The age old question: what makes something metal? It has come up for me lately a bit because my daughter has been enjoying AC/DC lately (started with hearing Highway to Hell over the closing credits of one of the Iron Man movies, now she likes some other tunes like Dirty Deeds and TNT) and she asked me “Is AC/DC heavy metal?” See the rest here
Thanks for the kind words, JaPaBo. I’ve been on a Yes kick since he died. I listened to one of the new 1972 live releases–7 or 8 whole shows are available. Good stuff. He was a bass genius. Arse, would you say he was your biggest hero back in the day? See the rest here
Sad–hope the big man is ok…
And wow, those newer Yes albums must really suck if they are worse than Tormato! See the rest here
I admire their efforts, but I listened to Frantic and it’s still a shitty song. See the rest here
Thanks for your intrepid reporting, as always. Nice to hear that the Haunted and Kreator ripped it up as usual. I was surprised to see they played so much Dolving era stuff—how did those tunes sound? And as for DT, a 90 minute set is like a preshow warm up for them—they must have had to go to another venue to play another 3-4 hours after Loud Park to make it worth their while. See the rest here
If you used iTunes Match, you could then have all your music available to you on your phone by streaming or to download at will. You can still keep everything you have on your hard drive/iPod, but also have cloud versions available to you. No loss of control, probably better sound quality for streaming than what you currently have on your pod. See the rest here
JaPaBo, I’m sure we can help. Refresh my memory–how do you listen to your music? Is your Pod docked to the Wave Radio? A better option than getting another laptop is getting a large external hard drive (1 Tb will cost you only about $80 or less), hooking it up to your current laptop, and then connecting that to your radio.
