Interesting thread, information and recommendations on music.
It’s a bit unusual, but I sampled some traditional Japanese Taiko drums on Kodo’s “One Earth Tour Special” DVD. Those with monster subs may find the large 7 foot taiko drum in the O-daiko piece interesting. My poor Rocket subs just about bounced themselves out of the carpet spikes trying to reproduce the low frequency harmonics/resonance that is induced by the rhythmic drumming. I was wishing for an EP-600 about then. I listened to another sample by Wadaiko and found their stuff more pleasantly lyrical but not as impressive in the bass.

I came home before my wife and kid today, so I thew Clapton's "From the Cradle" and John Hiatt's "Crossing Muddy Waters" into the changer on random. I'm sitting in the sweet spot typing this right now as John slides his way up and down the neck on track 6, "Take it Down" -- perhaps my favorite cut on the disk.
Music is great, ain't it?

Tonight I'm doing the 80's thing again. For the last 30 minutes or so I have been listening to Billy Squier's Greatest Hits cd.

The movie "Day After Tomorrow" happened to be on one of the HDTV movie channels this afternoon(we have it on DVD but it dosen't matter)what does matter is what happened AFTER the movie was over.
It didn't happen when all we had was the M3s; but when we put M50s into service we noticed a change in our movie viewing habits.
I'm sure the same has happened to others of Y'all......
Sittin' thru all of the credits....enjoying the music

Sorry, folks, but sometimes I have to listen to something upbeat for a change...
Kylie Minogue -- Fever, Light Years, Body Language
That reminds me, I have to haul my sub out to the new house and test for vibrating heating ducts before it's too late to rip out the drywall and put a few more screws into the buzzing pipes...

Put your hands on the wheel

Sea Change is an awesome album. Unfortunately, I only have it in SACD so I can't rip it to my computer/iPod and listen to it more often.

Yeah! I think Beck is a great example of someone who has distilled all these very diverse influences and uses them to form his own very original sound. I think Moby is like that too, melting down diverse influences and putting it all together very creatively to form his original style.
I like most of Beck's stuff but I think this is definitely one of his best. Actually yesterday was the first time I heard the whole CD and I'm hooked already.
