EDIT: Except: WHY THE HELL did he record all this stuff anyhow? If I remember right, he had foot pedals set up under his desk so he could surreptitiously start/stop the machine. How about just NOT record if you're up to shady stuff in the white house. I wonder the same thing - it seems I remember h...

I have found the efforts to recover the 18 minutes or so of deleted conversations from the Nixon Watergate cover-up to be fascinating on a technical and historical level. I am interested in the many engineers and sound technicians that use this board and what all of you imagine might ultimately acco...

I just listened to it - My 4 year-year-old said "aren't you going to hurt your ears?" And not because of the volume. Of course his tastes are a little picky - he currently requests Bl...

But I gotta mention my friend Jason Knuth, a wonderful man who I met at mid-90s KUSF. He was older than my fresh-from-the-sierra-sticks teenage self, but we connected over the story of how he covered his '80s dorm room with the lyrics to Zen Arcade when it first came out (it was on both of our all-...

Hey timcoleman, I read your post and I highly, highly sugest you look into the teachings of G I Gurdjieff. Some of his students/student's students include Frank Lloyd Wright and Robert Fripp of King Crimson. Also, for some very cool "spiritual" music, check out David Hykes. They just reissued his "...

My wife totally changed her approach to music with the whole Dixie Chicks vs Bush thing years back. Her dad was a musician (cover band land) and she grew up lisening to the classic rock and lots of country. When we first started dating she listened to lots of "new" country. Absolutely horrid - we fo...

Reminds me of the last Silver Mt Zion show I went to about 5 years ago. I had loved Godspeed You! Black Emperor and SMZ although less so with every CD. They went on hours later than they were supposed to, seemed to think Lawrence/the audience was a joke, and spent most of the set prodding the audien...

(long post ? but interested in more than quick retorts or flame-starters) What people or circumstances acted as catalysts to radically change the music you listen(ed) to? Were you on a certain musical course and had someone or something sudden send you ?sideways? (as Hunter S. Thompson would say). M...

I thought I might as well go for it - but never found a teacher - sounds like you were wise. I figured, how much harder could it be to play? Oh, the boundless ignorance of youth (and I was in my 20s)... Recently thought about trying one of those mouthpiece covers that turns it into basically a nativ...

sounds like #1 is out - was typing post when the last post was made so didn't see that you won't be able to talk with him.

I want to change my answer - I agree with moderator - don't pretend attorneys are involved. Instead, involve them. Sounds like the current check-off list for suggestions is as follows: (don't move on to the next item until the currenet one has failed) 1) Talk to him and tell him that you know what h...

You could contact the guy and tell him that several attorneys have contacted you representing the bands/artists that the tracks belong to. They know the tracks have been passed around and are now looking to collect licencing fees, or fees for sampling, or collect for breach of contract, or unauthori...

HA! I had to look up the original information from his website to see that it was a 2.4. I love the sound and CDs I have of people playing but at the time I bought it was still learning guitar and not sure what I would really be good at (flute, guitar, or hand-claps). I became much better at guitar ...

I have a Tai Hei Shakuhachi and would love to trade it for an arranger or workstation keyboard. All relevant information I have posted below (sorry for the length but I like to have lots of information about gear or instruments and find many others do too). I hope to find someone with a keyboard of ...

Long time forum stalker, first time intruder... Not a solution exactly but in my home I use a nice pair of wireless headphones when exercising or watching a DVD. Has two volume adjustments (one on base and another on the headphones themselves) so you can still make some adjustments but the dynamic r...
