Wrong kind of fuzz.
I guess he did do some fuzz bass, but what he's known for is his super clean tone on the Rickenbacker. Assuming you were serious?
Does this mean "the era of the CD" is over???
Quality not quantity.
Tell me about it. I used to be able to go all night... now I have to get up to go all night.
Can I just give a shout-out to a new "band" (it's all by one guy) I just ran across? Amazing stuff.

Back in the day, 30-minute albums were not uncommon. Some half-speed-mastered and DMM LPs were more like 24.
I'm with Splicer on this. Some albums sound "just right" at 28 minutes, others can...
Who are some worthy fuzz bass practitioners, besides the Mighty Hugh Hopper?
I think (? - somebody correct me if I'm wrong) the Oberheim 4-voice synth was just four expansion modules & a keyboard. The Oberheim 8 was eight modules.
Edit: I was close. It was their original...

Largely but not entirely. Wendy used a number of custom-built one-of-a-kind modules (& a keyboard) from Bob, as well as custom outboard filters and mixers he made.
There are a number of one-synth...
What an interesting observation. Quite possibly true.
How about a brickbat?
Just to continue the didact... which is it, "false" or "a misconception"? Because I guess a false misconception would be true!
Yeah, I used to take the bus out to the U. District almost every day after school and rifle through the racks at Golden Oldies or Cellophane Square, looking for records with cool covers. I found a...
Again, don't confuse the store with the product.
Some songs can be played over & over, and I never stop marveling at them.
"Dear Jill" - Blodwyn Pig
"The Tennessee Toad" - Leo Kottke
"Who Knows Where The Time Goes" - Sandy Denny
"Jumping at...
I think it's important to distinguish between the death of the CD and the death of the CD store. The latter is a result of Amazon & other online retailers, who make it much easier to find & purchase...
Downloads cannot legally be passed on to your heirs, but I don't think young people today really care about "owning" music anymore. With everything ever released available at the click of a button,...

The SBCH had amazing guests:
Musicians:
George Harrison,
Joan Baez,
Buffalo Springfield,
Cass Elliot,
Harry Belafonte,
Cream,
the Who,
If by "versatile" you mean complex, multi-faceted, three-dimensional and human, we agree. He was not easily pigeon-holed.
Which was probably the LEAST interesting part of his life.
Frank's testimony before Congress on the PMRC's efforts to label lyrics, as evidenced on "Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention" release, makes it clear that he respected his listeners-and...
You wouldn't have come running if I'd yelled "Chocolate!"
Or listened to "Mudshark."
Yeah. Heavy smoking, which eventually took her out.
Album covers.
It looks like it could be legit. Oldfield & Pohjola were in Througham Slad studio in Gloucestershire in September 1976 recording The Album With Too Many Titles (The Consequences of Indecision,...
I guess my main takeaway from the article is that Gail Zappa was a saint. Frank obviously adored her, but she put up with a lot of shit.
Not the least, wanting to name his daughter 'Clint...
Has this article been mentioned yet?

The Zappa fanboys will hate it, but it sounds pretty accurate to me, from what I know of Frank.
I use the above steps, except I don't use Notepad. I simply COPY the textstream, then PASTE after a "bracket-bc-bracket" tag. Delete everything in the paste except the 10-digit album number. Add...
This brand new album (out today) is some kind of wonderful.

They got some of my entertainment budget. Never heard (of) this before, thanks. It's an interesting mix of This Heat and Throbbing Gristle. Wife hates it -- it must be good!
Krusty the Klown, Keystone Kops, Konrad Schnitzler... it's all oh 'K' with me.
Speaking of which... K. Leimer's tribute to Cluster is pretty great:...

Cluster, you say?

Happy birthday Lino.
Another factor, also subtle but reliably reproducible: if the stereo has been off for a couple of days, it sounds worse when I first turn it on, for a couple of hours.
My guess(?) is that warming...

Take a moment to dig that unit out. I just saved you $100.
Give one to ronmac.
Your weak spot in this setup is going to be the tape transport, which is driven off the USB power, which is what, 5v? 4v? Reviews of similar items on Amazon often mention "wobbly tapes" and...
With all due respect, the ClearClick says it does 320kbps MP3s. With a CASSETTE source -- recorded LIVE no less (probably from the audience?) -- that's more fidelity than you'll ever need.
Well, you kinda did. You stated you want "lossless and good quality" and then a couple posts later you said you wanted "something like" the ClearClick Cassette2USB Converter... which converts to...
They're only $30±. Just hold your nose and pick one.
BTW, you can't have "lossless" and an MP3 stick at the same time.
Well there are certainly many devices on the market similar to the ClearClick:

If you just want a quick copy of something...
Ahem, considering the fidelity limitations of cassettes, I would think 24 x 196 is a bit of overkill.
Me too. My first advice would be to avoid gimmicky all-in-one converters like the ClearClick. If your source is a grotty old cassette, and you want "lossless and good quality," you're probably going...
Isn't that the truth. When I added a powered subwoofer flat to 16Hz, I started discovering all sorts of new truths. Albums I had previously used for "demonstration discs" -- albums like "Fragile" or...
Well, the composer of the score has been accused of lifting a few themes himself.
"Mediocre artists borrow. Great artists steal."
So... "Unobtainium," the rare anti-gravity element on Pandora that allows the Floating Mountains to float, this was the whole reason for humans to come to Pandora in the first Avatar movie.

BandCamp requires lossless uploads (AIFF, WAV or FLAC).
Nah. It was "inspired" by Avatar... which was "inspired" by Dean. And a judge said it was fair use.
