    War!

    No, not the kind that is on-going in other parts of WBF, but the really good kind!!!! Now this is one heck of band who really knows how to groove.

    The Great American Songbook

    I don't know why, but I just really enjoy that raspy voice of his. A few years ago I was holiday shopping at a store in Walnut Creek, just browsing, and for some reason I decided to look around at the other people in the store and I noticed that virtually everyone was bopping, heads and bodies...

    Christmas Music

    There's no section for Xmas music in WBF, so I thought I'd start a thread. I very much enjoy this music. It is happy, uplifting, fun and a whole host of other positive adjectives. My newest acquisition is no exception:

    Music That Makes You Feel At Home

    Here's what I mean... I have friends that I don't see very often. I have one friend that currently lives in New York with his wife and 2 daughters. I've known him since 5th grade, back before the Civil War. Through elementary, junior high and high school, we were best friends. We then went...

    Adele 25

    Well, she's putting her face right out there, isn't she? I'm listening to the album right now and it is solid, much like her previous efforts. Nothing earth shattering, but definitely really good music. I just hope the hype and over-promotion doesn't over-saturate the public's view of her...

    Artists That Seemingly Can Do No Wrong?

    We all have our favorite artists. For me, e.g., early 70s Genesis was tops. Joe Bonamassa is a guitar God. But virtually all of my favorite artists have put out at least one album that didn't quite cut the mustard. It got me thinking ... is there an artist that just always puts out 4 to 5...

    Where Are They?

    In the past few days I've been enjoying these albums: José James: No Beginning, No End Giacomo Gates: Miles Tones Gregory Porter: Liquid Spirit Great albums, each of them. Then I began to wonder. We have a plethora of great contemporary female jazz vocalists but it...

    Sh!t Happens!

    In the beginning a Plan was made, and then came the Assumptions and the Plan was completely without form or substance, and darkness fell upon the face of the workers. And they spoke amongst themselves, saying “This is a crock of sh!t, and it stinketh.” And the workers went unto their...

    Nefertiti

    I'm sitting here in my office listening to Miles' Nefertiti (in DSD) and am enjoying it quite a bit. All-star line up for sure. We tend to hear significantly more about other albums by Miles. Just wondering what some of the bop-heads here think about the music on this album?

    Pat Metheny Unity Group, Kin (<-->)

    I suppose it shouldn't come as a surprise, but Pat Metheny does it again with his 2014 release: Available in vinyl and digital, this is one superb album.

    The ***Unofficial*** Multichannel DAC Thread

    Who currently makes multichannel DACS? Are they hi-rez capable and, if so, to what degree (e.g., 24/192, DSD, etc.)? Anyone have personal experience with any such DAC? In what manner is the connection made from the DAC to the pre? Same questions for any multichannel DACS coming down the...

    Anti-Virus and Internet Security Software

    I've been a Norton/Symantec user since I can remember, and while it does protect all of my computers it seems to slow down performance, particularly on boot-up. So, for Windows computers, what anti-virus and internet security software is the best?

    Trip Hop

    Favorite Album Side

    I was thinking about album sides and how for a variety of reasons there are many albums where one side stands out over the other side as being my favorite, then I got to thinking more broadly about great album sides. Many (most?) members here are into vinyl or at least were at one time. I...

    Joss Stone: The Soul Sessions Vol. 2

    Joss Stone first came upon the music scene when she was only 16 years of age. Her first album, The Soul Sessions was, IMO, amazing. To hear a 16 year old sing with the kind of voice that brings to mind greats like Aretha, Carla Thomas, and Betty Wright, well, that album got a lot of play from...

    How 'bout those Kings!

    Where are our NHL fans? The Kings, seeded number 8, first handily take out number 1 seed Vancouver, then handily take out number 2 seed St. Louis, and now are up 1 game to zero against number 3 seed Phoenix. I'm jumping on the Kings bandwagon. Just amazing.

    What's Best In Comics Strips

    Calvin & Hobbes is my favorite comic strip of all time. I have all of Bill Watterson's Calvin & Hobbes books and re-read them every year. They always make me laugh out loud, guaranteed. I even had a Calvin & Hobbes reference in my wedding vows. What is everyone's favorite comic strip? I...

    The S.F. Bay Area is well known for being at the forefront of progressivism, be it the protests in Berkeley in the 60's, the general strike in Oakland in the 40's, the Black Panther movement, etc. Recently Oakland has made the news, for better or worse, with its Occupy Oakland contributions...
