I am putting a Shiva in my sister's car soon and would like to add some color to the dustcap in the form of a Tazmanian Devil cartoon. Her Monte Carlo came with pace car and Taz logos affixed and I'd like to continue the theme in the sub.) Is there a good way to do this without affecting the...
Philip, thanks for your reply, I have spent some time over there already (after I posted this), so my questions have since been answered. Your sub is similar to what I want to do, are you completely happy with it? A
I am in the planning stages for another "budget" home theater in a new house and am intrigued by the IB concept. Right now I have a Tempest sono that has served me quite well, but am intrigued at the prospect at increasing overall output. I would like to use my current Tempest repurposed with...
[useless rant on]:) While I truly agree with some of the postings here (especially those regarding Clear Channel, the RIAA, etc.), I think maybe the blame for this mess lies somewhere a little closer to home-- namely us, the fans. Before I'm flamed off the board, consider the fact that the...
[flame suit on] I'm sorry in advance, but I may have missed the point of the thread. IMHO, the actual PERFORMANCE of the music on this CD is stellar, absolutely more of the same (and yet somehow different) Norah that we became infatuated with last time around. My stupid haggling point is...
John Geelan, I agree. This song was a great find for me. I put in on a mix disc for my wife because of the opening line but she didn't listen long enough to hear it! Dome Vongvises, I, too, have gone back to the beginning so to speak in rebellion to the corporate radio problems alluded to...
The price is a not-so-bad ~$70 per ticket for Met/Godsmack. And you are completely right about prices of other concerts- a WHOLE other discussion (kinda reminicient of the Pearl Jam fight in the 90's with Ticketmaster). Anyway, Rolling Stone magazine had a little diddy about ticket prices...
I absolutely hated this song the first time I heard it (probably had something to do with the fact I first heard/saw the video. But now, I laugh everytime I hear it- just the falsetto coupled on top of the guitars and beats gives this tongue-in-cheek performance that is awfully funny to me...
I think they did play it. Thanks for the great song list, though, I was just excited to be there (on the front row center, I might add, rather proudly!) to see the live "comeback" by the boys. What'd ya think of the new bassist swinging his guitar around his neck by the strap? :D A
Sheldon, the show will be great if it's anything like the last Summer Sanitarium Tour. I was in St. Louis this past summer to see them and they played all the old stuff, Blackened, Battery, etc. and 2 of the new songs. Nothing from Load/Reload, I think one song from Black album. Really rocked...
I enthusiastically second Crutchfield. Service is impeccable and the included additional mounting kits/wiring harnesses are awesome! I have used Pioneer receivers in my last 3 cars and have been satisified overall, although I'd like some better functionality in the MP3 player I bought last...
From my personal experience, my Paradigms took on a noticably whole other sonic attitude after playing them for several weeks (much much better bass response and warmer mids). I tend to wonder if break in is a true scientific phenomenon (being of a scientific myself), but for me, it is at least...
I thought I heard somewhere that Ozzy may not be able to perform anymore since he is still recovering from his accident. (It would be cool if he did, mind you, since I like his performances.) Any more info than this? A
If you are willing to download and install it, Avant Browser adds some great functionality to the IE program. It is not a different browser, it uses all the IE stuff so everything works just like IE. It's kinda like and IE skin but allows you to open new windows with the click of the mouse...
Nick, great thread! I feel kinda partial to vinyl as I started my musical "liberation" (think Almost Famous where the sister leaves her records) on some old albums my dad bought back in the 70's- Led Zeppelin, Henry Gross, Steely Dan, and a host of others. Being 27 now, I definitely love...
I have used DirecTV for 4 years and have never had a problem- the moving help alone is worth using it! Has anyone checked out/signed up for Voom, the new HDTV satellite yet? (See www.voom.com) Looks like $750 setup and $40 /mo. I am trying to find the best value for HDTV programming. A
I don't know if this would work for you, but I have a similar theater in my basement that I used those little Easylights mounted on wire. The wires stretch across the ceiling and the lights hang off the insulated wire by metal rods. A
I am looking for something that will turn on my sub amp when I turn on my receiver. It seems that I read something about a year ago about this (I believe it was a product from Sears for shop tools that senses when you turn on one thing and turns another), but I can't seem to find it anywhere...
I have to agree with Ron and MartinTeller.
I was disappointed with the film's plot overall- I felt it was predictable and not very fresh. I won't give anything away since I really can't put my finger on it anyway. I couldn't help thinking of Se7en as I walked out. I remember feeling...
I'm wearing out my stylus putting all these suggestions into my PDA's "Want/Need to see file!" I haven't been this excited to see/buy films since I "discovered" Kevin Smith and Quentin T. a few years ago. (Hey, I'm only 25, at least I'm TRYING to slowly work my way backwards to the classics...
I will also be delving into this world of digital cameras soon (and don't know anything so I will peruse the sites listed above asap).
The Sony Mavica MVC-CD200 looks pretty cool. CDr/rw storage and decent resolution.
Any opinions on this or any other cameras?
A
[I'm not sure where to post this, but I'll put it in Movies since I need insight into what's actually good and not disc details (mods please move to HT software if need be).]
Inspired by some recent postings here and conversations with some influential movie buffs, I am buying some older...
