re: Song that got you hooked to metal
Posted by pheroy on 4/17/24 at 2:00 pm
For me there are kind of 2 - an early entry as a teen then a later reentry 30 years later.
Had been listening to Van Halen, Scorpions and so on in the late 70s but the song that I really consciously identified as metal that totally pulled me in was Iron Maiden's "Flight Of Icarus" from the Piece of...
re: Introducing someone to metal. Make a five album starter pack.
Posted by pheroy on 4/12/24 at 8:36 pm
Lots of great classic albums here for sure. But to me, when this kind of question is asked I always want to know - where are they coming FROM? If you're introducing a youngster who's mostly listened to hip hop, your choices could be pretty different than introducing someone who is coming from classi...

2 big record store notes.
1) Blue Note has a 20% store-wide sale today with a few titles 40% off. [link=(https://store.bluenote.com/)]Blue Note Store[/link]
2) I have to give props to [link=(https://www.dustygroove.com/)]Dusty Groove[/link] service. I received an order with a few LPs last week...

re: Jeff Lynne’s ELO dropping an album tomorrow!
Posted by pheroy on 3/19/24 at 7:09 pm
Well, that's disappointing. Double checked on their tour page but the closest to me in Raleigh is 6 hours for either Nashville or Atlanta. At least those are on a Fri / Sat respectively, but very unlikely I'll make that trip....

[quote]Would an Ortofon red work?[/quote]
Should be a solid choice. FYI, the Blue is on sale right now $50 off if you want to step up - many reviews say it's worth it, though I don't have direct experience yet. (A friend just grabbed a Blue on that sale so hopefully I'll hear it soon.)...
re: Favorite Crawfish Boil Seasoning Brand
Posted by pheroy on 3/14/24 at 8:41 pm
Another vote for Geaux Creole. We started using them for our LSU alumni chapter boil up here several years ago and got a lot of unsolicited compliments. Very good flavor but not as salty as most.
I also started mixing it with Swamp Fire for a little more pop, and that's a pretty good combo....
re: Crawfish boil with 500 gallon brewery barrel?
Posted by pheroy on 3/14/24 at 4:01 pm
Just got word back from the brewery owner, confirmed that this particular unit can NOT get to a boiling temp. So this is all moot now and we’ll be sticking with our trusty old 80 qt pots. ...
re: Where do I go from Joe Pass?

[quote]John Scofield, Sonny Sharrock and Julian Lage are all great jazz players.

Lol... Sharrock is great but not what I would recommend to someone who just discovered Joe Pass. Or Lage for that matter.
Sco OTOH... some great material but he's even more diverse than Grant Green. I m...
re: Where do I go from Joe Pass?
Posted by pheroy on 3/13/24 at 11:24 pm
Grant Green, Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell are definitely great guitarists to also explore. Green has a LOT of great Blue Note records and material available, which ranges from straight ahead jazz to more funky/soul stuff, latin, gospel and pop "ish".
Jim Hall is another great, his record with S...

[quote]I think its retarted for the brewery to offer that to you. If it was my equipment used for brewing beer, i wouldnt want it brewing crawfish. I wonder how many cleans and brews it will take to stop tasting like crawfish.

We asked them that question. They kind of laughed and said t...
re: Crawfish boil with 500 gallon brewery barrel?
Posted by pheroy on 3/12/24 at 10:52 am
We did 750 lbs last year. 11.5 80 qt pots (one pot is 120 qt) x 2 boils.
We would absolutely NOT do this without doing at least a test run. I'm just trying to find out if anyone has ever done it in that kind of rig and could share their experience. It's just a very intriguing possibility that if...
Crawfish boil with 500 gallon brewery barrel?
Posted by pheroy on 3/11/24 at 10:39 am
Anyone ever have experience with boiling crawfish in large brewery type barrels? Our alumni chapter has been asked by our new venue, a brewery, if we would like to make use of their on site brewing equipment which includes a 500 gallon stainless steel barrel. It has an access hatch at the bottom and...

re: Pitch correction ruining music?
Posted by pheroy on 3/2/24 at 5:11 pm
I saw some comments from Fil on pitch correction in another video. I can somewhat go along with the take that it's another tool in the box for producers & recording engineers. However I also think that it's one more element, and a very strong one, in putting out a product that removes more & more hu...

That Jaimie Branch record is GREAT. Holy crap... I went to streaming to pull up "borealis dancing", went to the album (which I had missed being posthumously released) and couldn't stop listening. Some Don Cherry vibes at times, incredible grooves, I'm loving it but also...
