Because you get to meet new people and watch a live performance and support musicians directly?
Because it's a place you can take your date to, and impress her thereby?

That sounds like a more plausible reason to me.

I looked up some others by that artist. I recognized "Zwei Apfelsinen in Haar", even though I remembered it by another title and by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass (their version was a cover too, Chico Buarque having originated it).

i have to admit there's something charming about france gall, even tho her music is kind of campy by today's standards.

An english version of this song appeared in Tarantino's double feature ("death proof"):

Most 80's music kind of stinks. But most of today's music (except country) is even worse.

I don't like country.
I think all music sucks unless it has a harpsichord... or some 8-bit instrument.

I don't like MP3s.

FLAC, WAV, or WMA (at high bitrate). But the original CDs are always the best.

I did actually pop a few MP3s on my 300PL, for some odd reason there is fuzzing (guess it's exposing the low quality of MP3 files)... everything else is fine though.

People who say they can actually hear the difference between FLAC and a truly high quality MP3 drive me up the god damned wall.

If you can hear a difference, get a better MP3 encoder.


i have a friend who went back to records (yes, records, apparently they not only still press records, but they're making some kind of comeback, even latest releases are coming out on records apparently) cuz he thinks the audio is better. I dont know if the audio is better, but i do think records are more fun to play than pressing a tiny button on a tiny mp3 player.

tubes on the other hand, yea they sound better to my ear than solid state amps, for music anyway.  that said, i still choose the convenience of solid state ('good enough') for both  my guitar and my music.

As much of a bull**** story as this sounds - I remember watching a Youtube video of a record player playing a song that sounded better than a CD rip I had of the same song. It wasn't that the CD rip had that sort of muffling or distortion that bad MP3s had - the video of the recording had a much richer sound to it.

Can't remember what it was though...

If it's a 256 bit-rate, that's usually, okay, HOWEVER, instruments with a high attack (like cymbals, hihats, harpsichords, etc) are affected the most by MP3 encoding. You actually can hear a difference with those types of things.
Otherwise all of my other music is usually fine.

I would recommend live concerts. Those tend to have some of the best sound quality.

Depends on the band. Some bands sound better live. Some that require lots of production sound much worse.

I prefer the IBM band (I'm not making this up).

Here's some of the tunes in high quality WAV format:

"Ever Onward" (IBM rally song):
http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/music/wav/everonward.wav

 "Hail To The IBM" (IBM anthem):
http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/music/wav/hailtoibm.wav

"IBM One Hundred Percent Club" (we're the IBM go-getters!):
http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/music/wav/100percent.wav

"March On With IBM":
http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/music/wav/marchon.wav

I think my favourite is "march on with IBM". I like the piano! March on with IBM... we lead the way... because everyone else sucks. Here's the complete lyrics:
Quote
The fame of IBM
Spreads across the seven seas;
Our standards fly aloft,
Proudly waving in the breeze,
With T. J. Watson guiding us, we lead
    Throughout the world,
For peace and trade our banners are unfurled,
    Unfurled.

Chorus

March on with IBM. We lead the way!
Onward we'll ever go, in strong array;
Our thousands to the fore, nothing can stem,
Our march forever more, with IBM.

March on with IBM. Work hand in hand,
Stout hearted men go forth, in ev'ry land;
Our flags on ev'ry shore, we march with them,
On high forever more, for IBM.

great tune; i even like the lyrics. and you gotta respect a guy who leaves guns 'n roses at their height cuz he 'just wants to play the blues'



Boredom saturation
It's a never ending clue
Isn't just to fill the time
When there's nothing else to do
She drove on out of New York
She had enough insane
And drivin' just though Texas two days
She ended up in L.A.
Shuffle it all
Shuffle it all, yeah
Shuffle it all
Pack up your life again
A pile of records spread out
The covers still look good
Picture here a Peter Tosh and he's
squatin' down and smokin' one
My dog dreaming is running
I see him twitch a paw
My woman playing Dr. Mar-i-o
On the TV all night long
Just another cigarette
Staring at the moon, yeah
Then I'm headin' off to bed
Sleepin' without you, yeah
Shuffle it all
Shuffle it all, yeah
Pack up your bags again
It's a long and winding road
Sure enjoy the view, yeah
If you want to see it
Just slow down
You're so welcome to come along
Lookin' for a tune to play
I'm gonna see it again
When the day is over
Try to write you 'bout the road
Feel the motors winding on
There ain't no news
If you see those old friends out there
Tell them that I send my love
Wake up, time to leave again
Try to find my shoes
Put the luggage in the van
Roll up your bag for two
Shuffle it all
Shuffle it all, yeah
Shuffle it all
Pack up your things again
Shuffle it all (Keep movin' along)
Shuffle it all (Keep movin' along)
Shuffle it all (Keep movin' along)
Pack up your life again
Keep on shufflin'

I'm actually with MSW here (minus the radio part). I'm not a huge fan of concerts. Mind, some epic **** has happened at concerts that I've gone to but I still don't like them.

Not all shows are like that. Loud fans are one thing, and they are atypical at the type of shows I frequent (even the shows where the BAND itself is loud), in other words I don't go to Justin Bieber shows with screaming fantards.

Loud music, on the other hand ... I mean if you like bands that are loud, what can you really expect?

One of the loudest shows I have ever gone to was Mogwai at Metropolis in Mtl:



doesnt do it justice, practically destroyed the mic on my lx-3, but notice how everyone is enjoying the music for the most part. There is no way I could recreate this in my house.

conversely, I saw Damien Rice in Mtl as well, this show was AMAZING, and I could hear everything... to the point where he sings several popular tunes "unplugged" literally, he stands on the edge of the stage with his geet and belts it out:





(not my vids)

Notice the audience PARTICIPATION here.

I also recent saw The National at Massey Hall in Toronto, this was one of the best shows I have seen in ages, sit down tickets only.

Well if we're talking loud I've seen Slipknot and Slayer multiple times. I like loud metal but not enough to really want to keep going to concerts. As you know, Quebec is a death metal hub. Quo Vadis, Gorguts, Cryptopsy, etc. Seen em all, loved em all.

However, my favourite show was Necrophagist. My friend told me a story once, about how some years ago he went to see Necrophagist with around 8 other guys, some were 18, some were 17 at the time, and one was younger, around 15 IIRC. The bouncers weren't letting the 17-year-olds in. Mohammad Suicmez came out himself and persuaded the bouncers to let the 17s in (with the 18s who were allowed to enter anyway), and when he couldn't do anything about the 15 year-old, he personally refunded his ticket and gave him a Necrophagist hoodie. Right there.

That's awesome. In contrast, I've heard that Ted Nugent is a ****. My uncle who lives in the US went to see him once a couple of years back and when he was done his concert, he asked the crowd to "Thank Uncle Ted for playing for them", instead of thanking them for funding his life. I still think the man is a legend. A bit crazy, but still a legend. I definitely want to see him in concert before he gets too old to keep playing Stranglehold and Cat Scratch Fever.

The thing about audience participation is that I think it shouldn't advance past the headbanging stage. People who call out song recommendations as if the band modifies their schedule based on one random guy out of 60,000 in a sweat, smelly crowd, hardcore dancers, etc., annoy me.

Except when Killswitch Engage performs A Bid Farewell, that's when I actually like that the crowd sings along. Oh, and performance+crowd at any Lamb of God concert is amazing.

I could live my life without Ted Nugent for sure, but that's a rare and cool story re: Necrophagist.

Quebecers love their metal, for truth. That being said, I haven't seen THAT many metal shows (and to be honest im not the worlds hugest metal fan, and I prefer mathcore/experimetal metal to straight death metal). The Dillinger Escape Plan were probably the most intense show I have seen, at Foufounes. When I lived in Halifax, Ion Dissonance (who are from Mtl) toured with some friends of mine. They were tight, albeit a bit too meshuggah-esque. Those guys (meshuggah) are ****ing awesome, I happen to think "New millennium cyanide christ":

a) is the best title for a track EVAR.
b) is possibly the toughest song I have heard in my life.
c) definitely has the best music video.

Would it be racist to state that Swedes make even better music than they do furniture designs? ;)

Suprisingly, Ted Nugent is a notorious red neck, but still quite a guitarist.

Indeed. He thinks way too highly of himself as a guitarist IMO but it doesn't really matter because his music is great. I think his political views are BS as well. Claims people are pansies for not fighting in the army when he himself avoided Vietnam conscription. The man is a nut case (and so is his wife), but his hunting shows are entertaining and Stranglehold is brilliant. I've watched the Motor City Mayhem version of it and it's just insane.

Bit of an older post, I know, but I was just going through this thread...
Quote from: ricercar;195746
I'm not going to sacrifice linearity for amplitude. I'm 20-13,500 at +/- 1dB and 17,000-23,000 Hz +/-3 db according to my hearing specialist. The gap (hearing loss) from 13.5 to 17K is 100% caused by more than a decade of live music three times a week WITH EARPLUGS.

With earplugs?! Goodness.

My wife did telephone customer support for the same decade, and she can't hear from her left ear. What a pair we make. What?

I sincerely hope monaural (one-sided) headsets have died out nowadays. You can understand things significantly better when you hear them over both ears. "Significant" in like 20 dB of less volume required or so.

Too bad I can't watch some of the vids here, stupid Youtuborders[tm]. ;-( (Youtube didn't bother to pay for public broadcasting rights for Germany, so a good bit of identified major label stuff in particular ends up blocked here. In many cases some generous soul will have uploaded another copy, but not always. I don't get it. I mean, it's free promotion, isn't it?)

Anyway, on to the early '80s again, this time watched from my side of the pond.

This from 1982. Radio hit, too (minus the intro, obviously).

(A band with some brilliant stuff in the early '80s before they went to lighter pop from '84 on, although their later albums still contain a few gems.)

Same year.

(Perfect album btw.)

A brief jump back to '78.

(No comments needed, I hope. Otherwise: Wikipedia time.)

I guess I could go on for hours, but catching a bit of sleep wouldn't hurt right now. And yeah, sorry, it's a bit UK-heavy right now. Maybe I should have slipped in some Kraftwerk or Scorpions or Alphaville. Ah well, maybe next time.

And finally, if you thought the '80s were over, nope. This from 2008.

(She's from New Zealand, but works in - have a guess... yep: London.)

During the 80's, everyone was afraid of Ronald Reagan...
