  1. 8pm NCIS - Gibbs and his team investigate the murder of a marine.
  2. Nice mid-sixties Blue Note vibe. Spotify
  3. True, but you could create a playlist on a subscription service, then share it with your friends.
  4. Or, you could easily listen to that album in your car with Spotify (or another streaming service). No cd or usb drive to remember, forget, lose or damage. My new CX-5 has no cd player, and I'm fine with that. If you insist on playing cds in the car, you could get a mobile player with bluetooth capability. Buying a new car based on whether it has outdated technology strikes me as rather short-sighted.
  5. That's Mike Stan. He's not that interesting, trust me.
  6. Yes, you read everywhere that vinyl sales are surging while CD revenue is falling. But beware of the statistical comparisons that are used to make this claim. Comparing revenue is misleading because the cost of various media are different. Comparing sales volume of only physical media is also rather pointless, but it does make vinyl look promising. For me, the most meaningful way of assessing the popularity of vinyl, CD, etc. is comparing the volume of music sales across all media. Check out this animated GIF that shows recorded music sales by format Share, from 1973 to 2019. It's pretty cool to see the preferences of music buyers over a 46-year period (and it's animated too!). For all its "surges" in recent years, vinyl accounts for only 4.2% of annual music sales. Hardly a comeback imo.
  7. How about fOld Fool?
  8. good to hear he's recording again.
  9. Happy Birthday, Tom. Here's a stuffy with a candle. Personally, I rather have R.I.-style calamari (roasted garlic and peppers, greasy). Enjoy every bite of life.
  10. "Although this legend about Andy Williams and Lauren Bacall is so deeply entrenched that you'll find it repeated even in some film reference books, it's not true. Director Howard Hawks, when asked about this, explained that he had indeed planned to have Andy Williams sing for Bacall, but after hearing Bacall sing during the rehearsals for the scene he abandoned that plan and ended up using Bacall's own voice." (Source: Hawks on Hawks by Joseph McBride [Berkeley, University of California Press, 1982] p.130.)
  11. Please tell me you have this one.
  12. You look good for a dead guy, Pete. Don't forget this advice from Yogi Berra: "Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours."
  13. Don't know what to listen to? Any page of this thread always provides me with some great suggestions. Thanks to everyone who contributes! As for me ...
  14. Yeah, those bums ruin it for all of us!
  15. The Red Sox beat the Yankees three in a row!
  16. I'm not Kevin, but here's how I do it: right click and save image to your hard drive go to google images search engine click on "search by image" and upload the image from your hard drive voilà! the results display web pages that contain matching images
  17. Is it too much to ask you to go the Resonance website to read the track list?
  18. Already solved.
  19. AIFF files are essentially the same size as wav files.
  20. No. It's definitely you.
  21. Two Americans gored and hospitalized after Pamplona bull run Two Americans were gored in Pamplona, Spain, on Sunday during the annual Running of the Bulls festival — one of whom is now fighting for his life. A 46-year-old man from San Francisco is in grave condition after being gored in the neck by a bull, according to local authorities. The other American victim is a 23 year-old man from Kentucky. He's recovering from an injury deemed “less serious,” after a bull’s horn pieced his thigh, according to authorities Every year, Pamplona holds its annual event, famous for scenes of people sprinting through the city’s ancient streets chased by bulls. Two days into the festival, officials were already reporting injuries. On Sunday, Spanish authorities announced six people had been taken to a local hospital after the bull run, including the two Americans.
  22. You're right. I misunderstood you, thinking you might be spending significantly more time there, with the help of sales staff, etc. My apologies. As far as me in a clothes store, that only applies to women's clothing.
