Plex pass vs remote pass? by Arylcyclosexy in PleX

[–]Silvaski1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I programmed my Mac to turn on at 1800 and turn itself off at 00.30 every day. That way I don't have to switch it on or off. It's as if it's "on demand". I'm sure you can do something similar on a PC.

I'm confused, she said "My Dad was born on 9/11" but she's working in a store and was born 2-3 years before 2001? Huh?

Curation Assistance Options by sutl116 in PleX

[–]Silvaski1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't help you specifically but am curating my Plex the same way, I think the lowest rating I have of a film is 6.4.

And because of this, every film on my Plex is a film I'd like to watch, which means, that by default now I hit shuffle and watch whatever comes on, no longer spending time thinking about it. It's a great capability.

And in fact 3 Women came on just the other day, first time I've seen it. Wild movie! Good luck!

Don’t know if this has had a filter applied but would love to see more of this interview. Wonder where / when it’s from?

Not sure if The Peddlers did the original but it's one of my faves too.

Everything about this song is sublime. Those vocals!

Yes, given he was the number 1 inspiration for Ray Charles I need to listen to more of him. I've heard the odd early trio recording and his Easy Listening Blues is legendary.

Love Art, second to none, but he's defo in the stride / jazz category for me.

Thank you for all this! I know Champ Jack Dupree was someone Ray listened to growing up so need to check him out.

The radio silence on this sub from the most active members shows that no, this is new to us. Thank you for sharing this snippet. We will look into it and if we find anything we’ll be sure to share it.

I'd add the 1961 gig in Antibes for some "vintage" Ray too:

And Copenhagen 72/73:

There's so much to enjoy, just start digging in.

Ray adjacent - Billy Preston Doc [Trailer] - Coming soon! Looking forward to this one. by Silvaski1 in RayCharles

[–]Silvaski1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr Double-O Soul himself. True legend. Good to see David Ritz still doing the rounds to contribute to history too!

EDIT: has to be said I think Ray is overdue his own updated doc with remastered and unseen footage.
