    VH1's "Band Reunited" show

    Philip_T- Check out "Mourning Widows" and "Schizophonic", but also the newest release by Nuno called "Population-1". It's really great. That dude can really write songs. "Schizophonic" is probably his best musically, but the MW stuff is great if you can get your hands on it, and Pop-1 is no...

    Need microphone recommendation for home karaoke.....

    One time Phil got a playboy Karaoke LD. It's basically a regular playboy video but with the lyrics to the music at the bottom just like regular karaoke. We didn't tell anyone. We found the track with the longest amount of time from the beginning of the song to nudity and sang that for people. We...

    Is there good Rap?

    I thought I might chime in with my 2 cents from a different perspective. I have been a songwriter for about 13 years, and within the past 4 or 5 I have been writing mostly rap.

    Need Suggestions for a Great $50.00 Remote

    Kameleon! Kameleon! Kameleon! I have it and I love it, too! Not only is it super cool, it's easy to use for my wife and for me. Getting a remote that my wife can handle was important in my decision as well, and the Kameleon was the perfect solution.

    Home Theater In A Box Comparisons

    so far, I have had no trouble with the center channel speaker. It doesn't sound weak at all. Unfortunately, I don't know about the distortion in the sub and speakers because a) I haven't jammed it too loud for too long, and b) because I have the sub turned down about -5db. Both of these...

    Home Theater In A Box Comparisons

    I have the Sony DAV-C770 and am happy with it. It's nice and small, very nice looking, and sounds good, especially in my 20' x 10' living room. I also had heard bad things about Sony from my brother Philip, specifically about the sound, but I was pleasantly suprised when I got the unit home...
