Being italian I should, but I admit that, since most of that trash movies sucks, compared to Antonioni, Fellini or Leone, I never cared of soundtracks. Yes, I said that most that movies sucks, no matters what Tarantino thinks about them.

I've got a Netgear router, great stuff, it covers all three floors of my house and the outside small garden, I've got three Mac and my laser Xerox printer on it. I am pretty happy with my wireless home system. An advise, you need a professional system's manager to configure all the devices connected, unless you got a serious skills on the matter. At first I tried to myself, and I lost a lot of time and bad results.

Colin Walcott - GRAZING DREAMS - ECM, one of the forgotten records in my collection. A great Don Cherry on it! And Abercrombie too, never dull. And Palle Danielson always on the ball BTW Frankly I still don't understand how one can hates ECM's outputs, a lot of great music in its catalog. And thanks to M. Eichler almosts always available in the shops. Not bullshits in these big corporates' dark days.

Not enough for a grant for Harvard School of Law and Vinyl or MIT or Organissimo's HITECH, try to apply for some lousy public University in Cucamonga State.

Did you mean "The Complete Ben Webster/Neil Young and The Crazy Horse at Monterey Pop Festival"? I have some spare copy of it, PM if you want one. Good Price

Auguroni, dolce Patricia!

Auguri!

A massive collection of 1970s music - including original recordings by reggae icon Bob Marley - has disappeared from the archives of the former Jamaica Broadcasting Corp. The possible theft of thousands of vinyl records and CDs is a blow to the island's history, said Olivia Grange, Jamaica's information minister. Musicians and former JBC employees criticised the government for not properly maintaining the archives. "The latest development is a national disgrace," said Gladstone Wilson, former programme manager for JBC radio. Advertisement Workers at the newly formed Public Broadcasting Corp of Jamaica noticed the disappearances earlier this week while touring the old JBC building. They had planned to use the archived material for their first shows, Grange said. The archives also contain such iconic videos as the 1977 visit of Fidel Castro and the 1978 "One Love Peace Concert" in which Marley famously called two bitter Jamaican political rivals onstage to join hands. http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30200-1299437,00.html Sad news. Now I have a question for all the respectable posters of the vinyl forum: Where did you spend you Christmas Holyday?

How's the weather? Sad.

The way that individual people arrange their collections depends on what sort of collection it is. Nobody I know arranges them according to what label they are. I have Blue Note, Verve, Blue Bird, Joker, Plymouth, Colortone, Jazz Tone, Wing etc. etc. etc. I don't know about most people, but I separate them into genres, then into alphabetical order, according to the main artist's last name, or the name of the band. So, I would have for example, a classical section arranged by artist, a blues section, a flamenco section, a jazz section and so on. Boxed sets are in a separate shelf space, arranged according to what type of music they are, similarly. Records that are spoken word, or comedy are again in a separate shelf space. But, I don't carelessly chuck them around like this guy is doing. I couldn't arrange my collection as genres, you know, I strongly believe that all records are born and remain free and equal in rights, without distinction of race, religion, genres or sexual orientation.

I meant to say that suppliers can choose from a variety of different formats. What I meant instead, is that there are only two reasons for choosing a format: cost and quality, from recording to playback. Like everything obviously. Overall, observing my son's habits in music, 18 y/o, and his friends, I think that audio and recording industries as we use to know it now are going to disappear. The fact is that music is no more the biggest branch of the entertainment for young people, as it used to be. My son didn't buy a cd in the last three years, he downloaded a lot of music, mostly techno and new raggae, he spend his pocket money for rave parties and concerts, not for the record or cd or legal downloading (he can't unless he steal my CC's numbers). He never asked for a better stereo, he asked for a bigger hard disk.

So, a computer with its audio board is your main playback device, nice...if you're happy about it. Uhm, are you implying that I use onboard sound? Where did you read that? How do you know what sound device I'm using? By the way: don't forget to take the tubes out of the fridge. Ach so...

So, a computer with its audio board is your main playback device, nice...if you're happy about it. Now I understood your reply to J. Anderson's post: maybe you missed something, we are talking about "blindfold" test, not "deaffold" test. BTW what's the goal for supplier to provide music in such a big collection of format: WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, Ogg-Vorbis, SACD, DVD-A, vinyl, CD. Frankly I missed it.

The good thing about the "new thing" is that the supplier is able to choose the format: AIFF, FLAC, MP3, Ogg-Vorbis, etc. I, for one, don't need the music to be delivered on some storage media that restricts the audio-format. And I'm sick of buying players with limited playback possibilities, too ("an SACD player can play CDs, too - OMG, WOW!"). Next thing to skip: Blue-ray. HD-DVD, anyone? The fact is that you will have to buy a new player every couple of years, since the research on new formats will never stop, like everything in the software and computer industry. I mean that new chips, processors, OS's are coming out every six months. So even if you buy a huge hard disk as musical server you'll never be safe forever. BUY! And don't complain.

Agree, and I believe what J. Anderson posted. One of the points is that you can't hear any difference on a bad playback system, even between a well encoded Mp3-like compressed file and a SACD. Since the general trend moved towards boomy HT systems and iPod-like stuff...well, you know the answer. At work I could clearly hear the difference when ProTools, that is commonly used on the top AVID editing systems as separated audio board, introduced the new 24 bit model. Said that, even at work, most of the people I work with don't care about audio in common broadcasting. So a lot of guys come down in the studio with awful mastered mp3 cds to use as soundtracks. That is not a real problem when you use it as background for an interview, but it's frustrating for a film editor who cares about his job.

Seems you had a great time, my main beef with the league, is that most teams play in a conservative way, French teams used to play with flair, not anymore they remind me of Calcio teams style of playing in the 80s sorry Porcy62 No offense, I too think that italian league' matches sucks most of the time, not only in the 80's, BUT, though I deeply hate Berlusconi for political reason, I have to admit that Sacchi's AC Milan with Baresi, Maldini, Donadoni, Costacurta, Rijkaard, Van Basten and Gullit was much more GALACTIC then today's Real Madrid. Overall I think that team played one the best football I saw in my life. Yep it was an amazing team, too bad at the time couldn't see much of them. I do think that Italian games are quite watchable, they were some years that we had at least on great game per week. But my favourite domestic team remains Chievo Verona under the helm of Luigi Del Neri when they got promoted Serie A. What a wild and exciting they were, great offence and not much relance of defence which made for terridfic and entertaining matches. I remember fondly a few derby matches against rivals Hellas Verona. IMHO other great teams of recent past were Napoli with Maradona, Sampdoria (MY team, I am native of Genova) with Cerezo, Briegel, Mancini and Vialli, that lost the final of Champion's Cup in an unlucky match with Barcellona. Juventus too had some great moments along the years, as well as AC Roma and Lazio. Chievo was a odd and happy surprise in a league dominated by rich teams. When money was less important, we had much more nice suprise from small teams. Overall the Campionato was much more interesting, maybe less technical quality, but more fight. Now all the game is among the three or four big teams like Ac Milan, Inter, Roma and Juventus. No way that a small team could gain the league.

Monastery...if you think that jazz was supposed to be "brothel music"...a big leap... I am not really sure wich I prefer...between monastery and brothel, I mean a much younger aloc encountered a hometown priest or two, casually attired, during his many infrequent visits to the local brothel of that day. the two venues arent THAT unrelated. the music, blues, generally sucked. I loved the line: 'the music, blues, generally sucked'.

Maybe he should have posted it on "You Porn" Url, please.

Sorry to hear that, Flurin.
