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: Any subreddits to sell HT gear?

I've also used US Audio Mart successfully a few times. Doesn't charge a fee, where Audiogon does. ...
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.)...
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....
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. ...

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

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]We often cook ~800lbs/batch in a 450 gallon pot. No issue. [/quote] I'm listening... any more info? You can email my username @ yahoo if you're willing to share more details....
[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. [/quote] We asked them that question. They kind of laughed and said t...
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...
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...
It's pretty amazing that Halford essentially spans the entire history of metal. ...

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...

[quote]rebelrouser[/quote] 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...

[quote]Best jazz song in a while is Borealis Dancing by Jaimie Branch. Came out last year the same year she od'ed and died. Also really love Movement 6 by Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra. [/quote] Jaimie Branch was fantastic and such a tragic loss so young. She was just getting...
