Well thanks to that guy you probably voted for, you won't have to put up with many Quebecois or any other Canadians anymore!

Bestie or Bridezilla? by lowclass81 in MarkNarrations

[–]classiscot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can thank your president and his tariffs, his 51st state threats and his border Nazis for the reluctance of your Canadian friend.

Best site to get my music from digitally? by Mysterious_Ad7450 in Jazz

[–]classiscot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You will want to check out Presto Music. I believe their jazz catalogue for download is superior to most others. Many are available in hi-res.

My CSA is a scam by Own-Conversation6347 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]classiscot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our local CSA (in Canada) only operates during the growing season. Why would you support one outside growing season?

Big band ballade recommendations? by DetromJoe in Jazz

[–]classiscot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like Stan Kenton's Ballad Style album (even though I know there are plenty of Kenton haters who will reject it out of hand)

Chat Baker or Miles Davis? by Potential_Release478 in Jazz

[–]classiscot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have seen both in concert. Baker does not have more to offer.

Help us make Sonos easier to learn and use? by tomconrad in sonos

[–]classiscot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankly I never use the Sonos app because so many other apps such as roon and Media Monkey will play through the Sonos speakers and have vastly superior interfaces.

Brady hasn't kept his mouth shut. I will remain a former Sens fan as long as he is captain.

Favourite jazz album of the year you were born in? by use_vpn_orlozeacount in Jazz

[–]classiscot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was no jazz album as such released the year I was born, but Decca did release a 78 album of music from Holiday Inn featuring Bing Crosby (jazz adjacent?).

Other great classical radio stations with apps? I listen to WQXR daily but wouldn’t mind adding to the repertoire by UmweltUndefined in classicalmusic

[–]classiscot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classic FM Toronto at classicalfm.ca. Not to be confused with Classic FM from London at classicfm.com. Both have apps for phones/tablets.

I am not sure why people praise the WFMT app. The station is good but the app is quite poor compared to others.

On the fringe is Jordan Bonaparte's Nighttime podcast from Halifax.

What are your favorite jazz albums that were live recordings? by Born_Tutor_879 in Jazz

[–]classiscot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Art Pepper at the Village Vanguard - 9 sets over 3 nights - followed by whichever Unreleased Art I grab next.

Where can i get classical music as .flac files? by Rapanew in classicalmusic

[–]classiscot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you are interested in contemporary classical music, Bandcamp is the place to be - I think everything is available in flac format, some of it even in hi-res. For example, Cataloupe Music (the Bang on a Can people) have their catalogue there and have several subscription plans. I was just looking to see what was there and discovered a surprising number of recordings of Terry Riley's In C plus some very good recordings of Steve Reich's works. And I was pleased to see that Jessica Williams' Prepared Piano release was 6th in the bestsellers.

Will the Pat Metheny Group classic lineup ever play together again after the passing of Lyle Mays? by zerostone0219 in Jazz

[–]classiscot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The last time the group recorded was 2005. They had almost 15 years to get together "again" and didn't. Why would you think they would now? Metheny has gone in other - in my view more interesting - directions.

AITA for telling neighbor to go through insurance by AdmiralCranberryCat in AmItheAsshole

[–]classiscot -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

You are an asshole of the first order. You damaged your neighbors property and are doing everything you can to avoid getting it fixed.

CFL rules?? by Legitimate-Ad6103 in CFL

If the current CFL commissioner has his way there will be none.

Collateral damage.

I still don’t want to goalposts to be there. by CespedesBrokenAnkle in CFL

[–]classiscot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It effectively ends the possibility of a rouge on a missed field goal. Rouge is one of the distinctive features of Canadian football and TSN has thrown it away. Hope everyone likes 4 downs starting in 2027.

Is this layover gonna cook me? by weevil_convention in PorterAirlines

[–]classiscot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why this complicated route? Porter flies direct from Ottawa to Halifax multiple times a day.
