This is another group that my brother is involved in. The Richmond-Times Dispatch posted some footage of two selections on their site. Click Here Through a Glass Darkly The Silence Curious what y'all think...

I don't know. This is an album that I somehow came away with after a move in college. No idea who's it was. I'm pretty sure it is at my parents house buried underneath a stack of CDs behind some family pictures in their stereo cabinet. I honestly can't REMEMBER the music on it. I listened to it a couple of times, trying to figure out who's it was. I didn't think the music was that good personally. Maybe I owe chew chew another listen listen. Aside from still turning people on to Pet Sounds, I'm not a huge Beach Boys fan anyway, so I may not be the yard rule here.

I've been watching Lost since the beginning. I'm still hooked, though I do agree with you on the season. At this point, I'm just along for the ride. I had a feeling it was either Locke or Linus in the casket.

Without any details, this sounds like an upconverting player, like an oppo for instance.

When I first saw this ad, I thought she had a dirty bomb in her purse. It also looks like she is lip syncing the words to "Barbara Ann". I immediately wrote a letter to Dunkin Donuts.

I've heard it and I just don't hear it.

Dude. I swear I see Mother Mary in that tree. You should charge admission.

I love it. Especially "little-bitty". Probably has crooked fingers too I bet.

That's funny. I saw him four or five years ago, never having heard of him, and never hearing his name again since, and I thought he was damned good.

This thing was a monster. There is a reason the vibraphone looks like it does. If I find a picture, I'll post it here. Definitely nothing like a Rhodes. I understand what you are saying though.

I've always wanted to see the inside of a celeste. I've seen photos of a vibraphone rigged with a three octave keyboard. Each key strikes a vibraphone bar with a mallet. You play it as you would a piano. I guess the idea is to be able to play larger chords, since we are mostly relegated to four note chords on the vibraphone. Some folks have worked out grips to hold more than two mallets per hand, but I haven't seen anyone use it very effectively.

It makes no sense... seems like his music would appeal to a cross-over audience that much of the Fantasy re-issues probably didn't.

I searched and searched... no thread for Freddie McCoy! I am having the worst time finding affordable copies of his albums anywhere. I'd even settle for mp3s until I can find an actual record, but his stuff isn't available anywhere! I thought emusic had the Prestige catalog pretty well covered. The only thing I can find up there is the Johnny Hammond Smith double Opus De Funk. None of the McCoy albums are there. Why is his stuff so hard to get my hands on?! Don't even go to gemm. Who are these people?

I just saw this. I'm glad to know that folks like Jim Alfredson and Mike Flanigin are keeping the organs burning.

Direct deposit... we've already accumulated interest!

I just have to point out that his "later" OJC releases were recorded a year after his "earlier" OJC releases. I can only imagine what the progress between 1965 and 1975 would have sounded like.

I don'y have any of these. How are the Lester Bowie albums? I was hoping to see Bright Size Life and Dreams So Real.

Stylistically, it is a different direction than the three records from February 1961 to January 1962. To My Queen, to me, shows a departure from the first three New Jazz albums that becomes more evident on Jazz Impressions Of "Lawrence Of Arabia" and Unity. Impressions Of "A Patch Of Blue", from 1965 would be his last recording until 1975. This album falls somewhere between the focus of those first three and the expansion of the last three.

81% Dixie. They must weigh certain answers more than others.

I did some reading on this earlier. I understand. My hard drives and computer are away from the stereo also. Larsen, do you have any experience with the Squeezebox Transporter? This would allow for wireless connectivity and provide you with the level of audio that you are interested in. There are threads on this, and the various DACs that have been discussed here, as well as studio-level soundcards, at the Slim Devices website. Transporter Search this forum.

So what does the Squeezebox do then that you couldn't do with Jan's potential set-up? External Harddrives -> MacBook (or any old computer for that matter) -> DAC -> Stereo Amp I've had a Squeezebox for a couple of years now. My setup looks like this: External HD -> iMac -> Squeezebox -> Stereo Amp In my situation, the Squeezebox acts as a DAC that displays song info. Are you using yours solely as a display? Thanks.

I don't know much about this stuff. Are you saying that these DACs do more for the music than the Burr-Brown in the Squeezebox.

This is also readily available on vinyl.

I'm just thinking "out loud" here... is anything created by the human race essential? Is that why the human race created it?
