I have a 71 Marantz turntable going through an late 60's all-tube Marantz 100watt reciever/tuner (worth some money from what i understand) then out to 12 inch RSL's. It was my dad's old setup. I only use this combo for the records. When i play records through anything else, they sound horrible
About the only valuable records I have are an original Beatles butcher-block cover in poor shape and an un-opened first pressing of Pet Sounds. |

If you're leaning to the pop side how about The Stranglers, or a great US pop band was the Plimsouls. On the punkish/new wave side I liked The Lords of the New Church also.

 King Crimson has a kick-ass DVD out there (Deja Vroom). Different Dolby mixes to highlight the various instruments, camera angles to switch to different band members....good stuff, and a chance to use all the nifty features on your DVD player.

Sounds like good music at your place. A day here could include everything from John Lee Hooker to Freddie King to The Ventures, to The Screaming Trees, to Buffalo Tom, to The Lime Spiders to Professor Longhair to The Sonics to Girl Trouble.....
About the only thing not hitting the airwaves is Country or new Pop stuff. Jeff |

I have been really happy about the state of music nowadays. There is so much good new stuff coming out these days. For a long time, new stuff was horrible.

I suppose i should also give Gary Numan/Tubeway Army a mention here as well. Not as well known, but TONS of great songs. Down in The Park, Are Friends Electric?, and Every Day I Die are some of the most atmospheric songs I have ever heard.

Wire - now that was a good 'um. "A Bell Is A Cup Until It Is Struck," was a great album.
A friend lent me the new Sonic Youth, but I haven't listened to it. Man, has Thurston Moore gotten old. Anyone into Sonic Youth?

Okay Rock n' Roll Jeopardy guys - lyrics from a late eighties college band that were this: "This monkey's gone to heaven. This monkey's gone to heaven..."
Name the band...

Worst concert of the 80s:
"Flock of Seagulls," it was like watching sweaty doughy English dudes with bad hair try to electrocute themselves with their own perspiration and instruments. Billy Idol - he was so stoned, he spent the entire concert leaning on his guitar. Simple Minds - not into it, and it showed. Post Chrissy Hynde *****-slap for Jim Kerr, I think, and the Simple Mind's bassist had a broken leg to boot. Boring...

Jared, You have an unopened first pressing of Pet Sounds in mono????? Holy Christ, that's the record equivalent of having a brand new, shrink-wrapped '73 Carrera RS. I do have it in mono, but not that old. I love vinyl as well, do you shop at Amoeba records in Hollywood? Great place to spend all of your $$. Here is a purchase from there, (on my Beogram):

Okay, I'll toss in two cents...trivia time: WHY were so many of the Beach Boys hits done in mono????

I just read in today's paper that Eddie Vedder was booed off stage at a (very) recent concert for stomping a George 'Dubya' Bush mask into paste between songs, during a tirade.
Half the crowd left on the spot.

Yep, it happened...not going to burn any of my early Pearl Jam stuff, but don't think I'll be buying any more. I've had it with celebrities shoving their views down my throat. Especially when I know they are less educated and less in touch with the real world than many of us.

Well, all my Smiths albums are on vinyl - except "Strangeways Here We Come."
Does that count for anything?
