I need a brain sandwich. Btw...did you guys ever figure out the mystery about the cow mutilations in Oregon and recently, southern Texas?

Yes.

This Geof Bradfield is quite a composer/musician. We discussed his new album yesterday; this one is from 2010 and the music was commissioned by Chamber Music America's New Works Program. During the process, Mr. Bradfield went to Africa and learnt about their music. Thanks again, @earnmyturns ... keep 'em coming!

Traumhafte Version von Claude Debussys "Claire de Lune" gespielt von Pianistin Khatia Buniatishvili

I'm a Martha Argerich guy through and through but Khatia is one of my favorite pianists of the current generation. I'm familiar with more playful performances of Claire de Lune but I do like this delicate and contemplative interpretation. Lovely.

And I hold that audience members who make loud noises should be summarily shot with squirt guns until drenched. No quarter, no matter how costly their suites or gowns.

Personally, my favourite is Murray Perahia.

I hadn't heard about that. And right before an election is so typical...

Valhalla 3??

If you are also getting the Valhalla 3, I can't wait to hear your thought comparing it to the Aegis (especially since I will have Valhalla 3 paired with the Yggdrasil MIB as well).

I went to an estate sale with my wife several years ago. The couple that owned the home were supposedly both professors at UMKC. It was a tiny home and judging by the contents, they leaned towards eccentricity. On the wall in one of the rooms was a dry erase board, maybe 4 x 6 feet with a colored graph and signature on it. The whole thing was covered with a clear sheet of acrylic and had a note that it was from a speech by Kurt Vonnegut. Priced at $75. Last day of the sale, so half price. I wanted it. Wanted it bad. Just didn't have a place to hang it and it would have been relegated to the basement. It deserved better, so I passed on it (and still regret it).


For standup comedy, I love Don McMillan's stuff.

Discovered Don McMillan recently. I would love to see his analysis on audiophiles, the hobby in general, and maybe audio controversies, such tubes vs solid state, analog vs digital, wires, etc.
He won't solve anything, but he will probably make a lot of us laugh, and even more important, laugh at ourselves.

Well, I wouldn't rule out cults. There are a lot of strange people in Oregon's nether regions.

I’ve never read the book ”Stranger in a Strange Land”, but the title immediately makes me think of We didn’t Start the Fire by Billy Joel. I wonder what that makes me, an illiterate oaf, but.. I like music?

People like what they like. I enjoy literature, music, art, crafts, etc. I get bored easily so I like to switch things around and enjoy various art forms.

Because of my love of the written word the lyrics mean as much to me as the melody at times. Dylan and Tom Waits are great examples. John Prine wrote folk and country and his lyrics were amazing.

Which is the reason I can never understand how people can love a song without knowing (and understanding) the lyrics to said song. Sadly that happens a lot.

Yeah, the strangest case was a horse found in the 70s. It's spine was removed from the animal without any blood or any cuts or marks. It had in no way been bitten or operated on. No knife marks. Nothing. It looked perfectly fine. But one day alive and healthy. Next day dead with spine removed.
