what are you listening to?

Translation, look for a loose connection...

Yup, got it…
It’s been sitting idle for far too long, so I’m going to give it a low current/low voltage trickle charge to the filter caps and open it to check rail and circuit voltages. I don’t expect any major issues, it’s just been dormant for a long time.

 

[George S.]

Could be as simple as a bad connection at a Phoenix connecter.
I've learned to back the screw all way out and feeling for the thread skip before inserting the wire and clamping it.

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark – Dazzle Ships

What did you think of Dazzle Ships? I didn’t like it, too many “Atari noises” and not enough music…

 

[George S.]

Deep Purple.......Machine Head

This one got a 3/5. This means I need to listen to it again. I did put in on today and heard it while working around the house and still thought meh compared to other discs and other OMD.

I was listening to Echoes(.org) the other night, most nights but John Diliberto played Karl Hyde and mentioned he was a founder of Underworld. Recognized that name from the previous CDs Tom has sent me and know some of them are good. Checked my discogs and well I have that Karl Hyde disc and have 12 (one dup) Underworld discs and have liked 4* four of them and accepted 2* a couple more. Since most of what I have heard in this new addition to my collection so far has been ok but not really a lot of 4 or 5 star discs, I'm looking forward to the last 25% of these discs cause I'll have some Underworld to enjoy.

Note, I have pulled Miles Davis due to volume, Classical, stuff I already have from the play pile so the higher rated discs haven't had a chance yet.

More to come.

Atlanta Rhythm Section, Bachman Turner Overdrive, and some Badfinger from the digital jukebox. Felt the need for some volume...

I'll admit to being a major fan of Bob Seger since the day I first heard Ramblin' Gamblin' Man on WCOL in Columbus, Ohio in 1965 or so when I was 9 or 10 and then having my musical life stood on its head when he released Beautiful Loser 10 years later when I was working the 7-midnight shift on WSIM-FM. And while I've always appreciated his ability to chronicle life in tight stories, I remain impressed by the wisdom passed on from a lifetime of making those observances in Face The Promise (2006). I continue to come back to that album beyond all of his others and God knows, I love me some Roll Me Away. Too bad Face The Promise wasn't the commercial success of his earlier stuff as I'm of the opinion it's his most complete work.

Edit: get the album name correct.

 

[J!m]

First I’ve heard of the distance. I suspect it is self-released and doesn’t have the horsepower of a big label behind it?

He is very well known and I never heard a peep…

I agree Bob, that is Seeger's best work on The Distance. Love it every time I hear tunes from that release. I saw Seeger 2 nights back to back (the Garden and the Worcester Centrum) when he blew through New England within the last decade. The Centrum is the best for audio concerts.

 

[George S.]

I've hit the docks at the Centrum in Worcester with the 18 wheeler.
Picked up a load of displays going back to Atlanta after a trade show.

Boston discography file on the garage system while I replace window screening. Table saw makes a great work surface.

Sorry, I'm an idiot. It's Face the Promise. The Distance has Roll Me Away on it, IIRC. #1 son in law has most of my Seger vinyl since he's a Michigan dude. Correcting the previous post now...

Another edit: just checked Wikipedia and it says Face the Promise went platinum. Must have done so without airplay as those are strong numbers. Wrong again.

 

[J!m]

How does a globally known artist go platinum and I never heard a damn thing?!?
