Tigerdroppings was born

When are you going?


Probably sometime in September
Well they had the housing projects back then and a lot of the bad crime was in those locations. Not all of it but I recall the news daily reporting on crime incidents in the projects. Those ain’t dere no more so crime is now more randomly scattered
I was there too. I’d go again. The band was very tight. I noticed the sound crew messed up a couple of times but nothing long lasting.

My only gripe was their choice to give the keyboard player Rick Wright’s vocals on Time. I understand the keyboard angle but his voice was just not right for that part. Very whiney.

Besides that I was pleased with the entire production. I’m hopeful they are able to eventually include a quadraphonic sound system at some point to provide the full Floyd effect

Recs for quiet Florida gulf beach?

The wife wants to stay away from the busy touristy locations so I’m trying to figure out where some quieter, less populated beaches may be on the Florida’s gulf coast (preferably panhandle if possible but willing to look at peninsula too).

City Cafe has a tasty seafood gumbo. Would be better if they had more shrimp and crab in it per serving but flavor is excellent

I remember my mom taking us kids to Major Video in Metairie the day Top Gun was released for purchase on VHS. The store replaced most of their rentals with Top Gun. Every wall was basically covered ceiling to floor with it. The line out the door was impressive

Is this still supposed to be Central Hub? Did anything ever open at this location?
I recently purchased from the owner myself. He’s an all around good guy
Those were pretty pricey speakers or high end audio components. It begs the question how the packages are treated in the trucks and during transit when no one is watching and there’s no cameras
General curiosity - what are some of the best mastered recordings (old or new) that would be excellent demo reference material to audition a system? I’m looking to test the soundstage and imaging of a 2-channel system and want the best material to use
I had hip scopes on both hips that required significant recovery time and effort and left me in much worse shape than before the scopes. Had to have my right hip replaced at 43 and recovery was much easier and I’m MUCH better off now. Zero regrets
I always viewed Echoes as being THE piece that bridges old (pre-dark side) to new (commercial success) Floyd
I recommend tigerdroppings
Throw some slap ya mama on that
