December 22nd, 2014     4695 By Christopher Scapelliti “Lennon or McCartney?” In the world of Beatle-dom, there is perhaps no question quite as vexing or as apt to start a discussion or fight. But it’s the question filmmaker Matt Schichter put to some 550 artists over the past...

I just saw a story segment about the legacy of Phil Everly and his brother on CBS Sunday Morning. It was an interesting story that reminded me of how important the Everly Brothers have been to the evolution of Rock n' Roll music in general, and to Country/Rock music in particular. They played...

Sad news...Nelson Mandela has died, there are too few like him. Rest In Peace

"Let's Dance" has been one of my all time favorite songs for a long time. Hence, this Kia commercial caught my attention right away. Cool remix...downloaded it for free at "SoundCloud"    https://soundcloud.com/moosebox/lets-dance-infiction-string  

Does anybody know the song in this new Cadillac commercial???    

        Ten years ago today Joe Strummer died unexpectedly. I often wonder what music he had left to write and to perform. His work with The Clash, of course, is well documented rock 'n roll legend. I personally think that his three albums with The Mescaleros are brilliant. What...

Personally, I think it sounds like the Stones are sounding pretty good! What do you think?  

In Pennsylvania we're expecting the weather to be pretty bad by late Monday into Tuesday, maybe into Wednesday. The weather reports are using phrases like "Frankenstrom," and Monster Storm." Last year we had the freak snow storm this weekend. If you're along the east coast give those of us that...

The "Breaking Bad" thread was entertaining. I never saw a "Hell On Wheels" thread, but I was a little disappointed in the second season. I'm wondering if anybody is planning on watching the new season of "The Walking Dead?"

I just read that Andy Griffith died. I grew-up watching Andy Griffith. The whistling theme song is still fresh in my memory though I haven't seen an episode of the show in years. I also loved the movie "No Time For Sergeants." Thanks for the memories Mr. Griffith!  ...

     I saw The Lumineers at Ram's Head Live! last night. I am a seasoned concert goer and I must say that I was impressed by this young band. They announced from the stage that this was the largest crowd (maybe 500 people?) that they had ever played in front of. The band consists of Wesley...

Did anybody see the premiere of Aaron Sorkin's new show on HBO, "The Newsroom?" I thought that it was incredibly absorbing. It's nice to see some intelligence on television. What did you think?

I saw Radiohead last night in Camden, New Jersey. They are an absolutely incredible band. I was in the pit and the view was great. It was almost like being in the show. I experienced such sensory overload that I didn't realize that they did "There, There" until I looked at the setlist below...

Just listened to NPR's "All Songs Considered: Top 25 Listener Picks For 2011." I have included the "Top 50" chosen by the All Songs Considered staff, and the list of the top 100 albums picked in their listener poll for 2011. They're both pretty eclectic lists. What do you think? Which list is...

It has just been reported that Steve Jobs has died. What a tragedy, fifty-six years old. RIP Steve, thanks for everything!   http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/steve-jobs-apple-ceo-dies/story?id=14383813   The epitaph below is posted at Apple...thanks Currawong...

Did something happen that caused the "Your Community Profile" display to collapse into an abbreviated form? Something weird happened about 6:00 P.M. that caused this to happen to my community profile...

The first stage of the 97th Edition of the Tour de France is history. The 2010 Tour de France that began with the prologue in Rotterdam today is in the books. This Tour is shaping up to be an exciting one (as if there is any other type!). If you're watching the Tour, post your comments and your...

I was very sorry to find out this morning that Bono required emergency back surgery. Many dates on U2's Summer Tour have been postponed to 2011! I received the notification below from Ticketmaster. I certainly wish Bono a speedy recovery. No U2 this summer, bummer!     We just learned that...

After 1586 pages, "Music Game VIII" has been closed. May it rest in peace in the archives of "musical competition." Let's see if there's any interest in "Music Game IX." Let the games begin! I'll give the name of a song and the next person has to name a song using any of the words in the song...

They're already calling this snowstorm "historic." I have already heard it called The "Weatherman's Day" snowstorm, "Snowpocalypse," and "Snowmageddon." Is it twenty-four hour news cycle exaggeration, or is it really that bad? Are you snowed-in? Are you listening to music?

An interesting article on something that most of us have been experiencing, reading about, and talking about for years. The more people that understand, the greater the chance something might be done about it, right? The Loudness Wars: Why Music Sounds Worse : NPR

I'm going to buy an acoustic guitar. I played fairly well twenty years ago, but career and personal crisis consumed my time and lured me away. I sold all of my gear. Now I'm curious to see if I can get back into it. I don't know what if anything I remember. Based on the advice of a friend I have...

Happy New Year to everyone at Head-Fi! Many of us have friends here that we've never met but value throughout each year. Some of us seek advice, share our experiences, play games, and/or simply converse with our friends throughout the world. So all the best in the New Year and beyond for you and...

I have this film pre-ordered on Blu-Ray. I have checked out the website and have seen the trailers, but it didn't play in any theaters near where I live. I was wondering if anyone saw it and what your review of it would be...

Just upgraded to "Snow Leopard." Installation was fast and clean. I have noticed no software/hardware issues. Things are noticeably "snappier" around here, that's for sure. Have you upgraded? What has your experience been...?
