn to interpret sounds more effectively with the help of hearing aids, thereby partially compensating for the changes in neural pathways. It doesn't necessarily "fill in" the missing audio, but actually, thru amplification, improves the brain's ability to process speech and other sounds, even if the neural pathways are not as efficient as they once were. The brain learns to interpret the amplified signals more effectively, which can improve comprehension and the ability to distinguish sounds in complex auditory environments.
