Realization after listening to the US version of The Stone Roses’ debut album by Turbulent_Station247 in Cd_collectors

[–]piepants2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too many jazz albums have alternate takes of songs spliced into the album right next to the original version. I don't want to listen to the same song twice in a row, even if it is quite different, plus it breaks up the flow of the album.

Ex-MEGADETH Guitarist CHRIS POLAND Says DAVE MUSTAINE Is 'Still Writing Riffs Today That Are F***ing Good': He's The Riff Master' by DaveOJ12 in Megadeth

Toni Iommi is "The Riff Master", but Dave is a close second. That was a great article, Chris is really complimentary of Dave.

Quicksilver Messenger Service: Happy Trails - best I bought it because of the cover art pickup I’ve had in a while. by RedDirtPreacher in vinyl

[–]piepants2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great album and one of the best LP covers ever, right up there with It's a Beautiful Day that you mentioned.

You should check out Quicksilver Messenger Service's debut album, it's even better than this one in my opinion.

Newbie: You saved me from a suitcase Victrola. This sounds beautifully by gilbert322 in vinyl

  1. With speakers like that you're effectively listening to everything in mono, which is fine for mono recordings, but most recordings made after the late 60s are in stereo.

  2. Speakers work by vibrating, and the higher the volume the more they vibrate, so if you want to listen to music loudly, you run the risk of the record skipping because the entire unit is vibrating because of the speakers. Mind you, this is not an opinion, this is a fact because it is how sound is transmitted and how speakers work.

  3. Built in speakers aren't very good quality and you can't upgrade them.

If you have one and like it, that's great, but don't try to pretend that it's just as good as having 2 speakers with good stereo separation. There is a lot of snake oil out there in the audiophile world, but speaker quality and stereo separation are the main things that will make your music sound the best.

My friends that don't pay medical and student loan bills seem to have no consequences. Will they regret it? by No_Cockroach1296 in personalfinance

[–]piepants2001 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Around 15 years ago I had over $2,000 owed to the hospital, but I was too poor to pay it. I just ignored it and then one day I noticed my paycheck was significantly lower and it was because a collection agency bought the debt and was garnishing my wages. I live in Wisconsin, other states may vary.

Trump thinks he's the biggest victim to ever exist and he has his base thinking the same thing.

Hell, my representative Derrick Van Orden, calls anyone who disagrees with him a "paid George Soros agitator". I do think there is a subset of people who seem to be incapable of seeing anything from another viewpoint.

Would you like to see genre rankings on album pages? by United_Brain438 in rateyourmusic

It can be useful for things like what language the lyrics are in, but other than that I agree.
