Randy Newman's live album with the white cover and typography is actually a pretty atypical and wonderful intro to his music -- just Randy & his piano, playing some of his best early songs (including "Lonely At The Top", which I don't think is on a studio album).

Avatar Sun. 1/12/14 11:26pm Jimmy Cagney's hand drill:

lulu One of my favorite movie moments is in High Fidelity where the star's intro-narration speaks of love songs of the his era:
Rob having recently been left by his girlfriend Laura is trying to figure out what went wrong. His ultimate goal is to win Laura back. Throughout the movie he is looking for reasons why things went wrong. This leads him to re-examine the causes of his top five break-ups of all time in order to evaluate their effects.

Rob: 'Are we listening to pop music because were miserable? Or are we miserable because we listen to pop music?'

Rob: 'What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?'

plus the orig. speakers and some old Radio Shack bookshelf speakers, I think. I could never afford one of those 100 magazine players. Could never afford true audiophile stuff either. $10000 macintosh amps. nah

Trish :) I should do myself a favor and read the book, the reviews of the movie mention the remarkable 'fidelity' to the original novel.

I see Harman K. is making headphones now too, similiar style to the BandWs but I don't like those square no earcup style phones that much...I hear they are not that comfy

Backwards steel pans: things the Beatles never thought of.

...I always think of George Harrison in Beatles' 'Anthology' saying in Liverpool after the War - you couldn't get a cup of sugar, let alone a Rock'n'Roll record - or Dylan stealing a friend's Guthrie collection because there were no others in the MidWest
- & now - FMU alone is like this gushing firehose of stuff I can't control...

Always swore by the Sennheiser studio phones with foam pads (no cups), but can't seem to find 'em now.
  Sun. 1/12/14 11:44pm LovecraftDude888:

my back is killin me so gonna sign off I think, Gang....night Dave and all....gotta get back into the Crypt... Yeah I heard Britain after the war was dire...you needed vouchers ration cards for sugar or coffee or anything. Scary. nevermind records or record players! or nuthin. OMG I once had a pair of those Senneheisers 1988 or so, with the light foam earpads right. Good phones!
  Sun. 1/12/14 11:45pm LovecraftDude888:

I don't think Senn. makes those anymore...but those were good I had 'em, that was when I was doing my brief retail audio sales stint....god what a horrible job but perks were ok

Night, @LCD. Get some rest!

I've been that sycophant @ the Music Store & then that guy working there - so I appreciate 'High Fidelity' for that - but I'm not sure Nick Hornby is really all that - ?? He's okay...I don't always agree w/ his points of view or statements - but that's true of Lester Bangs for that matter - but Lester Bangs was like the Hunter Thompson of Rock Critics or something...

This reminds me of my favorite version of Clair de Lune -- arranged for harp.

re: book v. movie. Some of the cultural refs change, while others don't. Fidelity is a larger theme, too.

Good reads if you enjoy the style is what I should have written. Some are far better than others. Sure.

Kenzo, Every time they demagnetize something at the store on that "pad" I think about rubbing carts on a degausser.

Even when you're at home? Do you feel an uneasy buzz?

Tragedy on the White Nile this morning....many people dead. Strange, and sad---as I listen to this last track on this week's 'World of Echo' show, with the White Nile in its title, and the crestfallen strain of its movement.
