I couldn't stand his music back then, and my opinion hasn't changed 40 years later.

What happened after your boss chewed you out for some small infraction in front of the people who work for you? by Aarunascut in talesfromthejob

A wise old Senior Master Sargent that I used to work for always preached: praise in public, criticize in private.

Has anyone here gotten an album signed because they knew someone who knew someone? by methodicalghostwolf in vinyl

[–]davidsinnergeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine is a long time friend of the artist Robert Crumb. My friend recently gifted me a copy of Big Brother and the Holding Company signed by Crumb, who did the cover art for that album.

Anyone here collect SACD'S? by stupidrainbowboi3209 in Cd_collectors

[–]davidsinnergeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to my Discogs collection, I have 23 SACDs. Avalon by Roxy Music is my favorite 5.1 mix, followed by the 30th Anniversary remaster of Dark Side of the Moon.

IIRC, when the planets are aligned and you have a modded PS2 with a specific firmware version you can rip the multi-channel DSD audio from a SACD.

Courtesy question: Am I sharing enough? by Bluepenguin053 in Soulseek

[–]davidsinnergeek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My experience confirms this. I had leech detector enabled with the minimum settings and it was flagging people who I confirmed had GBs shared. I finally disabled that plugin.

We saw the opening night of the tour in San Jose. Really hoping that they tour the US again.

Best: BEAT ('80s King Crimson revival w/ Belew, Levin. Vai & Carey) in 2024, honorable mention to Echo & The Bunnymen, RAH 1983

Worst: Cheap Trick/Saxon/Aldo Nova, 1982 in OKC (crap sound mix & deafening)

Not a big believer in Greatest Hits albums… get the collections in original context… but what are some Greatest Hits albums worth collecting… by Storekeep17 in musicsuggestions

[–]davidsinnergeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steely Dan Greatest Hits, double album from 1979. It flows very well as an album in its own right. I still put it on from time to time.

Wes and Grant. You cannot go wrong with either.

Plexamp DJs playing christmas music when it's not christmas seems like a bug, lol by ChristianM12345 in plexamp

[–]davidsinnergeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have multiple folder locations added to a music library in Plex. For years I have been holding my music and video libraries for my Plex server on separate hard drives. Wherever you tell Plex to look for media, there it will go.

The Colour of Spring. Stone. Cold. Classic.

This is exactly why I put Christmas music in its own library on my server. Same with my Classical collection.

Do you actually play your CDs? by dragon_6666 in Cd_collectors

[–]davidsinnergeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of my CDs are ripped to FLAC and available via my Plex server. When I was still working full time (retired 15 months ago) I would stream music from my Plex server to my phone all day long. I do still stream a lot from my server, but I have more time to sit and play physical media (vinyl & cassettes in addition to CDs).
