music in the shed

What amused me was that an all-star cover of Lou Reed`s " Perfect Day " was used by the BBC in an advert for their television channel.......I`m not sure if it was deliberate or not but I`d like to meet the person who thought a song about heroin addiction was suitable for use in an advert.....but then again most of BBC 1`s output is enough to send you into some form of stupor anyway so maybe he had the right idea....

Man I'd be lost without music. Been a major part of my life either going to concerts, pubs or just sitting back chilling out in front of my mid 70s Bose 901speakers and Albarry amp. Rather listen to music than watch TV.

Just picked up a pair of Bose 301's for the shed Rob, pretty happy with them, :)
They are a good accompaniment to the Rogers but as always theres just a little too much base.
gotta love 70's audio gear.:cool::cool:

Yep. Never been a fan of Lou Reed's music. I find him boring. To me, his music sounds like he's groaning his last on his death bed. In fact, it's a fucking boring song, but the Cowboy Junkies are slightly easier on the ear than Lou Reed. I think I just prefer her voice to Lou Reed's monotonous groaning.

Appreciation of music is an individual thing. I rarely post here because I don't expect anyone else to share my taste, just as I don't like most of the music links that others post here. Your reaction to my post is confirmation that I should keep my musical opinions to myself.

There's a lot of very melodious Lou Reed titles. I've learnt to play Sunday Morning and Femme fatale recently. No groaning there. You'll of course object that that's the Velvet Underground but plenty of later Lou Reed examples.

Bose 301, there is a model number from the days, never repaired or installed that model. Many 801's however, mid size club front of house, Bose heaviest dedicated amplifier ( compensated ) on the planet for portable gigs and permanent install, ludicrous weight/mass.

The tedious though worthwhile replacing of the foam speaker cone to basket support, like working on a Laverda, all very agricultural.... no fancy tools, scissors and paper glue, endless patience... a ramble, of some merit perhaps. j
 
Christine Perfect (McVie) dead at 79. Overshadowed by the Twirling Twit, she was part of the great middle years between the early blues band days of Peter Green and the final soap opera of the Lindsey and Stevie band. Remember Bob Welch?
 
Days are not many for our age era group, each day to be made best of, balance between doing silly things and moribund indolence.... similar to not letting a 3c go off vertical too far... lest over you go... balance, i test it every day here. j

Any experience with Klipsch? I have a pair of Heresies I bought in the ‘70’s and a friend had a pair of Voice of the Theaters in his room at college! He went on to be Gloria Estafan’s traveling sound man…..
I rebuilt mine around 10 years ago with new caps in the crossovers and paired them with a new cartridge in my Yamaha YP-450 turntable. They sounded just like they did back in the day!

Fun fact: Klipsch were made in Hope, Arkansas, home of Bill Clinton.

There are more dead musicians occupying my playlist/collection than live ones. I'm just glad that I am still alive to enjoy the music they made.
 
My favourite Fleetwood Mac period was with Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer, the Then Play On period so to say. For me it was over when Christine came, despite the fact that I did kind of like her older Christine Perfect solo album. Then the hit Rhiannon caught my attention followed by Rumours and it just blew me away.. Then later I started to appreciate albums like Mystery to Me, indeed with Bob Welch excelling. RIP Christine..

It`s the same down the pub , I know more dead people than those that remain alive...

The Cotham Porter Stores used to run a book , so you could place a bet on which star or celeb would snuff it next.....happy days.....

" They " reckon it`s the other way around now ( in global terms ) , insomuch as the living now outnumber the dead , in other words the number of people alive on the planet now outnumber all those that have ever died , since the start of ( human ) time.....
