"YouTube Music is adaptive, which means it can change depending on your internet connection, and offers a maximum of 128kbps without an option to change to a higher quality." from YouTube Music vs Spotify vs Apple Music vs Amazon Music Unlimited: What's the difference?

Vivendi, a French media conglomerate that is the parent company of the world's largest record label, Universal Music Group, announced during its half-year financial review that it plans to sell up to half of the share capital of the label group. NPR music

"Think" ranks up there as well.

Meddling in an election? Are you sure your last name isn't Brezhnevhan?

I doubt anyone would disagree with the first sentence in your post. Then again, a lot of remastered reissues sounded much worse during the early days of the compact disc. The rest of your statement is, in my opinion, a load of crap. I've read the argument that Rudy's remasters sound the way they do because his hearing was impaired before, and I don't buy it. I believe Rudy gave reissue producers exactly what they wanted, more or less. The perceived limits of new media and changing listeners' tastes led many to believe that music with exaggerated highs and lows, compression and louder volume sounded better. We asked for it, and RVG complied. As far as McMaster's work on the Connoisseurs and Mosaics go, you're certainly entitled to your opinion. I have a much more favorable opinion of these reissue programs, as I'll wager do many of our brethren.

I don't think your favorable opinion of McMaster's work is as controversial as it might have been 10-15 years ago. I think his even-handed approach to remastering many of those Blue Note classics yielded more pleasing, "natural" results as compared to some of the more compressed, exaggerated high-end ("hot") reissues that followed.

I had a good friend who had two Weimaraners. They were great fun!

I'm glad. She looks like a great companion. I have two cats, and we've been happy with Weruva and Merrick's limited-diet and grain-free varieties (meat only, no seafood).

First off, there's no need for yelling, vulgarity or histrionics. Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you referring to the Wag line of pet food? Wag is Amazon' s new label of dog food specifically for prime members. I understand your frustration, but there are other brands sold at Amazon and other online suppliers (i.e., Blue Buffalo Basics, Brother, Canidae Grain Free, etc.) that might satisfy your pooch's particular dietary needs.

Reminds me of the time I saw Charlie Haden's Liberation Orchestra there (and let's not forget the VVJO)!

I don't see any BS at all. A person who has no intention of becoming a Prime member that repeatedly signs up for an introductory offer in order to take advantage of an annual sale is trying to scam the system. Offering some products at a lower price is just one of the advantages of Prime membership. Some individuals with a sense of entitlement demand the benefits enjoyed by others without having to pay their dues.

I hope you're aware that you must be a Prime member to take advantage of Prime Day sales.

Mr. Dolan, your table is waiting.

The hell I do!

Then you've got to have/get these:

Legendary blues guitarist Matt Murphy passed away yesterday at the age of 88. Although many people know him best as a member of the Blues Brothers band, he played with some of the best, including Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Memphis Slim, Etta James and James Cotton.

Happy birthday, old friend.

Ten of the tracks come from this recording on Triloka:

Manhattan School of Music

I'd say yes, since this music was recorded the day before Coltrane's date with Johnny Hartman.
